空白のスレート (aka RR's new ventures)

Small update.

It seems like the AFM was not the only thing wrong with the car’s electrical. It wasn’t idling properly, and once any throttle was applied, it would immediately die. Looked around for an answer, and saw that the ECU i had installed since my original one had been fried, had been tampered with by someone previously, and it was not reading anything air related. Comparing it to another ECU, we noticed a couple capacitors were missing, which was weird.

We then installed another ECU, and it worked... for a couple minutes. Then it would again die when throttle was applied. We opened it up once again, and this one was also fried. In the same exact spot as the original one. Long story short, the idle control valve was also short circuiting and frying the ECU. Suuuuuuuuper weird. Promptly replaced it, had the ECU professionally repaired, and...

(Here I was supposed to show a video of me starting the car and driving, but can’t figure it out, so take my word for it)

It drives! Frist time it moved around under its own power in 3(?) years.

Here’s a photo of the outside. Once it’s all put back together and working, I’ll have it painted, but I can’t wait to drive and enjoy it as is, at last.




And a photo of the engine bay with some new goodies installed.
