well, today didn't really have much time to mess with it, but i went out and tried to start it, and it clicked just a couple of times. As Aston said, I think it may be the battery. I am going to try another battery and will let you all know whats up. Thanks.

My car died today, and when i turn the key, there is nothing, no clicks nothing. I think it may be the starter. I can push start it, but it will not start on its own. its a K8 with mtx swap. Will the starter from the atx interchange or no?? Thanks in advanced.

It could be that your heater core is clogged. When moving you may just be getting heat from the engine bay coming through the firewall somewhere. Try taking out the core, and having it blown out. Just a thought.

1000 sounds a little steep to me.....just my opinion.

Quick question. Will the accessory belt pulley from a 2.5 fit a 1.8? The pulley for the water pump???? Thanks.

From my experience, doing a motor swap is very easy. If you have just the smallest hinkling of knowledge about cars, you can do the motor swap yourself. Don't pay someone for something that you can do yourself... If you have to, Take pics of the engine before you pull it. That way you can look at th...

Alright, I am having a little bit of a problem. I am loosing coolant. While my car is idling after its warm, i get a little bit of smoke coming from behind the headlight. Is there anything there that could have cracked? Anyone else have this problem? When i did the atx to mtx swap i did not change o...

When i did the atx to mtx swap, i just bypassed my switch. If you cut them and splice them together, that will bypass them, and viola, no more neutral safety switch......

Alright, Huge update...... Finally finished the HEI mod, and she started right up!!!! WOOOOOO. You guys really helped me out alot. I appreciate all the help and advice. I still have a few little bugs to work out still but I drove her to work today, and she ran like a champ. Thanks for the help. :D

are you getting a spark? If not check into the HEI mod

I had a problem with the HEI mod with an external coil. Did you keep the three pin plug, or did you cut it off? Apparently it has to be cut off and wired straight to the Ignitor. Don't know if this helps, but just thought that I would add.

Okay still working at this.

I ahve done the HEI mod, and still am not getting a spark. I have everything hooked up per the worklog. One thing I did not understand is should the 3 pin plug still be hooked to the disty or not? I think my disty went bad. But doing this mod should make it work, right???

Can you do the HEI mod on a disty that has went bad?? Cause I have tried everything that I could think of, and I am still not getting a spark

okay still no progress...... got a couple of quick dumb questions..... 1. Is there more to resetting the ecu than just taking the neg. cable off the battery??? 2. I am trying to avoid buying a new disty. I did the HEI mod, and still no fire. If I put the external coil on it, will that make the disty...

Alright.....little bit of an update. I pulled the codes and got 5 of them. 02 - crankshaft sensor (I just changed this) 03 - camshaft sensor (in the disty, right??) 08 - VAF sensor ( will be putting a cai on soon) 26 - canister purge solenoid (have no clue where or what this does.) 23 - RHO2S inacti...
