GS not getting trans swap after all (BUT) pics.... and thank

Post by tripleMX-3chicMS »

After much thought with cost on the swap for just the tranny in the GS..
I wanted my money to go to bigger & better use. So,
i changed my mind to do a full swap
(KLZE BABY :D )... BUT, im lacking in the muscle dept.
My MOCA Neighbors are busy with life as most of us are...
So this project is now on hold. BUT (another but)
I Finally had to drill n tap a spot out for that missing thermal sensor.
If you guys remember i had a 94 motor in my 92 GS. The wire harness had this dangeling
plug that needed to be plugged into something. That something WAS the other temp sensor.
The car no longer dies and the engine light is no longer on.. IM SO FREAKIN happy.
If anyone EVER has to drill that spot out i have ALL the measurements. (12x1.5)
Thank goodness i had the donor SE here cuz i took the sensor out and used in the GS.
(i also took the dip stick cuz the one in the GS was broke off) Hugs the parts car... :lol:
It took a minute for the car or computer to catch up and understand it was fixed.
I took it for a quick spin and it still did die... But while i was sitting there listening to it...
i noticed the engine light shut off. SO i took it for another short spin around the block.
Didnt die.. so i took it for a longer spin.... didnt die.. drove to walmart and back... STILL DIDNT DIE!
OMG Im so freakin happy.. You guys are so great.. i want to thank all of you for all the help
and bumps you give me to keep me workin on my cars and gain more and more knowledge.
Im not affraid to go out there with my tools and get in there and get dirty. <car oil dirty..
(no other kind of dirty... :lol: ) Anyway... Thank you :wink: De

Good job :welder:
You did flush it a couple of times, right (hopefully backwrds, and right out where the hose clamps on, so none of the shavings went into your engine)?
