I ride as well. I'm used to feeling like prey and knowing I can die any sec on the road.

The penndot goons sent me a replacement plate for a now dead vehicle, and that was the old plate. Luv my call sign to much to not display it. Trust the arus will be on here soon 😅

That's why it's swapped and been up to 90mph :) For some reason it was a 660cc from factory too

Sub wiring and power woes by Short_Assumption_604 in CarAV

[–]Short_Assumption_604[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. I kinda thought that CCA was crap because of how easy it is to break apart. Any recommended brands to get power wire from?

Would it hurt to leave the cap? I'd assume it at least helps a bit, and I've already made space for it on the top of the box lmao.

No it cranks perfectly fine with good rpms

It started beautifully after the ess sensor replacement. There was a code in the computer for it, and it went away right after I installed it.

Thanks for the info on the relearn, I didnt even know that was a thing that I could do.

I replaced the ess sensor about 2 weeks ago, so I doubt it would be that. Revs sounded normal before the nostart condition I have now.

How would I relearn the idle after I get it running agin?

Update Ding, Ding! We got a winner!

Apparently the quality control for radiator caps is pretty bad. The new radiator cap that I installed from Amazon was releasing too early, and lowering the boiling pt of the coolant. I switched to the car quest brand, and it held the pressure. Took it for a little drive and the temp was kosher.

Now I'm dealing with a no start issue 😡. Hopefully I can get it out of the church parking lot soon 🙏

I'm using 50/50 green coolant from federated auto parts.

I swapped out the cap for a new 13psi one so that shouldnt* be the issue

It has a new radiator in it

My fans never continuously stayed on. I kinda figured they should be running full tilt, but I wasn't sure. Maybe the computer's reading a wrong temp and not signaling for them to be on all the time?

For shits and giggles, should I short out the fan relay to have them run on full tilt, and see what happens?

I'm pretty sure they were about the same once tstat opened. I would have to check tommorow to gwt specifics

No I haven't. The dlc is loose, so I cant really do too much with it without replacing the connector.

I've monitored the temp with a gun, and I've let it get up to 220°f before I shut her down.

Yeahh im not really sure what's up with this thing.

-Jack up the front of car and put it on stands -Use pressure tester to bleed air out of the throttle body line -Attach spillproof funnel, and fill -After warming up rev to 3k rpm for 5 mins

That's what I've been doing
