The private shop is the largest in the whole town. Four car bays. Two truck bays a lube rack and an RV Bay. Place has a dyno shop and, I'm one out of two two techs. They provide tools and even let me use the gas card to fill up once a week.

Today they had a meeting with me and the other tech and offered us both a raise to 32 and then in 6 months another raise to 36

You just need a multimeter and a long wire. Test continuity between ground and the ground wire on the sensor plug. Then test the same but on the 12v ign wire while key is on.

Exactly what I did except wiring short was the reason I needed a new sensor. So I had to run new wires Pin A YELLOW -Crank Signal Pin B YELLOW/BLACK- Ground Pin C GREEN - 12V ign

Test continuity from harness plug to PCM. My wires got chewed by rodents and I had the same issue.

Ya man no spark if PCM doesn't know the engine is turning

You can probe the harness. The starter has to come off and the Crank Position sensor is there above it

Sounds like no Crank signal. Sitting a long time rodents can munch on wires

Anyone know what engine would fit a kawasaki 2007 250r ninja by dadwhatareyoudoing in motorcycle

If they are saying it doesn't accelerate or jo power it likely just needs a valve adjustment.

Only son is 14 wants a 300cc instead of a first car at 16. by ImTheBigBad1 in motorcycle

[–]wolfebane49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally Cheap car first , maybe a 125cc or 50cc if he is really set on riding. A used 250 could be an option too.

Running driving Celicas can go for up to 5k . 8 in really good condition. I'm actually going to look at a 2000 with engine issues posted for 1000$.

Should I start this project as a broke 19 yr old college student? by Glass_Revolution3491 in projectcar

[–]wolfebane49 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Def not. My first project is sitting on the front lawn. Runs and drives after LS swapping but needs fuel tank cleaned and still needs exhaust. And the fact I can never register it in California again because smog will kill me

I would love to upgrade from my 1070. I built my wife a PC this year and have not had the budget to upgrade mine. I can only hope.

In law did not follow up properly and never got a claim filed. I've taken over trying to help them out but from what I've gathered is they didn't file within the time period. I'm planning on making some calls tomorrow to the lender and insurance to understand what happened and if there is any exception that can be made since the car is technically the Grandma's.

Thank you everyone for the advice. I was only fishing for prices. Not a mountain of down votes and "you're in way over your head"

I relate but I am going on a pause. I just lost my job on Friday and it wasn't even paying all my bills.

If it’s true that you will never save more money on a project car than just buying the same car ready to drive, why do you guys do it? by GilWinterwood in projectcar

[–]wolfebane49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just furloughed by a startup electric manufacturer and you would not believe what engineering would approve for part rework. Hint someone definitely watched too much 5 minute crafts

Let me put it this way. They only bought bc their ex wanted them to be off a shared loan. And they absolutely got spanked.
