Bump.

How do I become a "Lifetime Supporter"?  Or is it reserved only for the whites?

You should be grandfathered in. 

Still alive.

Never mind, it lives again.  A little wiring fix at the control module and it fired right up and idled correctly.

It is mostly converted back right now, however the plug to the stock coil is missing some wires.  I am sure there are 3 that it needs, but I am not sure what colors they are now.  

Anyone with an 850 could tell me the colors and the order, that would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Not sure if there was something with the tune or not.  It fried the 3 and 4 coil like a month ago.  I thought I had it fixed, but the bad miss issue started again on the way to work on Tuesday.  The harness wires to the coils were getting so hot they caught fire.

I have a picture of the damage, but it wasn't that bad.  Luckily I noticed the smoke coming out of the hood and put it out before it spread to write off the car.

I have it half converted back to running the 4.3 ECU.  I still have to change the injectors and install the stock coil.  The car is actually sitting in front of Carson's house right now, but he lives close by and let me use the spot. 

I should have it running tomorrow if the coil plugs in and works.

Since most of the threads on here are locked and no one around who has the ability to unlock them, I will post here.

Engine caught fire yesterday.  Electrical fire for the 3 and 4 coil and cooked the COP harness.  Currently in the process of converting the car back to 4.3 and distributor.  We'll see if I remember how to do it.

Anyone here have like chronic sciatica or something close?  
How's driving a manual work for you? 

 

I'm on the fence of if I want to attempt it, or sell the s70. 

I have had sciatica for some time, but I wouldn't say it is chronic.  Certain sitting positions will cause problems for me, but driving doesn't. 

Both my cars are manuals.

That said, I am most likely selling the 850. I don't have time or room for 2 project cars.

Booo

The fact there are threads like this that are still open from 2018, and others, but yet the one in OT got closed. lol

So true.

More updates please. 

Responding to a 6 year old post and his advice is to tell the original poster to reach out to a forums, while on a forum.

There are always far better candidates, but the old as fuck people voting in the primaries dictate who we are stuck with.

I want to see it launch Tie Fighter drones.

And others have abandoned him for Trump 2.0...

They are relatively cheap to replace, so do it.  If the toe has gone neutral, the car will wander more than if there is the normal slight toe in.

Toe alignment issues will case excessive tire wear.  I replaced mine in December because of toe issue, and the rear bushing on both were worn out.

I am on my 3rd set since owning the car, but I do have a lot of miles on it. 

DeSantis is only big in Florida.

Yeah, we can let this thread die. 

Still supporting the wannabe dictator?

An update I suspect.  We have had the same issue in the past, but only for a day or so.

I will definitely stick with the brand in the future.  I am quite happy with mine.

Again, it is an older model, so SD card.

Blackvue DR750 2 channel.  Been running it for at least 6 years now.  They have 4k models now.

I have no products from Russia.

I refuse to acknowledge my earth age 

I have always done this.

I have AAA, but I have only ever called them for tows.  I have never used a discount or anything else with them.  At most I have towed twice in the same year with them.

And clearly sad about your first post.
