And we turn our attention to the 1999 Silver S70 AWD

USED gates barricade to bridge my new fuel line to the fuel rail. Clamped with two Oetikers
Installed air cleaner and battery., put two gallons of gas in tank

Cranked 5 x for 5 seconds, coughed on 6 attempt.
Caught and ran on 7th
No codes
Brought it to full operating temperature
Idled for 30 minutes at 40 F until oil showed clear of water.

She is smooth runner. Need to sort rear brakes and fuel filler

So is it a brand new car as the mileage shows as a series of '--------''s? Thankfully, I now hope you are on the way to another functioning car after a huge learning curve! Well done that man!

I wonder if this is some sort of atonement for sins against a machine in the past.
Whittling away at the projects in the driveway, good on ya, Matey.

I’ve taken “ the Kat” out twice for 15 mile runs at 55 mph. She is returning 28 mpg, cruises at 2000 rpm

Power off the line is crazy good. She is in FWD MODE with no driveshaft and a 3 inch? Down pipe and Bosal cat

Hopefully have some good results and pics end of day and perhaps a running car end of tomorrow.
Good luck!

Are you doing the fuel pump and transfer pump while you have the tanks down? Also, were you able to find all the fuel lines, or are you fabricating them?

Always easy to see the error afterwards. I did swap the pump and ejector while in there but man were they expensive. The old ones worked but I did not want to go back in there anytime soon!

Still can't find that V70R video where a guy swapped the pump without dropping the rear suspension all the way.
