Hello everyone.
I hope in the next day or 2 to get this car started..
My question now is if I pull the fuel pump fuse to crank the engine to get oil pressure up, Will That Cause Any Codes to show up... You know a code that only the Dealer Can Reset?
As Always thank you guys...

One more thing does anyone know why I pictures show up upside down on here? Should I take pictures upside down to get them right side up when I post them???

Its browser dependent - don't worry about it too much. If you click on them, do they magically right themselves??

Dont worry about oil pressure. 99% of engine wear DOES NOT occur on cold start, despite SAE starting that rumor 800 years ago.

Just fire it up and let it idle for a bit and get warm. Get a good charge into your battery now, before you start cranking. It can take 30 seconds of cranking to get the mixture right to fire up after a major overhaul.

Crank for 5 seconds, wait for 10. Repeat until varoom....

You might try shooting with the other hand. Or you can load them into Microsoft paint, then save them before you post them. Paint clears up the rough code that causes this.

Loaded into Microsoft paint then saved.

Plastic one on top or metal one over exhaust?

The 2 metal pieces over the manifold.

This is how I believe it goes....
But there a coolant pipe in the way...

Unless I some how bent that coolant line?? Thought I was careful. .. but it could happen..
Not enough room to slide it under and match up the holes.
Grrrrr getting rained now I'm a wetback....
