Default The Achieva lives again!

Since the other thread is starting to get really long. Decided to start a new one going forward.

After a long hot day, Saturday. We finally solved the problem. It was not what we had believed it was. Turned out a wire into the control module had been scived for a connection to an alarm the previous owers had installed. As best we could surmise, from removing the connection, numerous times due to checking the plugs, packs and housing.

Anyway, this wire had pulled back into the connector. We ended up pulling the wire out, cutting it, reinstalling it and putting a connector back in. Voila, the car was running on 4 cylinders, once again.

We proceeded to get the tach, water temp gage and fan controler wired in. Still have some trouble with the fan control. We'll get the bugs out. Today, I'm going to get things cleaned up and work on some brackets to stabilise things.
