Ty John, it fired up first time last Friday rur, rur....first key stroke and roared to life after exactly a month apart like it never had been apart John....then before the fuel pump came back on (pump prime worked everytime I went key on)... it died. Tried 4 times and same result, then I ran out of daylight and open header noisemakers time in my close neighborhood. I had been up for days@that point was exhausted.
Went to bed and got up late Saturday, started through that long drawn out Holley 1st Startup checklist, did not get far before total embarrassment set in...1st up brought up the check functions, fuel pump on and it runs fine, so the relay is working, got my Wife Celeste out in the garage at the keyboard to check injector function with my hands on it and ear close and zero clicking sounds or spray when she hit the few milliseconds test button a few times, throttle body throat and blade are totally dry but I can gather through the nose a faint smell of sweet Sunoco 110, yeah the pump prime is providing something, but no spray...so, I remove the clip, noise it as she fires it again, there is juice there at the clip, put the meter on the injector to ck ohms and it is low, yeah the stock injector(s) I own are all low impedance injectors and oh lord what a fool I am....In paper building a Holley EFI systemand first choosing the features you choose the ECU then build the system around that ECU, last
January there was a footnote once I chose the Terminator X system, while HP and Dominator can use either high or low impedance injectors Terminator uses only the high. Old age caught up to me, but you do not build a system for a combo that you cannot buy an off the shelf kit for by buying the injector first, you buy the ECU first (I could not get to that laptop fast enough to order the exact injector from holley I need to get fire in the holes and keep it running long enough to reach at least idle and she is standing there whole I am red faced.
I order 1 and spend another hundred and change, she was as usual not really happy waving another hundred plus goodbye, not upset, just not happy...until I said "well thank goodness we own a budget Stocker: that only needs 1", as I scrolled to same part number but a set of 8 of em, then she glanced at the much bigger price and smiled once I said we only need 1 and maybe a spare
later, at least it is not a set of 8. She was happy...the Injector is due here Friday by 9:00PM and I already warned all the neighbors on Friday evening I am making lots of happy open header noises no matter the time it arrives!
What a goofball though forgetting to buy the right injector. Getting older is hell.
At least I know it works right once that issue is resolved. I did achieve a short idlingsession the next morning dribbling a bit of gas down the throat. just once, but you know I had to make at least 1 attempt. Lol. It is going to run great!
Now just to get the last 8 wires (the Bosch lsu 4.9 WBO2 sensor wires pin mapped), but I need the TYPE and other configuration data to do so), and tge choice was in correctly of WBO2 type so I did not hurt it as the light showed yellow so it was heating key on.
That is the job for today. And the injector is 3 days from arrival. Then happy sounds begin again. Testing just a week away and I hope this cold weather is still here. She is going to fly! Well, for a slow car at least.
