it was only 800$! yes, it was in a collision. no frame damage, just core support forward. not too shabby. got paperwork back through 2003 as well. fresh motor, diff ran through, brakes, tires, whole nine yards.

ill be pulling it apart saturday/sunday. timing belt done, what else should i do? 1 piece hids, but any other ideas? only 130k miles haha

 

ive been wrestling with this thing since saturday. ive replaced clutch fan and its pulley/assembly, serpentine, from service position back to having a front end minus bumper assembly, headlights and a hood.

shes comin along nicely

 

interior shots

 

ive been experimenting with fluids and throttle. im having 2 issues.

1 coolant light is flashing, beeps 3 times. done all checks(minus voltage, ect) coolant is fine, no leaks, sensors connected

2 under heavy load oil check light comes on. only under those circumstances.

engine idles around 500 and is a little choppy. revs fine, throttle response, ect

 

check engine light is on, temp is gone, oil is gone, nothing different lol. only restarted it a few times.

code is a 1602, low voltage, intermittent. battery is fine, bought in '11, checked voltage even with stereo on. 12.68v, running is 13.66v. too low for the alternator to be running? im used to seeing 14+, but i dont see a problem?

 

bump for .02$ lol
