Do Buicks count as a type of terrain? -
Shane,
I don't know about the abq cops. My advice is, don't get pulled over...
I have two spare transmissions that need a little repair if you want 4wd instead of awd... One is a 4sp, the other a 5 spd.
I need to rebuild my EJ22 that's in my hatch before I do anything else. Probably going to start that in a few weeks.

There's a 93 legacy wagon on craigs for $350-no title... I want it if its a manual trans...been wanting to but a manual in my Baja, and use the engine to replace a E82... it's probably 30 min from me, how's the cops here for snagging you if you buy a car with no title an drive it home?
I noticed another 93 four door, good shape-white ext, on craigs guy is asking around $1000 and there is a 93 or 96 wagon in santa fe for $650, manual but needs a clutch...just in case you are interested...
Gonna call that guy tomorrow on the $350 wangon, that's a deal!
later, Shane

Welcome! Nice cars and shop! I live in Socorro, Glad to see another Member from NM!

Shane,
I haven't driven by it for a couple months, but the last time I checked, that brat was still there. It is a blue, a pushbutton start ( I don't know why someone wired that in...) with a Light/roll bar from an s-10 i think installed. I don't think it had the jump seats, but i could be wrong. I'll be driving by in Aug at the latest if you are interested. The story behind it is: It got traded in for a newer car in ABQ but it sat on the lot and didn't pass inspection. Whenever this lot can't pass a car, the owner sends it to this guy in Carrizozo. Lot owner is asking $1000 for it. (which is why its been sitting) But that was 5 years ago. I'm confident he will sell it for next to nothing.
I busted my EJ in my hatch on memorial day. Overheated it in Red river. It will be sitting for awhile until I have time to work on it.
Keep in touch for JY runs and such. Maybe we can go on some trails soon.

Well damn, at least I know that I definitely have a phase one EJ now Thanks for the info and help

Thanks for the diagram. You were right, it was the main relay. In your drawing there are 3 plugs. I'm under the impression that the obd 1 ecus have three plugs and the obd2 ecus have one large one. I'm only saying this because I have one large plug. Am I missing something? I'm asking because I know that I don't have all of the powered pins connected but it is currently running fine off of the switched power. I would like to fix this at some point. Thanks again
-
It ran before wires got cut, but I didn't check the main relay. Could you refresh my memory of how the pins are numbered please? I'm in the middle of a move and don't have access to my diagrams. I'll check this out in the morning, otherwise I'm headed to the junk years to pull another ecu. Thanks.

A few weeks back, my stripped wiring harness for my 95 EJ22 swap got some of its wires wrapped up around one of the front axles. A few wires were ripped, but for the most part it just unplugged the engine. Today we soldered the wires back together plugged everything in, and no love. There is no signal to turn on the fuel pump and no spark. From what I've seen while wiring the engine, the ECU grounds the Fuel Pump relay to turn it on. We manually grounded the pin for that wire, to test the the relay and it came on, but the ECU never did that while plugged in. The power and ground pins for the ecu also tested good. I've been using my scan gauge for most of my gauge readings, but when we plugged it into the OBD2 port, it would never connect. This leads me to believe that the ECU is malfunctioning. I'm assuming that it got fried when the wires snapped when wrapped up around the axle... What does everyone else think? Any ideas, experience, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

So Really, how many started a ej swap and never finished it

Update: As of this week, the EJ Swap is finished! -
Great news! I was having idling issues because of too little back pressure! I held a plate over the exhaust and it idled fine! :banana: (I'm only running the legacy Y pipe right now) I *just* finished stripping my wiring harness... wow... Can someone please explain the key switch to me? When looking at it, the Black/Yellow, Red, and Red/Yellow all look like they are supposed to be connected to a hot. Is this true? How is that supposed to work? :-\ Thanks! It may be 2 am, but I still have a huge smile about the harness being fully stripped. Hopefully it still runs

I realize that a large portion of the members are not anywhere close to NM, but for the few there are.... The 2011 New Mexico Tech Spring Fling Mudbog Competition! Saturday April 9th!
