I'm Awesome
All, the V8 swap is now complete so I'm starting a new thread, because now we are on to troubleshooting.
Just in case, 89 with a 94 5.7L 5-speed.
I found the aforementioned miss. Somehow, the #8 spark wire was disconnected. Upon connecting that, it started right up, gave me a few hiccups, one or two backfires through the TBI, but was still running. So, I continued to run the engine break in.
So, I'm sitting there, RPMs screaming @ 2500~ish, watching and listening for anything that could wrong. A couple minutes in, the CEL comes on. I decided to shut down and scan the codes. I got a 12 and a 13 and that was it. I've read that those mean diagnostic mode. How can I have a CEL with no other codes?
Anyway, before I shut it down, the engine was coming up to about 180° and I must say it sounded STRONG.
After scanning the codes, cranked until the cows came home and now no start again .
I'm going to wait until it completely cools off to see if that makes a difference. Reason being is that every time it started before, the engine was pretty much ice cold.
I know everyone is probably sick of telling me like it is by now... but.. suggestions?
