Ok... so it's been a while since I updated anything.
I pulled all the hoses, pulled the plenum, pulled the injectors, pulled the intake runners, and pulled KS.
Injector harness and KS harness sucked... they were old, brittle, and did not appear reliable. So, ordered new ones of each. **** those were expensive! $95 for the KS harness, $50 for the injector harness even though it has about 10x the amount of wire and connections. Anyway... those should be here tomorrow.
Accumulators showed up for both Q's today... Thanks Keith!! I'll get the dead ones back to you ASAP.
Pulled 7 of the spark plugs today, will finish the last one tomorrow. I'll get the ornament covers on tomorrow as well.
Here are some pics of some of the work with plugs...
The spark plugs I pulled don't appear to be more than a year old... I didn't know they had been replaced so recently or I wouldn't have bothered. But, since I was in there, I decided to replace them anyway. On the plus side... I'll sell the used ones I took out to someone for cheap. They look barely used.
My plan from here is the finish spark plugs, button up the ornament covers, and be done with anything related to the plugs. From there I will replace the KS harness and put in the new KS. After that, I will start reinstalling hoses... until I get to the injectors. I'll install new injector harness and reinstall freshly Deatsched injectors (3 of mine were completely dead and 2 more were nearly dead!). Once injectors, harness, and runners are all installed I'll move on to the plenum.
Hopefully i can get all that finished in a reasonable amount of time. When I get the engine compartment finished, i'm going to install the last 5 recharged accums, new brake pads, and do the O2 sensors. Then I'm done with the Silver one.
After that, it's time to repeat the whole process on the green Q. But, I'm going to add a little something new...I'm going to reseal the valve covers! Yikes... that should be interesting.
