Well Ive been feeling sad due to the fact I havent driven my car since OCT.

Im waiting for my reprogramed ecu to get RE-checked by the shop that programed it.:mad:

Yes, since early october, blown motor. I finally have the motor all together in the car, the car starts to turn over, I stop, try it again, and the f-ing starter dies!!!!!!

My car runs, but do to the blown head gasket I tended not to drive it much this weekend. I have no idea when I'll get it fixed, when I'll even get up to the garage to do it, or if any other damage has been done. Yeah, not having mycar sucks. I'm having withdrawals.

I'm right there with you man....but I think I've got you beat.

I've had this car since Jan. of 02 and it hasn't run right since then. I finally got enough money and came to a final decision on what to do in November, and it hasn't ran since then. Swapped in a 40K mile KA, new Holley standalone, Wideband 02 kit, custom turbo manifold, MSD 7al-2, etc. and I'm still waiting on other people to finish custom parts which is the most frustrating part.

Mine doesnt run, but most of you guys know that! Hopefully within the month it'll be fired up. The funny thing is...I've never driven a stock 240...and probably wont for quite a while!

Never driven my 240. It is currently waiting on the motor swap. Luckily I just drove a 95 240 30 hours straight and then drove a 92 240 home for the same amount of time. In between I had fun driving them both.
