I copied and pasted thinking I would get more exposure to my dilemma. If that's a no-no please feel free to ignore this post
.
"It's been a while since I updated. I wasn't able to get it running for the last race of the season, I was so depressed!!
My father in law, Al, helped out immensely with all of the following;
One of the reasons was when I was cleaning threads in the front drive yoke I busted a tap in the threads
I was able to get it out, luckily the tap was protruding enough that pulling the yoke off the front diff and with a little grinding on the tap I was able to grab the end with some pliers and turn it out through the front. But that cost me about three hours.
Once I had the engine, trans and t-case installed, I did the wiring, installed the rad, and then went to install the spark-plug wires and coil. For the life of me, I could not remember where I had put them. I wasted another 1/2 hour searching high and low for the damn parts but never did find them
So I took the parts off of my exploder, glad I bought that a while back.
Also installed, with a bit of modification, an Air-raid cold air intake from my '97 f-150 that was stolen and bought back by yours truly.
Installed the fuel cell and pumps. I had to do a bit of wiring to clean up the mess I made last time I was in such a hurry. I also moved the high pressure pump so I would have room for a rad that I'm going to install in the back, just in front of the rear end. I'm going to install it flat, in between the frame rails, with an electric fan blowing downwards. I'm thinking that this will help the COG [COG=center of gravity] as well as take some weight from the front.
So when I went to start the sucker, it wouldn't
I pulled codes and got these;
51; ect [engine coolant temp] sensor out of range indicated/circuit open [may be because there is no water in the system yet]
63; throttle position circuit fault below minimum voltage [tried back probing but not sure I'm doing it right]
54; intake air charge temp sensor circuit open [?]
67; air conditioner clutch [not applicable]
57; neutral pressure switch [? I think I don't have it plugged in at the trans/t-case]
85; canister purge circuit failure [not installed]
95; fuel pump secondary fault [not applicable as I have low and high pressure pumps on their own circuit]
So I haven't looked at it in two weeks but am now in the fix it mode. Any input would be appreciated, especially on the codes.
Thanks,
Richard"
