I am just waiting now. So far the update is that #5, and #8 injector were getting stuck open due to dirt and crap so they are all being cleaned as we speak. Will post an update covering the whole job when complete.

 

K so now we are just waiting on a few injectors. One has a cracked pintle cap and 2 others leak. Will keep in touch as soon as its finished.

 

okay. waiting.

 

Any progress?

 

Sorry guys I'm still waiting for some info. I will fill you in ASAP!!!!!

 

So everything is back together and now it still won't start. I sure am getting impatient!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Think you got the wrong guy working on it man. Not saying anything bad about your mechanic but you need a mechanic that really knows mustangs I think.

 

i agree. i would be starting to get impatient also. it bas been weeks!

 

I'm with AL you need to start hunting another guy. This is getting foolish. I don't know him so I will not say much but seems that that basic troubleshooting skills or something is lacking. I don't know really what else to say other than keep hunting it down it could be a broken a wire or something silly. someone is missing something and I would have lost it by now myself. best of luck.

 

Did anyone mention the salt and pepper shakers? They have been know to corrode or go bad.

 

It isn't that the 10 pin connectors go bad they have issues with the wiring/connection, there is a fix for them. do really here of a no start issue from this more eec quirks, idle quality issues and other odd things. I wouln't rule them out though and I would be going through the harness. having spark and fuel should be narrowing it down.

 

Checked the salt and pepper shakers then ttried to

 

Oops. So ya they were checked and cleaned and made sure that they had good continuity.

 

Well hate to say it but now I'm pissed. After all the messing around the motor seized. pretty sure all the fuel rinsed the cylinder walls clean and all the cranking just melted it. Don't know what to do but bang my head against the wall. Any suggestions?

 

How could cranking put more severe heat and wear than actually running? Sure you don't have a blown cylinder head gasket and a cylinder filled with water so it won't crank? That happened to me on a 442 back in the day.

 

motor seized when it never ran? Is it hydro locked stated? I think from the start this thing didn't either have compression from a bad head gasket or ring job. It needs to go to another legit shop for answers and you may need to take some legal action imo.

 

Agreed. Get it home before more damage is done. You need a mechanic that knows these cars.

 

I was just talking to him late last week and he had told me that we had a problem the motor won't turn over. And it's not the starter he said. I automatically assumed the worst still haven't talked to him cause I'm on holidays now. Will talk with him later this week then I think it's time to take a trailer with me and go for a visit.

 

That was a pretty big assumption.

 

Always thinking the worst when it comes to this thing. I figured he would have got back to me an said hey guess what it wasn't seized but nothing and it has been a week. I will throw a new post up when I know what it is.
