Hahaha, Thats because you got a new Baller Engine Hows it running btw man? What did it end up being when the Fuel Pump wouldnt turn on??

well the starter seems to be working for now, but im scared to turn my car off when I go places so i think i might just do it neways. Ill look online to try to find out more about this starter solenoid and see if thats it.

ok i'll explain some daignosis.

1). Check all related conections and wiring for the starter ( battery terminals, nut on the starter, grounds etc..)

2). When it is running, and idling,checkthe voltage on the battery with a multi meter, this should be above 13.5 volts.
if it isnt;
look into loose wiring/plug/ground on the altenator
look at the 75 amp fuse in the passenge side fuse box.
look at the drive belts condiditon, and check its tension( less that 1/2" play on the longest side)

3). with the starter, "it Clicking" usually indicates a lack of amperage going to it, and that is the soleniod you are hearing.
or in some cases, the bendix drive has become jammed and the stater just spins free, or does not work at all, besides the audible click.

I have checked most of the wiring, but im gonna jack the car up to take a better look at the starters wires. Shelby came over to help me yesterday and he brought his multimeter and we got 14.34 from the battery while idiling. Ive turned it on 10+ times since it didn't work and everytime without issue.

nope, but i hear there are a few Vriends in Abby/Chilliwack/Mission. Its a Dutch name and a lot of Dutchys are in that new wave religion bullshit.
My family doesn't believe in the Jesus/Religions and what not.
Im also the oldest in my family of cousins, next boy is i think 5 or 6years old other than my brother, whos 3 younger than me.

Oh ok.

On a very sad note. I just finished watching my comrades dvd again...ouch:(

[Chris Vriend]

did u watch after the credits for me dancing at the milf party?
in all its awkward gloryness. Did it have the reverse slam into the wall too? Its been a few years since I watched that dvd

[chris greenfield]

I dunno, haven't been in town since Jan. 3rd, but it was idling fine then we got power to the MAF and its rough again I think the PCM may just need to 'relearn' how to idle again. Still wont rev past 3000 rpm. The fuel pump just needed a good direct ground i think. I REALLY want to get it running when I get back so I can go practice at Cap D in the end of Feb.

Those were the days... I miss that shit

[Billy Bueger]

Oh for sure I watched the Milf party after the credits, the first time me and buddy were all baked and were too lazy to turn it off then it just came up and were like wtf is this? Ian gettin a lapdance and shit lol haha

Yes it had the reverse slam but I didn't know that one was u!! Lol I hope that wasn't all in one day. How is that car? U still drifting?

[Matt Petersen]

Hahah Milf party, awesome times lol.

[Chris Vriend]

matt i dont remember you being there.
that front collision and rear collision were 2 seperate events. front was sexy nights and rear was the fight cancer event.
i dismantled that car and put everything into my coupe. i drifted once last year at western did a shake down with wonky alignment, it was fun, and no crashing

i dont remember ian getting a lapdance in the movie, but i dropped it 'like its hot' for one of the moms on there. seeing myself actually od it looks soooo fucking gay/hilarious

[Brett Glosli]

Matt was there, lol... He had to put up with my passing out/drunk ass on the way home. He gave me a lift after.

[Chris Vriend]

oh, i thought everyone slept at trents that night. then again i slept there after i was boozed out AND i had to go get my fuckin car, thats right fuck just remembered

[Brett Glosli]

Trent's cat = death... So I had to leave.

That was a couple weeks after the black coupe got stolen

[Chris Vriend]

i like how this thread turned from alternators to milfanators
