77731, A THANK YOU and some engine concerns
Posted by brokenrodguy, Jul-16-04 04:57 PM
Well first and foremost I would like to thank "pushin420a" for hooking me up and helping me swap a motor. THis guy is great, Ill vouch for him any day. Runs a sweet looking car. Very dedicated to sellin part on here thats its scary. Best thing is that the guy is motovated, thats why we got a motor swaped in 7 hours. Hey did you ever think what would happen would happen if we had the right tools instead of a ghetto rigged ceiling ? Dude pull that bitch in 2 hours. Anyway all is fine and car runs like a beast. Car dont sound like the past 2 motors so it brings me to some concerns. Right now the car is pullin ass but it seems clogged. Its missing the 2ng 02 sensor and a speed sensor. Other then that its fine. The motor through off a CEL and ran like shit for about an hour it the CEL stopped and ran fine. My guess is that it got used to the fact that its not gonna find those 2 sensors. Umm so the question is, what kind of trouble can I got into without those sensors ?? Im asking cause I just bought 2 motors in 3 weeks so cash is tight. Does the speed sensor just chill with the speedometer or does the engine need it?

Anyway thanks pushin420a and a lil bit for extreme97nt for helpin me swap my 2nd motor so I knew how to do the 3rd. And thanks for all you guys on the forum especially those that didnt doubt that I could drive on 3 pistons. If I got flamed for askin if its possible I would shoot back and flame everyone in there face }( . Anyway if I could do it I would do it again, so many stories o man. wow I can home last night and I was like dude what did I just do ?

First off brother....you have more exhaust leaks than you can handle. You know the gasket and the bolt on the downpipe are gone, as well as the coke can fix one your rear piping.

Get those fixed ASAP, you could do engine damage...I think.

Also get a scan tool obd2 on it ASAP so you can read those CEL's...cool

I'm out.
