Technically this is my second thread so I'm not NEW new but I dont have access to the troubleshooting forum so I'm posting here. I pulled my engine a couple weeks ago to do an engine rebuild, only to find out I didn't need to annyway I am almost done with putting everything back together but there is this one connector I pulled that I can not find where it needs to go home to. It's a 2005 Manuel 6speed, and also if anyone has any thing I should probably know before turning the car on for the first time (like I need to flush oil through the oil coolers) or anything else, PLEASE let me know. Thanks! Im holding the connector in question, its right next to the oil filter
Crank the engine with the ESS speed sensor disconnected or the fuel pump fuse removed to build oil pressure before you start it. Other than that you should be good
Thank you! saved my a**, seriously I was so stumped. I apologize for the lack of a reply until now but good news! I finally got everything put back together and I was able to drive my project car for the first time for a couple days, was running great and finally learned how to drive manual (btw i totally get the love for manuals now, it really does take driving to a whole new level) except for the car tried to hunt for its idle constantly, once the car warmed up and wants to idle at a more efficient level, she would peter out and die without some help with the throttle. I put in a new fuel pump because i eventually got a lean condition code eventually. After that she was running great (still trying to hunt for idle at warmup tho) then the main fuse just decided to jump off a bridge, what concerns me is how i actually blew a main fuse, kinda scary... it started up fine but then suddenly after a pull i noticed the lights on the dash went out and then i think i slowly lost power to the spark plugs aaaand that was it. I haven't started her yet but im hoping it was a fluke? we'll have to see, ill probably get her running tomorrow.. hopefully.
