Perkul8r's 91 Galant VR4 1055/2000

The pods are getting cheap man. I know I overpaid when I bought these ones, but I was desperate and nobody else had any for sale. And honestly for the time being the piece that the gauges are in is just hot glued to the pod. I was mainly doing that cause I wasn't even sure if it would fit so I didn't want to make it permanent.

Well, got the transfer case shaft switched out today. Dam that was easy. I was thinking it would be a hard job, but nope.

Also got the car mostly back together. Found some wiring connectors that were messed up so went to the junk yard and got some new ones. Should be able to get it back and running tomorrow as long as the weather holds out. 80% chance of rain tomorrow. Here's hoping they lied about the weather report.

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner about the transfer case, I've been busy with school and everything. Good to see that you got the shafts swapped out. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Good luck getting it running.

Nice gauge setup up! Keep up the work.

Its cool man. I asked you about the transfer case before I even read about it. I know things are crazy right now with school. Seems like everyone is having a hell of a week so far. lol

So. It runs!! Trans shifts great, and the extended slave rod helped the clutch engagement. Now I only have two things to figure one.

First off, when coming to a stop the car will idle down pretty far, around 500 rpm if I am reading my tach right, and the oil light comes on. but if i bring the rpms up just a little it goes away.

Second, the ignition switch is messed up so i need to find a new one.

Otherwise I am happy with it. And on only 6psi of boost on the 16G feels good.

Glad to hear that it runs and that the tranny is working well for you. I guess my Galant will live vicariously through yours for the next couple years.

As for your idle issue, I would try messing with the BISS screw on the throttle body. You will have to put the car in timing mode in order to do this properly. Once it's in timing mode, then you can try turning it counter-clockwise a few turns to see if that helps with the idle and oil pressure.

Not much of an update. Just a pic. I got bored on the way home and decided to see how high the river was here seems as how they have been releasing alot of water from the lakes around here. And well. Its pretty high. lol

Anyway, Hopefully It will stop raining so I can continue checking things out on the car. Just waiting for my data logger setup to get here so I can see what the car is doing. And hopefully that will help me solve some issues.

[Perkul8r]

So got my data logger and found some issues. WHich I am taking care of. Got another TPS coming. That was the major thing. Probably wont get much time to work on the car in the next couple days/weeks. Been helping friends and others sandbag and prepare for this flood were are having. Its been pretty epic. They are saying its a 100 year flood. And that water can remain at that level till august. So....I might look at relocating to a different town. Just not sure where yet.

BUt, hopefully I will be able to still get some things done with the car. I am forseeing alot of downtime at work which will give me time to sort things out.
