nope. no more delays. my car will be running tomorrow for sure. unless i work all night and get my car done and running tonight. lol.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

My only question is, does it run 10's yet?

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

ok. so last night we got everything together to verify the engine starts but ran into a minor issue. It wouldnt start.
Checked spark and its getting it. so the ignition system is working.
Checked timing and that is still dead on.
Compression was a bit low (90) but this was likely due to a low battery as it was winding down when i did the test. At least there was some compression. :)
No fuel. Made sure there was gas in the car by adding some i had in a gas can. Fuel pump is not turning on. I put 12v to the check wire on the fuel pump and the pump turned on. After 3 i will be getting a MPI relay from Mark to see if that is the issue. In the meantime, its time to fill up the tranny and transfer case and start bleeding the clutch and brakes and get some other minor stuff done. then once she is able to be started hopefully i can take her for a spin.

Good shit dude! She's come a long way.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

So, why would you fill up the tranny and xfercase *after* trying to start it? Lubrication. Do it dude!

Fingers x'd for MPI relay making this thing finally come to life! :D

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

^ doesn't need fluid in the tranny to run. He said START, not RUNNING/DRIVING. :D

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Easiest way to check fuel pump: pull off fuel feed line from rail and see if gas comes out when you turn the key to on.

Hope that MPI relay fixes your issue.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Transmission components are still moving even if the car isn't.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Ugh I just cant believe some of the stuff im seeing on style this week. lol And out of OG's.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

We need a list of the OG's here on style. lol

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Just follow the fail trail.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Check for user id < 500. That should give you a pretty good idea.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

yea it was just to start it, and it didnt. but anyways, transmission and xfer case are filled.

I attached a switch to the pump so that it would come on and i would know its coming on and could feel the fluid going through the lines. But still no gas getting to the pistons.
Is there a fuse for the injectors? or should i be looking at the CAS? I have a spare that i can swap in thankfully.

Tom asked that I post this for him..his car is not firing. Sounds like it's got promise, but no fire, no start. Someone help this fucker get his shit running again.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project
 

Not on a 1G.

So what all has been verified? Do we know that there is spark, compression, and fuel?
