Senna's Trueno

Damm you ivan, you always seem to beat me at posting here!
here's the story:

Yesterday i went to Robokill to get an igniter/bobine, since mine was roasted by the fire. I returned home at midnight, but couldn't help to try it. Because it was dark i messed up the lengt (order) of the spark-plugs-cables, i heared a bang, and got a cloud of smoke. After that,. i unscrewed a spark plug, and to my delight, i actualy saw a nice spark comming from it. No real harm done i thought. After that i went to bed thinking about what to do tomorrow. I talked to Ivan over msn, and we decided to give it another try.

He named some car-parts i didn't know, and possible solutions for the problem, so I grabbed my phone, and walked to the car. We talked a bit, and he gave me some instructions, i tried them, and still no luck. By then i got the order of the spark-plug-cables right. Ivan told me to unscrew a spark plug, and see how it would look. The plug was kinda wet, so Ivan suggested the engine drowned itself. Then i remebered a little trick i used to do with my rx7 to empty the chambers if i had trouble starting it. After removing the Efi fuse (so that no new fuel would come into the chamber), i started for quite some time while stepping on the gas pedal.
I put the fuse back again, and tried to start the car through the open window. the enige gave a GROWL, and died a second later. I stepped into the car and started it again. Without too much trouble the engine gave another growl, and this time i was ready for it. I stepped on the gas, and kept it alive. After a while i released the gas, and the engine slowly dropped back to a comfortable 1000rpm. We were so happy!
After Ivan hung up, i gave the whole neighbourhood a concert by playing with the gas for a while.

Guess who's back!


Now it starts like a charm again.

Here's a small list of two people that earned my deepest respect and gratitude during my trails:

Ivan141, without your endless patience (10hours of wiring loom!!) half a dozen visites, and bright ideas, none of this would have ever happened!

Robokill, without your efforts in the beginning (including 2 longs nights of work), i would have sold this car for sure, i was desperate. Combined with your generous offer to supply me with another bobine/igniter, things got real again.


guy's i owe you!
