So I finally got around to solving my starter issue from a week ago, and I was able to start the car and drive it around the block in limp mode. Currently I have the clutch switch bypassed, and I hope to resolve it in the future with the correct switch and wiring upgrade. The two big issues, Currently, I have no booster power to brakes and the speedometer isn’t working, the reverse lights work, so hey 1/3 connections work...
I put a new tandem pump in while the car was apart, so I need to verify that I hooked up all the hoses up correctly around the pump. The car is ideling good, so I’m pretty sure I have the fuel side of the pump working, but now I need to
Double check the vacuum hoseses to the brake booster.
The real booger to solve is the speedometer. I didn’t change anything on the speed sensor harness between the auto and manual trans. The manual trans that I received from Frans had no speed sensor installed , but came with a simple plug that I assumed was for shipping only. I removed the shipping plug, installed the speed sensor from the auto tranny into the FHN manual, installed the plug, and double checked that it was clipped in all the way. I pulled it apart after a short test drive and inspected the terminals and the plug and couldn’t figure out anything amiss.
Can anyone else think of something else I could have disrupted that would cause the speedo to not work? Odometer isnt working either, so I doubt it’s the cluster. The Ecu tranny omit was done by Malone, and I’m pretty sure that’s not likely the issue. Tomorrow I’ll try to hook the car up to a my old laptop that can run my old serial port vagcom and see if that gives me any indications, but I’m trying to think of other things I could have flubbed while the tranny was out.
Thanks in advance!
