- General Update: Have been driving the car for a month now, here’s how it’s gone. Mostly good, with the exception of 1 breakdown…the car sprung a coolant leak on the way back from the alignment shop and required a tow. It was the upper radiator hose, which is a pain to get to, but I got it fixed and the car was back driving around the same day (good because it was my only car in ATL).
- Ongoing Work
- Installed oil temp and oil pressure gauges in preparation for some track driving later this year. My engine thankfully already had the adapter on the oil cooler which made my job easier. I also had the foresight a year or so ago to run 2 extra wires between the dash and engine bay which worked perfectly to run to the gauges.
- Still diagnosing my ABS issues. I replaced the control module, but not the pump. The issue continues…so verdict is the pump is bad. I forgot to double check the fuses were still good as the last setup was blowing the ABS fuse. Assuming the fuse is not blown, then I will probably have to buy a new ABS pump to install.
- Found out my fuel gauge’s lowest reading is a little under 1/4 tank…engine cut out as I pulled into the gas station and I had to coast to the pump.
