Wednesday night i actually started the car and ran it for a minute or two. I haven't put any coolant/water in it yet, but it doesn't appear to be leaking any oil. That's a good start!
It started right up, but then wanted to die. I didn't bother checking Link, because i thought it was all set up on the old car for 1000cc injectors and GM MAF. Well, funny thing is... I dont remember changing anything, but when i checked, it was apparently set for 450's and a stock MAF. Timing and Fuel maps were the same as before, though. So, once i figured out it was flooded as hell, and after a backfire that scared the living sh*t out of my neighbors, i pulled the plugs and cranked it over a bit with the resistor pack and coilpack unplugged (so no fuel or spark). Then i dove into Link, and found my version of V3 was so old, there was no SD option present. I had to update firmware, and my software. Apparently i bought V3 when it FIRST came out and it didnt have the options i needed to be utilizing built-in yet. Once i got the fuel and airflow monitoring set up, it started right away and idled!
I revved it a little bit, but nothing too crazy. I got it somewhat warm, but not up to operating temp. I still want to rewire a couple things in the cabin. Need to clean up the back seat and put it in, clean up the interior (doors and rear deck), and set up some vac lines. When i started it, the BOV wasn't hooked up yet. Once everything else is done, i'll fill it with coolant, and go over pretty much every nut and bolt ONE MORE TIME... then maybe take it for a drive and break the engine in the way it should be!
