I got new glow plugs went to change them out and the first one JUST WON'T COME OUT I'm going to vet some vise grips and beat it out if the block. And uhh.... I fried a 300amp car charger / jumper. Pluged it in all but 1 light got super bright and blew. Well alright then. Maby tomarrow I'll drain the diesel out of it and put fresh in it... Urg. TOMARROW...... Maybe. On the bright side the engine is not froze. [editline]14th December 2013[/editline] Stupid ass day today / yesterday. Soooo w.e Fuck all the shit. DROP THE ONE TOOL YOY NEED IN THE CROSS MEMBER AND TAKES 10 MIN JUST TO GET IT OUT MULTIPUL TIMES WITHIN THE SQME HOUR? CURSE EVERY FUCKING THING THAT MOVES. [editline]14th December 2013[/editline] Don't mind me just on a phone that hates spelling shit right when I type it corectly.
Coil pack 1 on the roomies Maxima ate shit today and freak out his gf, she though the trans blew or something. It was low on fluid but that really hadn't contributed to the issue. Knock sensor is shitting out and so is the ignition key tumbler, it's sloppy and causing no starts because it's not engaging. Well at least those are easy fixes. Cept the CV axle is clicking and thats gonna take the most effort. Yay...

[QUOTE=Scientwist;43195474]To me, that looks to perfect to be by accident, but I'm paranoid like that. ~Precision Puncture™[/QUOTE] I had been driving about 50 miles when I picked it up. Heard it almost instantly, I pulley to the left to get into the turnin lane and thump thump thump it went.
[QUOTE=thattaco;43196452]I had been driving about 50 miles when I picked it up. Heard it almost instantly, I pulley to the left to get into the turnin lane and thump thump thump it went.[/QUOTE] That sounds almost ass bad when my dad picked up a trailer hitch lock. The part that hooks to the lever on the hitch it's self, it must've broke off in an accident at some point. The tire went flat almost immediately.
And success, ran from 8:30 - 7:00 then 7-10 Today from 8:45 to about 10:30 It all works, test drove it for a good 5 miles and everything, alive and well. I'll have pictures tomorrow, I was too exhausted to clean and put back together my interior. Also I ground 3rd a little on a quick 2-3 but let's not talk about that.
Can you even light that diesel fuel with an open flame?
A regular flame is too cold I think.
Diesel doesn't/shouldn't ignite with an open flame, iirc. Diesel engines compress the fuel until it goes bang.
[QUOTE=Valon Kyre;43198558]Can you even light that diesel fuel with an open flame?[/QUOTE] I told my boss he could run it in his torpedo heater if he wanted to. It never ignited. I belive water plauged it.
that's why diesels are so cool there's no spark just heat and pressure grubgrubgrubgrubgrubgrubgrubgrub
But if you have 40year old car that won't fire you have to dig past all the shit to get the head off and attempt to see what condition the rings are in.
psh details
[QUOTE=Del91;43198624]Diesel doesn't/shouldn't ignite with an open flame, iirc. Diesel engines compress the fuel until it goes bang.[/QUOTE] You don't compress the fuel, you compress the air until it gets so hot that it the diesel that's injected ignites.
My EGR or the solenoid for it broke on my S13. Damn it man, throwing a CEL on a rebuilt motor made me panic a bit
So bad news.... I found out it is in fact worn syncros in 3rd gear, if I go too fast from 2-3 at high revs like above 4500, it will grind for a split second every once in awhile. I hope it goes away and it is just the transmisson being stupid. It has been sitting since 1999. Also I lost my wheel lock key somewhere. Took it for a drive again to get the exhaust hangar fixed then took it to pick up my alternator I just got rebuilt. During that time, it only ground for a split second once going 4 to 3 Otherwise, I learned with this trans unlike the other manuals I drove, don't jam it into 3rd gear quickly, take your time.
More shitty car news... Yesterday I replaced cylinder 1s coil pack on the roomies maxima and still wasn't getting it to fire. Come to find out today that the injector is bad possibly, so ow I gotta pull the intake off merely to get to it then I gotta test it to make sure its bad. wadafukyo Why for Nissan not make it so the ECU tells you this shit?
