engine swap this past weekend

[spoolie]

so...i spun the #1 main....this ****er screwed me bad on this car...."bucky" in jersey city, NJ....look out...im coming to nyc for vacation soon.

so i didnt have time for a rebuild since this is my daily. so i order a ATK engine with 3 yr unlimited mileage warranty. i tore it down and double checked the work, then installed it. the "birth certificate" shipped with engine was correct.

now the stumble is from 3 bad injectors and not from any sensor or adjustment.

flame on...bash away.

btw...i need a set of "cheap" stock injectors...quick

Let me get this straight. YOU spun #1 main bearing and had 3 bad injectors, and its the previous owners fault?

Lets play the blame game... anybody?

How long have you had it?

3 weeks....the ad said runs perfect, nothing wrong.

since i flew to nyc from nashville...ive replaced the ecu, engine, trans, seat/motor, harness, turbo, many sensors.....

but the car was perfect....whatever. engine started knocking 5 days after i got it...drove it maybe 40 miles total. i was wondering why he didnt want me to test drive it too long.

Then why did u buy it?

You might think about changing out the powermaster accumulator ball, its a factory defective part. It was never replaced under warranty.

Hate to see you blame the last owner when you wreck it because the brakes failed.

Are you sure the injectors are bad? Can you put some air pressure to them one at a time, off the car, and then 12 volts to the 2 pins and see if they open, might just have some crud in them. If they don't flow tap them a little to see if they are stuck.
My car sat for a couple years and mine were stuck ( gas was drained when it was parked ) just put 12 volts to each one and tapped it and they were working again.

when we had the engine apart...3 of them were destroyed on the bottom side. a closer look off the intake shows "vice grip" marks on the back side of them. as i take apart and fix...im finding more and more "hack jobs" done on this car...i just replaced the seat bracket/motors...the dip**** didnt even weld the floorpan mounts in the correct spots, had to redo that.

Looks like you're having a ***K of a time. PM me your name and address and I'll send you my stock injectors, on one condition. If you upgrade someday you send them back to me. I'll ship them out first thing in the morning in a 3 day box to you.
