Bitesize Has A New 3gee!!!

[BITESIZE]

Page 5 - Main pictures of car and engine bay.



Pictures are dark since it's going to rain.

$1,150 later. It doesn't run, but I'll figure it out. I think the starter is dying or the fuel pump is dying, it doesn't turn over very well. It has a new battery too.

This is the cleanest 3gee I have ever seen in person! By far!! The inside is the brownish color and is mint! The drivers side door handle doesn't work too well, but I'll replace it.
This automatic 88 lxi has no dents anywhere. It needs a new hood, front bumper, front turn signal and headlight cover - but I have all that shit brand new in my garage from the hatchback!

I have a sunroof and power locks now - kickass!!!! I love this car and it won't even start yet!

Oh, and I had to just throw my rims on very first after I got the car home. lol

It looks like someone ran it up a curb on the drivers side underneath, so I will have to pull that out.

[BITESIZE]

Heres my plan:
Get the car to start.
Fix door handle.
Put my cd player in it.
Clean the interior and exterior.
Install my headlights (ended my ebay auction)

[oldschool3g]

cool man sounds like a good start to me

[BITESIZE]

Then I'll do the front end with my new hood, bumper etc.

[oldschool3g]

your keeping it white right?

[ghettogeddy]

a lil much for a none runner but its clean or at least has the potential to be clean

[russiankid]

Looks good, some TLC and its a keeper!

BTW pull the starter from your other engine.

[BITESIZE]

Ok, it's not getting any fuel. I undid the fuel line bolt on the engine and bone dry. I then pull the bolt from the fuel line on the fuel pump and bone dry. Fuel pump dead? Main relay dead?

[ghettogeddy]

pull the pump and test it

[BITESIZE]

pull the pump and test it

Just hook it to 12 volts and it should run right?

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Dang that didn't take long. hopefully you get it up and running soon.

[frantik]

w00t.. nice 4x4 nah looks good just needs a lil TLC which you're already planning haha

oh and the interior should be maroon/burgundy not poo brown....

[BITESIZE]

Fuel pump seems to be working, i took it out and hooked it up to the battery. The fuel rail is bone dry. Could it be the main relay or fuel filter?

Just hook it to 12 volts and it should run right?

yes but you dont have to pull it out. but if you cant hear the main relay clicking, then its most likely the relay.

if you have a voltmeter you can connect it to the fuel pump connector so you can watch it while you turn the igntion on. should read 12v for a couple of seconds. If it doesnt you need to fix your main relay, either that or the wire going from the relay to the pump is open somewhere. It's not the fuel filter.

[BITESIZE]

I can hear the main relay clicking in the left hand side of the dash. Do you think the timing could be off a little.

[thegreatdane]

I doubt thats your problem. If your fuel pump doesnt run then that's your problem. TRy the voltmeter at the pump connector.

[ghettogeddy]

did you check to see if the pump is pumping try disconnecting the line a run it into a bucket and turn it over a few timers to see if your getting anything also have someone stand buy it to see if its turning on while you turning it over then check your fuses you might have a blown fuse

[BITESIZE]

When I took the fuel pump out, it was pumping fuel. I'll try the voltmeter thing tomorrow. Well, I'm going to call it a night. I think I'll try pouring some gas into the spark plug holes and try starting it tomorrow. It's getting cold and dark outside. It's going to storm tonight.

[ghettogeddy]

ya but you were testing it from a separate power source you need to know its runnign in the car lol
