Since getting it back I haven't had the opportunity to do any driving, I have season tickets to ECU football and went to 1 away game. But on Saturday the local LC club is doing a drive I want to participate in. I am going to plan on driving about 1 hour each night when I get home to build my...

They think an extended air pocket in the fuel line. They said right after they put even more fuel in it, it started right up. He laughed and said if I tried 1 more time the fuel pump probably would have pushed that air out and I would have been in business. But I love this wild concept of it...

Picked it up this morning went for a quick test drive with the mechanic. It fired right up and ran beautifully. I wish I had time to drive it around more. But I'll be playing with it a lot now.

It must have been pretty simple. The shop called me first thing this morning. Because I work an hour and a half away, it's been a very long time since I've been to the shop in person. They asked me to come in person and they want to show me some tricks with getting it to crank up. So they agreed...

I have a house just south of Gallatin Gateway which will be going up for sale sometime next year. :)

@knuckle47 Fingers crossed. @Almill13 Fuel pump would be my next guess too. Thankfully they're relatively cheap and easy to replace. I don't know exactly what they did with the fuel tank. The invoice just reads drain, drop and clean gas tank. I can say the outside is nice and clean. :) I was...

Got this message from the shop this afternoon. I don't get off work in time to pick it up so I asked my wife to go pay and pick up the key. Over the phone they told me after they drained the gas tank, cleaned it, changed the fuel filter, etc. They only put a little gas in it and they did a...

Since I had it towed to my favorite local shop ( the head mechanic drives a sweet 80 series) I had them install the new DUI. I asked them to give it a good once over and they installed some new gaskets on the carb cleaned it and tuned it, replaced the fuel filter, and replaced one of the hoses...

My DUI coil failed at about 30 Mikes after install. Summit Racing replaced it quickly no questions asked, Although I included a PDF of the email between my mechanic and me where he told me it was a faulty coil.

The stereo the PO installed didn't work so I ripped it out and I just bought a single DIN storage box. I'm still toying with getting the USB port wired. The lighter wasn't getting power and I stopped looking for the reason. I'm putting in a secondary fuse box for the charger and the fog lights...

Good looking LC! That will probably be one of my next things to replace the suspension.

I have been a little while since I've done anything with my GX. In April I got my FJ40 and have been spending a lot of time playing with it. But I am going to get back to getting things done on the GX. Since I got it I've wanted to get the headlights done. So I bought the CERAKOTE Ceramic...

I'll be trying again this weekend. I will say, Summit Racing was very fast to respond and have already shipped a new DUI which I will have tomorrow. No questions asked, but I did attach the email chain between the mechanic and me where he diagnosed the burnt out coil. This should go pretty...

I'm just relieved it doesn't seem to be anything I did. I've been really stretching my mechanical abilities - so I can learn, and it can be a bit scary...

I checked as much as I knew how to before my first start. I've been documenting what I've done pretty well for future reference and learning. But I did not test the voltage while running. With the ignition in the on position I got 12.6 volts to the DUI, and with it in the crank position I got...
