I re-flashed the computer last week and fired it up to test the computer. It ran rough, and when I plugged in the laptop it showed an injector circuit fault. I’ve had exactly the same fault before when a fuse went on the Camaro, so I got all the fuses out one by one and tested them but none were gone. I had the dash back off again and checked the plugs were seated into the computer properly, still the same problem. After a load more checking and double checking I found a loose injector plug. What a pain in the ass. With the dash back in again, and no faults showing, I took it round the block for a test drive. The brakes were poor, so I took it easy. On the industrial estate at the back of the house it got a long enough run to shift up to 3rd, or it would have if it didnt slip and go nowhere when it came out of 2nd. <\/p>\n

On Saturday I had a big tidy up and put all my tools in the new toolbox I got off ebay. It’s on wheels, so Tommy had to do a few laps of the house sat on top of it first. It’s nice to have everything in one place for the first time. On Sunday I got the car up on stands to get at the gearbox wiring, and tested the 2-3 shift solenoid circuit wires. Nothing wrong, so I put the extra pin in the plug for the PWM clutch while I was in there, plugged it all back in and tested it again. Sadly it’s exactly the same, so I guess it’s a gearbox rebuild coming up. While I was under there I also put the padded P clips on the battery cable and called it quits. <\/p>\n
