Blowing fusable link ( figured out what it was )

Girald · 11-18-2024, 02:12 AM

So the fusible link was popping and the car wasn't starting... after some trouble shooting, i figured out it was the starter motor...

The plastic connector on the starter motor had shattered and also was grounding on the chassis.. Turns out, that plastic connector piece doesn't play well with the drivers side turbo (AAM kiT)

Got it started yesterday after a year of sitting (too many projects). surprised the fuel left in the lines lit up. going to have to flush it with some e85 and hope there's no injector clogs.

Good luck with the flushing and the injectors. Might need new oil as well.
