Blowing fusable link ( figured out what it was )

Girald

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.

after a good stir with the engine running, still looks like, oil and not coffee with creamer. I do have some Schaeffer Oil on the way.

After panic swapping my ipmd fuse boxes, i must have missed a fuse in the kick panel since my obd2 is no longer working. i also was one of the first to buy the old school workshop 12 head unit swaps, and of course that means i did a lot of Frankenstein work on my harness, and now its time to update my tablet and the communications to the car. Whole lot of fun to be had there
