What have you done to your P5 today?

[mx-p5]

Hey hey now...Ill race you any day (burnout)

Let's put em on the track!!

Also, just to let everyone know, my car is back to normal. Well, as normal as anything I own is.

What happened was, somehow, at some point, somewhere, something made its way inside the motor. Don't know how, even the mechanic is stumped. He pulled it apart and found nothing in the cylinders and no marks or scratches on the block. But, the number 4 spark plug is another story. I have it here, but, I don't have my camera on me tonight. It's been beat to hell!! Whatever was in the motor slammed the sparkplug closed, so, she was firing on only3 cylinders!

So, now that it's back, I'm probably going to cut up the SRI I just put in, cause it runs down dang near a CAI almost at the bottom of the engine bay. I'm gonna run it up closer to the headlight. Also, short shifter should be going in this weekend as well as the tribute washer nozzles.

So, in recap, TWM SS and tribute nozzels go on this weekend, and the motor is good to go!!

The two under the mani are they the ones for the check valve?

Ah, forgot all about the purge solenoid. That definitely helps though. It's weird, the IM I have has two nipples almost right next to each other pointing downward. I guess I can now have more dedicated nipples instead of tee'ing things off so many times. I'm going to have to try to make this look good...

LOL, what check valve - I pretty much got a bare 626 IM. So far I've been able to identify: brake booster source, purge solenoid source, source on top of IM for boost gauge, BPV, etc. but then there are two extra nipples on the rear passenger side about 1" apart that are pointing straight downward. Those are the only things I don't know what to do with. What else uses the IM for a vacuum source?

Bump-started it after my wife (who was, admittedly waiting for me to get done talking to a classmate) turned off the car and left it sitting with the lights on for 5-10 minutes. It seems odd that that little time would have killed the battery, but all it would do was click the relay, no starter action at all.

Fortunately, the parking lot had a really steep driveway out of it, so I just pushed the car around in a circle until it was pointed down hill, got in, let it roll 5 ft and released the clutch. It started right up, I drove it around for a while, and haven't had any trouble starting it again, since.

I may go get the battery/alternator tested anyway, though.

Hey, how are those headlights working out for you by the way? all functioning and everything?

You should also get your headlights and wife tested while you're at it. I have a feeling they're more to blame than the battery. I've been wrong before tho

Washed it and added fuel stablizer in preperation for the 2 months I will be away.

I had my parking lights on with the engine off for less than an hour at a meet, and my car almost didn't start. I figured it was the stock battery saying "replace me!"
