Project car won't start. Will we finally hear it run?
Buckle up, gearheads! Join me on an adrenaline-fueled journey as I tackle the challenges of bringing my 1991 Mustang GT back to life in this thrilling YouTube video. In this episode, I dive deep into the heart of my project, wrestling with electrical demons that kept my pony from galloping. From hooking up the ECU to chasing down elusive wiring issues, watch as I troubleshoot, problem-solve, and turn setbacks into triumphs. The struggle is real as I replace the solenoid, positive battery cable, and even the ignition switch (twice!) to get the key engaging the starter. But the adventure doesn't stop there - no spark and a silent fuel pump lead me down a maze of diagnostics. With the help of my trusty sidekick Ed, we unravel the mystery, discovering a grounded wire in the engine harness that was hindering the ECU power. Join my son Ben and me as we meticulously fine-tune the engine, ensuring precise timing and finding top dead center in #1 cylinder. The anticipation builds, leading to the electrifying moment when we turn the key, and the dormant Mustang roars back to life after 8 months of uncertainty. This video isn't just about fixing a car; it's a rollercoaster of emotions, a testament to perseverance, and the sweet satisfaction of witnessing a passion project triumph against all odds. Grab your wrenches and join the ride – the Mustang is alive, and the roar is louder than ever!
