    Does this mean this thread will no longer be bumped daily? It hasn't gone away since I first joined whoretex back in 2004 ish.

    Let's celebrate.

    I'm there. You just can't see me. Look for those little sparkly bits floating around in your trans oil.

    Update:
    Picked up the ECU from kenny (thank you), installed door pins, cleaned the spark plugs, fixed the ground wire for the oxygen sensor, clean and fixed the coil wire, and installed the ecu.
    Car took a minute and came back to life, but come to find out due to the previous ECU causing the injectors to stay on constantly it dumped alot of gas which got into the oil. So now, I am going to be changing the oil and the oil filter next weekend. So besides the oil change, I have to clean the wiring inside the car, replace the dash bezel, reinstall the lower dash, replace the lisc plate tub in back and then take the car to get smogged.
    Here is the pictures from today and the one of the quick fixs to get the car running again.

    Update:
    Oil is drained by a club member of sacwater. Have new oil and oil filter for the car that will be going on in the next couple of days with the help from one of the sacwater club members. But still can't drive the car for about a month.

    Today with the help of Kyle again. Drain plug installed with new washer, installed the fuse box plastic clips to hold it in place, temporary fix one of the spark plug wires, put new oil in and fired the car up. The car needs lifters, find out exactly where the exhaust leak is, adjust the idle, replace the spark plugs, replace the spark plug wires and reinstall the lower dash.

    In about a month, the car will be back on the road after some work and parts replaced.

    Started the car up again and let it run for a little bit. Changed the wheels, only could put on three and had to put a spare on where the fourth would be. Still have to get the fourth wheel repaired. Still need to clean up some more wires underneath the dash, reinstall the lower dash, get some clips for the outside trim, replace the valve cover gasket, replace the spark plug wires, wash it and then smog it.
    Here is with the other wheels on the car.
