Start tracing wires and unhooking them. Then throw all that bullshit in the trash and start from scratch.

that's also one of the stupidest places to put an alarm.

Even the less unfortunate ones that don't have none.

Yaaaaa bro totally, I got the car like that with the Viper paging alarm system awhile back. I guess it's done it's job and time to retire. So, I just removed that whole POS and now I'm looking for another paging alarm system.

I fixed it.


I changed the oil immediately after this.

Then I gave it a once-over before letting it cool.


Checked the oil level this morning.. Was perfect.

Holy ****, W95. You got your car running? Gratz.

Replaced my Distributor Cap and Rotor and my plug wires.

Discovered I had a fuel leak and that all my lines under the car are rotted to hell. Currently looking to purchase the three fuel lines and two brake lines that run under the car. 6th gen Civic hatch or Coupe. Three of the 5 lines from a sedan work, too. If you've got them and are in the Midwest, let me know.

the alarm isn't the problem. it's the install.

if you'd like more info, PM me. I've done a few stealth installs and I'm willing to share a little information on how it's done.

The price just went up lol.

Proof:




Now. If I can just smooth out this idle, and get to why it now seems hard spark is due to spark, as evidenced by not being affected by a starting fluid, yet starting after 10 seconds or so..

I just ran into one of my former co-worker homies, and they:

1. (Seem to have) FIXED THE IDLE. IACV electrical connector was not plugged in...

2. Told me my "Distributor was too far advanced," told me how to adjust it, demonstrated by letting me hear a "pop" sound when revving, told me that I should adjust it soon because it can damage the motor.

Nice...

THE only thing keeping me from doing that right now is that it is dark outside.

? Distributor timing/base timing. And seeing what the computer does, as I realized I never un-jumped or un-shorted the connector to read the OBD1 codes - I left it in.

Results later.

Runs alright. I need a proper overflow bottle maybe let it cool and bleed it right too but it's running good.. is it absolutely perfect? Nox typewriter sound may be the valve situation but very good..
