Engine swapping help!!

Ok leadway!!!! Just installed my tps sensor after a heavy fight with the car it starts! If the cam was f***ed wouldnt have even ran lol It ran for 2 mins then shut off tho but my spark plugs still have fuel in them like sh** so ima buy new plugs autolite 104's today and grab a fuel pressure regulator because I think that will solve my fuel issue hopefully then a mail order zzp tune for the cam coming this week gotitforcheap the rack is scheduled for friday for me to finish I got some jack stands so It should be good now hopefully

Did you check out the engine temp sensor and the wiring to it?

No I havent.. that could be a reason why the car won't start

if you can start and run the car with your foot on the throttle then none of what you are changing is gonna fix it.

have you not checked the IAC ? take it out see if its dirty and or replace it.

the coolant temp sensor won't keep it from starting. it will just make the car run in open loop

Have you not checked the Maf yet?
I've got one I can send you to test it with if need be. You just have to send it back or buy it. Lol

Any suggestions? Could I use header wrap? Band clamps aren't working smoke is coming out of the crossover

id try loads of copper rtv, then a band clamp. then say a short prayer.

Lol thanks i'll try that along with header wrap other than that I just need to change oil and fill coolant and the car is ready to roll!!

2.25" band clamp. Run it on with a impact

You could just fix it the right way. lol

And what's the right way? Lol

Sub'd to keep track of this one...damn 97s...

Take the headers off and have a V-band welded on there so you don't ever have to worry about it again. It's going to be a ***** to take them both off again though.

You could also try to use a torctite clamp but you would have to cut one side. I can't tell how big of the curve is there from the picture so it might not work.
