Thanks for your reply!
We got it running, but not good. The oil sending unit was bad which we found out by accident. We started looking for bad grounds and pulled the plug to the sending unit. When we turned the motor over to test it, it ran. We replaced it. I got ahold of a good computer scanner and tried that and it would pop some codes, sometimes. I replaced the ECM and we got a temp sensor code and IAC code. We replaced the temp sensor on the block and it didn't change anything. There is another temp sensor on the radaitor, not sure if that one is just for the electric fans or not, but it has three wires (fans are on a toggle switch)
As for the IAC code the sensor has been removed (the car ran fine without it before) I'm thinking about re-installing it.
Right now the car doesn't have any power until you get the rpm's up. When we ran it before you could hit the rev limiter in first, but when we went to second it was like shifting a manual transmission from 1st to 3rd, no power and took a long time to get to 4000 rpm's and it wouldn't go any higher. I haven't had a chance to get it out and run (other than 100 feet) it since we changed temp sensor and put the new computer in. We'll see what happens. We have another race saturday and it would be nice to get it running right.
This is a fun class. The cars have to be American made, front wheel drive, nothing over a 3.8 motor. There are 2 people in the car, the driver steers and runs the brake, the passenger runs the gas.
The 30+ psi reading was because the fuel pressure gauge leaked where the guage and hose hooked up. I got a better one and with the car at an idle we had 35 psi and with it reved up we had 41 psi of pressure.
This electrical stuff can drive a person up a wall!!!
Thanks again for the help.
