Made quite a bit of progress today. Got my clutch bled & my brakes. Installed my new early bumpers (Thanks Oscar). Got all my fluids in & almost everything connected. I've got some adjusting to do on my shifter cables. Missing one of the cool little dbl sided female that connects 2 bolts. Not sure I'll find one locally. It's for one of shifter cables on the Zero Decibals bell crank shift linkage.

I also need to order a new throttle cable. In filling up my radiator. I found I've got a water leak somewhere at the motor. Dripping down around the water pump. Got it back down on all 4's before I noticed. Been a long day so I didn't feel like jacking it back up so I could figure out for sure where the hell the leak is. I'm sure missing my lift.

Beside the water leak I am ready to start my car for the first time in damn near 3 years. I gotta admit I could go down & try tonight. I am absolutely terrified to do it though. So I'm putting it off until tomorrow afternoon

All worth the wait. You’ll see when you drive it. It looks great Jamie. Crank that sucker up!

Btw you need to add a “t” to that 2.5 badge.

Hey Jamie BTW did you end up using that Renault Alpine rad? If so it would be great to see some pics when you get a chance.

I haven't done anything with that yet Chris. MY current setup works & as intrigued as I am with finding a smaller setup. I'm not screwing with it until winter

Okay I went down to try & fire it up. First I turned it over a few times without my fuel pump connected to get the oil flowing a bit through the motor. Then hooked up the fuel pump to give it a try. Turned the key a few times to cycle the pump without turning it over. Then went for it & turned it over. It did not start or even cough. Just turned over. I only tried it a few times. Tonight wasn't my night to work on it. So didn't go through to check for spark or fuel. I'll get back to it another day this week. Wish the news was better but i'm glad it isn't worse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Well at least you tried. You'll figure it out. It's usually something simple.

It does turn over well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) gotta consider the positives.

Fresh gas?

A couple things to check in no particular order... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

See what codes the OBDII is telling you.

The Vehicle Anti Theft System may need to be bypassed or disabled.

Some cars have collision systems that disable the fuel pump.

Check for spark.

Hot wire the fuel pump (add an inline fuse so all your hard work doesn't go up in smoke).

Spray some carb cleaner in the intake. (avoid the MAF) Maybe a vacuum line on the engine side of the MAF.

That's all I got for now. Hope this doesn't send you off in the wrong direction.

Sorry, I don't know your troubleshooting skills. So you're probably staying up at night diagnosing your no start.

Well, I just watched the no start video. Was that the fuel pump I heard clicking?

i think I would start with spark.

If you're getting spark, then I would look at finding a way to spray some carb cleaner in a vacuum port on the intake. If it tries to start even a bit, then look at fuel delivery.

Maybe 4 gallons isn't enough for the fuel pump to pick it up?
Internal or external pump?

What's that clicking when you turn the key? Also, can you hear the fuel pump?
