After toils and troubles, my Laser finally runs again. Turns out I fried the poopy out of my ECU. Although it still has quite a few problems, the car is now basically driveable, at least enough to get me to work and back. Over, I am VERY pleased to have her back.
HUGE THANKS to KOUIN3 and Xian1G for getting me the parts, Mitsu77 and TurboHcar for helping me out with a shitload of problems she was having, Forcus for dropping the tranny, as well as to JVB and TurboTension for putting up with my carless pooper for the last few weeks! |

Glad to help even though I didn't do a whole lot. Wish I could've done more. Maybe when my leaks are solved we'll have a lil get together between the Laser and my Talon?

On a brighter side, car runs even BETTER now. No longer dies at idle, holds 1000 strong. Still cuts out like a whore stealing your wallet at 5500 though. |

Glad to hear its running
Is your 5500 RPM cut fuel cut? Have you checked for boost leaks or are you running to much boost?

Not bitching though, because at least the car gets me back and forth to work. Thats all I ask right now. |
