They did the windshield on my work 2005 F-250 back in the day. The replacement cracked in the corner shortly after the install and they fixed it again, no questions asked. Second one held up for 3-4 years until we got a new truck.

I can't fathom that you can't find a mobile glass shop anywhere.

<p>I haven't even looked. I've been too busy with other stuff. If I can just roll the car out saturday morning, and come back to it with glass on it that would be ideal.</p>

<p>Haha, no that is helpful. I had thought of safelite. Just hadn't had ed call them. He is driving like 12 hours right now and service is spotty, so no clue when he will actually be able to call them.</p>

<p>Are the MSM and 99/00 window switches different? Right now the passenger switch controls the drivers window and the passenger window is stuck trying to go down.</p>

Yeah, don't leave that plugged in, it'll burn out the window motor.

The plug ant the switch are the same but you have to swap 2 wires. Check m.net for articles about retrofitting the NB2 window switch into the NB1. Once you figure out how to get the connectors out of the harness plug post a picture, because I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it without destroying the connector.

<p>Ed picked windows down, so they are staying like that until he gets around to it.</p><p>Don't think the wideband is wired into the car, so no driving tonight. I have the energy/motivation to get this thing started, but not to get a wideband in.</p>

The fuel injector harness clips onto the fuel rail, IIRC. I don't remember if it's supposed to be on top or underneath.

The grounds attach to the top of the intake manifold. They're supposed to go under a bolt that's right next to the throttle body, that hole is stripped out on my car, so I flipped the bracket over and bolted it to the valve cover instead. You can see the bare hole right at the top of this photo though:

That's the ground for all of the electronic systems in the car, BTW, it does very strange things if it's loose.

Its looking like a timing issue. Not sure who timed this engine, but there shouldn't be positive pressure in the intake manifold while cranking.

I did.

Did you hook up the fpr vacuum source? The plastic injector harness cover is usually brittle and destroyed. I ditch them all and zip tie the harness to the rail.

Will try that. But TS is registering maybe 96kpa at min. Goes up to like 106kpa
<br />I'm going to compile a few things to try then head over.
<br />Good news is all spark and coils worked under output test mode.

I've had MS on my miata since 2007 or 2008, never seen positive pressure in the intake manifold while on the starter unless it backfired. That does seem odd to me.

I dunno what timing wheel setup you're running, or what ignition settings. But it's not a stock wheel since there's a ton of teeth showing up in that log. If you can't get it working, the stock timing wheels work perfect if that proves good enough.

Ed is this not a stock wheel? It might be some AEM thing....I'll have to count later.

It's a TSE wheel. 12t I think.

What're those two separate grounds coming forward though? They're supposed to be at the back of the head.

****, I don't think MS supports that.
<br />Guess we need a stock NB wheel. The auction car may have one. It also may have been destroyed. I'll check when I go to my old house.
