Thumbs up FINALLY!!!!!!! MY CAR IS FIXED! (I just may be a Gen I electrical Guru now)

Yesterday was a good day as I finally heard my car start once again since mid December. Turns out, it was the computer (PCM). Of course I had to be sure and follow through with some good ol' de-bugging before spending money on a computer so the pics below will show some of what I did.

First, I thought it was fuel pump related, so tore into the gas tank and started checking wires, ordered some parts, etc...

Then, I realized the problem was electrical and not my fuel pump. So the volt meter, test light and major wiring harness came out.

Finally, all the testing showed it had to be a bad PCM, so Chuck Tator sent me one and the car started. YAY!

I also found a potential water leak so fixed that and ran all of my wires form my shift light and VEC I, in a more professional manor, so I took care of a few things during this process. It took me so long to finish this, because I didn't really want to be out in the cold working on the car. Lately, the Texas weather has been nice so I REALLY got intimate with my car. As always, projects like this are a HUGE learning experience and I'm always glad I did the work myself. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND TIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next, I'll be fixing my tranny slave cylinder leak!!!
