I cant figure out why. This is my 91 R/T TT.
All battery funtions work, and the car turns over but it wont fire. The only thing i did was remove a lot of intercooler piping, which i replaced it all and clamped it tightly. I cant imagine anything that i would have removed that would cause it not to start. If anyone can think of anything, suggestions, or even have free time to take a look, it'd help a whole lot. thanks.

well i made sure it was in there tight, still no start.
the only things i did was:
removed IC piping
removed turbo/intake piping
removed radiator
and then of course replaced it all back. Not sure what I did, but as far as i can see nothing looks out of place... any other ideas? or anything i can post to help?

Have you checked all your fuses, bothe under hood and inside? SJ _________________ Racing is life. Everything else is just waiting. http://umg.mn3s.orghttp://ummo.boards.net

Stranger things have happened. Maybe when you plugged it back in. Wouldn't hurt to give them a once-over. If one of the two ECU fuses blew, that would explain it. SJ _________________ Racing is life.

Double check your connections. They should be so tight, you won't be able to tug them off by hand.

engine fuse, it wasnt blown, but the genious who owned the car before me decided it would be a good idea to wire all his sound stuff to that fuse. so when i was working on pulling all the leftover wiring out, i pulled out that makeshift fuse. the extra bulk widened the contacts in the fusebox so the fuse wasnt cleanly connecting. So i took some extra strips of metal and wedged it around the fuse tightly, and it started right up.
thanks again, i would have been totally lost.
