Nope.. Checked some more shit after talking to Dustin, but until I get that scanner I am pretty much stuck.. I have not a single clue...

Man Larry i really hope you get it figured out bud...im prayin for ya...Not to bring up a sore subject but with all the problems i see with the OBD2 cars it kinda makes me glad my OBD1 does like have the job...less shit to f*ck up...i even found out upon my 97+ dash swap that someone had previously done away with my Vats lol. But i dred the day when i have an electrical problem...but im sure it will still run...currently running off two bad o2's and she seems to still be running fine.

Hopefully, someday, soon..

On the battery side of things, when you put it back to the back, make sure she's grounded real good to the frame (larger ground strap(s)). The load put on the battery to start, given the longer wire makes a very hard hit to the battery with a run of the mill kind of ground. Had a friend that has nothing but trouble with his same mod, till he put in actually a few grounds. On the engine side, the only thing that would throw a caution flag is all the taping. Hopefully everything is soldered/shrink wrapped (I wouldn't expect less, just putting it out there).

Battery is back in stock location with stock wiring.. Until I get the problem figured out I am leaving it there.. I know there is a ground issue with the relocation setup and I will address it after it runs again...

Dustin(Alwaysmessedup) stopped by today.. We hooked up the scanner I borrowed and it showed no data.. Eventually we got some data, MAP was reading 27.7 with the key on engine off(Dustin couldn't recall for sure, but he thought that number should be much higher). Started car, MAP never changed(stayed at 27.7) and MAF read nothing, nor did the O2's.. Pretty sure I have a bad ground and that it is behind the intake. Reason being, the car ran fine before I pulled the intake. Thinking I must of unhooked or broke a ground and missed it when I re-installed intake.. Guess I will wait for it to get warm again and pull the intake and see what I find..

maybe if you use a mirror you could find or see a loose grd wire.

Some sensors won't read anything until the engine goes into closed loop. Depending on how long it ran for, it could have just been in open loop.

I'll give it a shot..

Still lean to bad ground as my battery relocation also quit working after I had the intake off.. No power to the front, which leads me back to a bad ground..

i dont recall any grounds on or behind the intake except for those bolted to the back of the heads. guess you could have broke one or pulled the wire out but i doubt it. hopefully you will find time soon to take it back out and take a look. good luck. i think its about time to invest in a heater for the garage

Well I know there is one on the drivers side head, which runs to the harness and splices on with the PCM ground.. Not sure what else is back there.. All I know is the car ran fine, until I pulled the intake for paint(battery relocation was also fine until I pulled the intake). Which leads me to believe, I broke or disconnected something back there... I still remember disconnecting something and saying to myself "must remember to plug this back in". I'm thinking I forgot, but for the life of me can't remember what it was.. Lost too many brain cells in the 70's...

It has to be something stupid and we're all gonna go "yup, that would do it" when you figure it out. Rip that intake off already!!!
