Thanks @gotovato yeah I was pretty beside myself. I was like "...how is this possible?! I re-attached everything and just returned the car to stock, why won't it crank!?" Well, it turns out when all the wires aren't connected it throws a bit of a temper tantrum hahaha. Now the get the clunk...

WELP. Wanted to bring some closure to this thread. I got down and checked the harness in the passenger footwell and it turns out I had just done a poor job re-attaching two factory wires together. There is a grey/black wire that is a clutch signal switch that was severed and run through the...

@nekret Yeah that was my thought too. I've inspected them all on multiple occasions and they all still look and feel intact. There was only one that was completely cut and re-routed through the relay in the harness, but I clipped that out and reconnected the wire back to itself in the factory...

@gotovato yeah the more i google, the more i want to agree with you. it looks like the smaller white plugs could've gone to an alarm/remote start module of some kind, but they are definitely not present in the car anywhere. i just gave them a quick check, but all of the wires on the car...

@gotovato you think so? even though there is nothing near the steering wheel or ignition whatsoever? all of this stuff is located in the passenger footwell behind the kickpanel where the passengers right foot would sit.

So today I was installing a new amp for my door speakers. During which, I noticed an enormous bundle of wires hacked into the passenger footwell wiring harness with these t-junction things...I noticed that the other side of this rats nest wasn't connected to anything, it was just tucked up away...

Yo! Just about to do my first oil change post engine break in after a rebuild and I had a question about oil capacity because I am finding some conflicting information online. Balance shaft delete. Spin on oil filter conversion. So WHAT is the oil capacity on this car with those two mods? Or...

Nice. I'm hoping the new cap will take care of that gross evap leak code. And I just pulled the EGR off, I *thought* I cleaned it out during the rebuild but apparently not. It was disgusting so I cleaned it out but I just decided to go with the full EGR delete anyways. I'm in Arizona so I...

Actually another question, did you throw any codes when you were having the problem? I noticed a few p04xx codes around the time I started noticing the smell. Right now I am getting P0441 and P0401, wondering whether or not they are related!

Hah! @Sho I just popped in here to post these. Found this this morning!

@Jimme T @Sho sorry to leave you guys hanging for a bit, i didn't get any notifications that there were responses here. My buddy is in town right now so while were in the car I pulled over, popped the back seat off, and had him smell/look at the fuel pump while driving (under load) and the...

Recently finished a rebuild and now I am trying to hunt down a raw fuel smell when I am accelerating. I had a friend sit in the car and rev the engine for a few minutes while we were at my house and couldn't see any leaks under the hood, nor could I smell any fuel whatsoever. Then we took it...

Yo! @nekret Yeah it definitely was. It ended up being that I was missing a little o-ring between this central intake vacuum piece that hides underneath the intercooler. What I did was fashioned a little piece of vacuum hose that I squished in there and it resolved every problem I was having and...

So I’m pretty sure that nipple I shared a picture of had an o ring or something that belonged between it and the intake. I just fashioned a pretty tight o-ring out of some spare vacuum hose I had laying around and now that big vacuum noise is gone! idle is way more steady, no weirdness after I...

Wait never mind, it goes directly into the top of the intake. Fahk.

Welp, used your hose technique and I think I found the issue. This open hole on the bottom side of this...part...whatever it is...that bolts onto the top of the intake. It has other vacuum lines coming out of it but I have no clue where the missing hose is supposed to go!

Loosened up that bolt on the intake manifold so it was backed out most of the way and made no difference on the sound. Now I'm researching how to build a homemade DIY smoke tester. Also popped the P2187 System Too Lean at Idle Bank 1, it's been stuck on for a while now. Took it for a 20ish mile...

- Fired it up first time and it died. - Fired it up second time, idle got VERY low, but it recovered and stabilized at idle. Let it run for 30 or so seconds and blipped the throttle, then it went VERY low idle and died. - Fired it up third time, struggled to maintain idle, and it died. - Fired...

Okay as far as stepping through them, I am pretty sure I may have blipped the throttle once or twice, so a few of those readings being slightly wonky could've been because of that. Now jumping down to your possible causes for this: 1 - probably yeah, I will grab a hose, shove it into my brain...

this is what i was able to pull out with the OBD2 reader I have, anything jump out at you? @Enki
