So today sucked. Had just picked up some beer, some chips and salsa and was about to make a 2 hour trek to Columbus for a friend's house warming party and the car started stumbling on me and died. Popped the hood and started looking around for issues and found my cylinder 1 Injector harness clip pulled off the Injector.
Couldn't get it back into place with the ps pump and manifold in the way, so for the first time in the 196k miles, I had to call a tow truck. Called AAA and requested a flatbed since the car is lowered, and they insisted it wasn't necessary, so I had to pull the front bumper to get enough clearance to get the car on there.
Got the car home, ripped everything apart and secured everything tightly. I did have to take the fuel rail off to get to the Injector as the clip was slightly damaged and would just pull off the Injector and I needed to secure it with some creativity and some zip ties and wire. I did notice that 4 of the 5 bolts holding the fuel rail to the head were loose when I pulled everything apart, I was able to remove them without needing a socket, which was pretty concerning. Not sure if that was something that was overlooked when the built motor was put in the car and things were transfered over, or if the insane vibrations from the shit jbr PMM rattled stuff loose. Either way, it's taken care of now
Got everything buttoned up and the car would turn over, but wouldn't start. It was throwing codes for accelerator pedal position, throttle position, cam sensor, and fuel pressure regulator. As soon as I would clear them, they came back.
Turned out the 15A engine bar 1 fuse was blown... No idea how... But maybe when the Injector harness plug came off the Injector, something shorted
Anyways, the car is running again. The only issue is, when the tow truck driver let my car off the truck, it ripped the passenger side skirt off, so I will have to get all new clips for it. Oh well, at least I can get to work on Monday!
