Engine starts then dies

JARblue

It's really not that bad. You're more than welcome to come by and do it at my house if you want some guidance



I might possibly have some time this coming Sunday (6th), but our best bet is probably the weekend of the 19th.

See you on Saturday

I am going to be doing this DIY hose delete as well and could do your car, too if interested: DIY: TB Coolant Delete

Also, I'll be doing my power steering fluid. I don't think it uses much fluid, so there will probably be plenty to do both cars if yours needs it as well.

That's an interesting delete. I'll have to look into it before committing.

Probably a yes on the PS fluid. Maybe you could help me get the side skirts aligned a bit better with 3m tape? I'll see if I can get a thicker version in town today.

No problem, it's a pretty easy DIY. Just made easier since we're already removing the TBs.

The PSF capacity is 1.125 qt. I think I have 2 qt of Redline fluid, so it'll just depend on how much fluid it takes to do the ranger protocol a few times. At the very least, we can get some clean fluid into the system.

I'll take a look at your side skirts for sure, but I can't promise anything. Fitment concerns are the primary reason I haven't done any mods to the exterior body. It's kind of annoying when people post that a part has perfect fitment, but then you can clearly tell the gaps aren't within OEM specs

Unless you plan on moving to Yankeeland soon, I'd go ahead and do it while the TBs are out of the way. Only needed if you drive in temperatures well below freezing and don't do much good once the engine bay warms up (unless you're driving in -40 weather). For where you live, just unnecessary heat on the TBs.
