UPDATE: shop says they checked all the fuses and they were fine. AND, they are getting the correct voltage readings at the crank and cam angle sensors...

any other thoughts on this?

Is the timing on cams/crank on the marks ?
Cam sensor installed the correct way ? It could be 180* off.
Motor has good ground ?

anyone seen this happen before? any thoughts? thanks in advance and feel free to ask any clarification questions....

Hey man, I like to check up on the car every once in awhile.

Get it back running? Did you upgrade motors or did the original blow? Is it completely back to stock now?

Hope the old car did you good.

My new project is coming along great. What's your next project?

it is not running yet, the original motor spun a bearing...it is completely stock now, this thing is costing me way too much money, which is why i parted out the car...needed the money.

what is the new project?

Hopefully, they'll get it running soon. Good luck!

I loved that car, but was definitely expensive. Here's my new project.

Thanks. Congrats on the new ride. Nice car indeed. Guess we went down the same path of wanting a better balance of luxury and power. Be sure to post pics as the modding comes along.

Yes, definitely in the works. I'm in the same situation as I was when I first purchased the 2003 Evo. Both were new models so have to play the waiting game on mods. As you know, I pick my mods very carefully so still waiting for more options on the suspension.............. Soon my friend.

Dayum, did you have to purchase a whole new motor or have someone rebuild it?

Will this affect your engine modding on the C32?
