Title: Got my but kicked today
Post by: TURBOPOWERED68 on February 18 2012, 09:22:27 PM
it all started real good
Wife was busy and even offered me her "go work on the car" Blessing.
I get my stuff together and start the WB installation.
put the car on the ramps and OHHH trans fluid everywhere :013: OK worry about that later need to stay focused and finish the WB. Installed the sensor and ran the wiring backwards from the sensor to the cabin. Drilled the firewall fed the wires in, life is great so far.
i get into the car and smell a sweet smell that i have unfortunately smelled before BUT what ever i am installing the WB, Next thing you know the carpet is wet and i actually see a drip of antifreeze coming from the heater unit :013: :013:   
anyway the WideBand is sortta done only need to connect it to the PowerLogger.
but now i have to replace a heater core and transmission lines  :068:

the power steering was very low (i use trans fluid in the power steering system)
