I finally fixed the shifter cables so now it actually goes into all the gears. Got the axle seal for the tranny and radiator hose (just gotta go pick it up from discount). No...

MR2 Runs then catches fire
(Preview)

They're a little tough to get in cause of the 5s manifold but we eventually got them in. Then I turned on the fuel pump to check for leaks. There was a big leak. Tried fixing it but...

We did manage to get one cylinder to fire. I think the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st cylinder aren't getting any fuel....like i suggested before...
