Small work day


Did some work on the car last weekend

installed radiator hoses
built bracket for coil
made shifter cables work (ghetto but it shifts)
tried bleeding clutch (it wouldnt take the fluid from the mastercylinder. any thoughts?)
fired it up on 1 cylinder again

After trying every kind of firing order possible I think we found the reason all cylinder arent firing at the right time. The trigger wheel for ms is kinda chewed up and its probably mis triggering somewhere. I logged the teeth for the wheel but havent gotten the chance to go through that yet.

So hopefully after we get the trigger wheel fixed and get some fluid in the clutch line, then we can take it for a drive.

bleeding an mr2 clutch the hard way: Like brakes.

Bleeding an MR2 clutch the awesome way: Put a vac line on the slave bleed screw, and put the other end in a cup, or something, with some brake fluid in it, a fair amount. open the screw, pump the pedal. You can thank me later. (I've tried to do it the first way, all I ended up with was a mess.)

We could'nt even get a mess. I opened the bleeder all the way and pumped and nothing haappened no fluid moved at all. I guess we'll try the bleeder tool and see if we can suck some fluid through.

If you haven't tried the method above, you really should try it. I cannot stress enough how much it works. It will pull fluid into the system, I know this, because I have done it. Just give it a whirl.

havent gotten a chance to work on it yet but will try that next time.

I looked at the trigger log and thats definately the problem. It makes no sense. It triggers wildly
