OMG!!!!! Update

I went to pick up my G today. Drove it up the street and it ran horrible!

So I turned around and went back to the dealership. On the way back I began running all the test scenarios that I did when Hunter was helping me troubleshoot over the phone.

One scenario that kept coming to mind was when I had the crossover pipe removed and the turbo covered with a rag. The engine fired up but once again began to race. So I shut it off immediately. I expressed what happened to Hunter and said that I could not find the T-shirt rag that I was using to cover the turbo. I did find a similar rag on the floor on the other side of the garage so I just thought that it was the one.

Well after todays miserable maiden voyage I went over that again with the techs and said what say we pull the intake manifold and see if by some chance I have a t-shirt in there.

Low and Behold the T-shirt was in the manifold draped over #5 and #6 intakes. How bizarre is that!!

I will once again be going to pick it up tomorrow. You just have to laugh at such a bizarre series of events.

1. Injection pump goes bad.
2. While trouble shooting lets let the engine ingest a t-shirt to further complicate things.

Hopefully all will be good tomorrow.
