Weed smoking, Crazy male parents suck... I got arrested when I was 17 for Pulling a knife on him *He was choking me, and I'm an asthmatic so I couldn't breathe* but I got arrested because I was still a minor and he was 'disiplining' me or something... He kicked me out when I turned 19.... and Now I'm a Network Tech making Salary with Blue Cross, Blue Shield Benifits, and I own a 2007 for focus AND my project Hatch. I make more than him, I am healthier than him, and will be a better man then he ever will, LIVING WELL IS THE BEST REVENGE!

Sadly, no, nothing new has been done. I'm in the process of buying a home (with garage), and that has taken most of my time. Though, now it's looking like I'll need a better job to get the financing.

As far as fuel lines, I was planning on using rubber fuel line, about the same size as the brake booster vaccuum line, but I would like to get some steel lines at least from the tank to the firewall.

I could take more pics, but they would just be of the car parked in the trees :(

It's cool man, I was talkin about handouts like $$$. If you got extra parts that you don't need, I'll take em, but I don't want to be like "Whoah is me, give me money because I have it so bad"

There are much better causes out there that could use your money. Extra fuel line, I'll take :D

Thanks again man.
 
And now that I'm thinking about it, is the ECU's power source from the wire that goes to the + terminal hazard fuse it's sole source of power? I was doing the wiring when the project got interrupted and was kinda confused.
There seemed to me to be one bulkhead plug that had all the wires leading from sensors on the engine to the ECU, and another bulkhead plug with wires leading from sensors to the instrument cluster. There was also the injector harness, and a few other things. I guess my question is, what is the bare minimum amount of things that need to be hooked up to make the engine run? I know I don't need the instruments, Idle up solenoid, and a few other non-essentials, do I need the Integrated Control Unit? I just think that if I could quickly get it to the point of at least firing up, I would be inspired to keep plugging away on it. I don't know a whole lot about wiring and circuits, so I'm pretty lost. I have an idea of what I need to do, but I don't know for sure. It would be awesome if someone could answer specific questions and point me in the right direction. If there are any wiring gurus in the house, please speak up!
 
ill send a email of the wire diagram that is needed for the hot wire-to-ECU-to-motor the main wire is the thick white wire on the out side fuse box
if you were to run down the wires from the ECU thats all the wires to run the motorthe diagram will show you all the wires needed ill have to send it Email its a lill big for the forum
