Debugging For 1st Drive II

With a full battery and 6l of fuel, went to the car.

First attempt: connected battery and tried. Failed.
Second attempt: added about 4l of fuel to the tank. Car starts, lots of noise, neighbour's van alarm goes off.

Grabbed the exhaust can and fitted it temporarily to the car, tied with a strap to the chassis. Took the airbox out and refitted the idle screw. Reconnected the Digidash. Started the car again, could see on the Digidash the RPM and other indicators moving. Between starts, tweaked the idle screw and I think that next time the car will idle without needing my foot on the throttle.

Did not attempt to drive it because the tintop was parked in front and I didn't have it's keys to move it. Besides, I'm a bit scared of what will happen. But on the weekend I'll drive it! And take pictures of the exhaust can.

    1. Provavelmente vou precisar de dicas motard.

      Até agora estive sempre com a embraiagem a fundo, não sei se tenho o carro engatado em 6ª ou em 1ª (acho que está em 1ª) nem consigo encontrar o ponto-morto (ou quando o encontrei pensava que era a 2ª ou a 5ª).

      Vai ser lindo... ;)
