He did have a Walbro there, and I guess he installed it, and should be doing the dyno today, tonight or tomorrow, I was affraid to call him, as I didn't want to hear any more bad news, he will post or call me when HE is ready. Will post info when I get it, or when he wants to post it!
Man, if it ain't one thing it's another!!! Hope it all turns out.....still revving under bridges in the beast's absence .
Perhaps a lightning rod should be hooked up to it---Frankenstein style. Lightning strikes...then IT'S ALIVE....ALIVE!!!
Think it will be ready for our little adventure in October???

It's another problem, the car has a "bad" wire somewhere under the dash, so, since the sign out front DOES NOT READ: Dyno4mance tuning and under-dash wiring specialists! I will be dispatching Bill ("X" mitshu. svc. mgr) down there friday night to get it right, for a Saturday Dyno! Again, will keep those interested, informed, and those UN-interested-Bored!

I don't understand? It sounds to me that Andrew is trying to correct all the problems and wiring issues that someone caused you in the passed. I thought Andrew was just going to tune it, not repair everything? Everything Andrew's done for me in the past has turned out great. He pays great attention to detail and makes sure the job is done right. It sounds to me you think Dyno4mance is incompetent, or am I reading this wrong?

Is Dyno4mance even open on Friday night? If not, Bill may need to find a hotel.

Yeah, but if Dyno4mance can't understand what another person did under the dash, is it really Dyno4mance's fault?

I think she was being sarcastic when she said that.

Actually, as far as I'm concerned, puns are the lowest rung on the joke ladder. The worst part is when people are so proud of themselves when they use them...

You ARE reading it wrong!!!!!!!!! Andrew is a tuner, not a repairman, he is too busy to clean up the mess someone else left! he went WAY ABOVE the call of duty to help me out, and I am more than GREATFUL, as he knows. The one who plugged up the "camode" with the Meth wiring issue, is the one going down there to fix it. Myself nor Andrew is an electrician journeyman, so we both agreed that the one who knows best on how to fix it, is the one who installed it!
My initial intent was to go down there last Sat, tune for 2 hours and go home! things happened, and Andrew has done More than he should have to make it right, but I think he's stumped as to the "spagetti mess under the dash!"

DYNO4MANCE IS VERY COMPETENT!

Yes Andrew,
Bill will be there Friday night, don't change your plans, he can sort out the mess on Sat Am. I went to the local Mitshubishi dealership also and picked up some fuel pressure tester stuff etc...Bill is also bringing the wiring diagrams /electrical equipment for the evo. He thinks he can trace the electrical problem down in short order (no pun intended, ok, it is intended!) PM your cell if you want. I will try to keep my puns and jokes to a minimum, as someone who didn't change their chin-sponge, or forgot to loosen their helmet, seems to mis-read what I write! no fighting or arguing here please, I'm glad you can read between the lines and follow qsujeff55!!!!

Spaghetti mess wiring is no fun. Especially when you get the sauce on your brand new white shirt that you were planning on wearing to church.

Wanna come over and do some one wheel burn outs with the RA in the meantime? It's no sticker beast, but I know you are over there getting the shakes not being able to drive the vinyl sled to scare all the kiddos and "old people"....

I am starting to get the "shakes" so bad, I have to sit down to take a leek!, I usually do anyway, as its difficult to get a grip on my manhood, or as my wife says my "boyhood." My wife also told our neighbor, if my wife and I stand hand in hand on a nude beach, we look like a lesbian couple, unless you are 3 feet away. Thats how "close" you have to be to see one of us is a guy! So you see what I am up against, and why I have to "vent" on this site!
