Birkinman

It’s been a few years, but I am on the road for about a month now. The O2 sensor issue is fixed, the downstream of cat O2 sensor was wired to the wideband signal. Had no wideband. I bought the correct sensor and wired it in. Seemingly had a fuel pressure issue as well. The car was built with a carb regulator I found. Changed that out and jacked up pressure. That made all the difference in the world. Added datalink port so we can read on computer and we are down to 3 codes about the evap system I don’t have. Picture was first ride with my son where we drove about 20 miles, never more than about a mile from the house as the crow flies. We blasted up around Saratoga lake the other day with no issues, so confidence is growing.

@Vovchandr I would like to be seen this year. Car is not currently running. I have battled fueling issues ever since I bought the car. It is a 99 Zetec with factory ECU. I think the issue has to do with only having 1 O2 sensor. I actually think the sensor is wired to the wrong pins of the ecu. No OBD port, so troubleshooting is a challenge. I’ve been debating a DanST bike throttle body conversion and just starting over with a new ECU. That option won’t get me out this year however with the rest of life going on. A little soldering and it will run again, but I think it is in a limp mode as it runs super rich and fouls plugs. I did take the cover off...just looking at it helps motivate me to think about working on her again. I can’t even remember why I stopped other than frustration. Anybody want a 1972 VW Beetle original survivor NY/NJ car...it’s in the way of the Birkin. I’ll make a point to post a few pictures soon

Well Vlad I did check out the site, signed up, but was having trouble posting...said I was banned? I finally clicked the contact us button yesterday and voila I can now post. Happy to be a new member and hope to find value in the site. We had a Birkin group on Yahoo, but Yahoo is dying. I think they are looking to see if we can move files elsewhere, like here. Christopher
