99 cavy 2.
Thursday, March 11, 2010 4:58 PM
So here is the deal, I replaced the 2.4 out of my girlfriend's cavy with a 2.4 out of a sunfire. I was in a hurry and didn't take the time to label any of the wires before I removed the old motor... Now when I got the new one in and everything hooked up I turned the key and gas went everywhere... The injectors stuck wide open and gas flooded the cylinders and intake manifold. I havn't messed with it since and it's been a couple weeks. A couple of people have told me that it simply could be a wire that needs to be hot could be grounding out...Or it could be more serious... I have the Haynes manual and it doesn't show me what I need... Anyone have any pics or diagrams that you think would help? Or anyone have any ideas what could be going wrong?

On another note... the sunroof will not open... I'm not sure if its off the track or needs some lube... If you push it up and hold the vent button it will hold and stay vented but will not slide open. So I don't think it's the motor. I don't know much about them like I said it's my girlfriends car. If it's off the tracks whats the best way to go about putting it back on? Thanks so much in advance... She's desperate to get it back on the road.
