'91 Silver Star 2.0

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! Bypassed it, and it runs fine. Plugged it back in, started up, and died a short while after.

 

Looks like I'll be replacing that today!

  love the cheap fixes.

Broke right in half, lol

Haven't done too much recently. Put in a new head unit:

Added an amp, sub, and some nicer door speakers:

Also drained and refilled the AX-15 with some MT90 to see if an odd noise would go away. It didn't, but it seems to shift smoother: 

Also finally did the CAD delete once my light stay illuminated:

And had been cruising as my daily for the past few months. Started to get a worse and worse noise coming from some bearing in the engine bay:

And determined it was the alternator. Had no issues charging, just was extremely noisy and junk. Replaced it same day with a reman. unit from the local auto parts store and everything is good.

Went to go drive it today and getting a crank, no start condition again. No spark, not sure what’s going on. The one time I go to use it, and it’s dead…

 

Times like this make me want to sell it. Or at least trade for a motorcycle. Lol

Well, I feel like the saga still continues in:

In the mean time, I've got the battery tested (which passed with flying colors at multiple auto parts stores) and did the "Big 4" (I didn't go all the way with 7) battery cable upgrade. Haven't really driven it much, and hasn't really given me an issue but I still don't feel good about it.

 

I'm at the point now where I think I'm going to sell it with the plethora of extra parts I have. I don't drive it, and have lost interest in it. Would rather buy a motorcycle, to be honest.
