Congrats on finishing it. I too had the reference sensors crossed after my clutch job. After fixing that, it started right up. The car did leave me stranded the following week though. Fortuneately it was only the DME relay and I was able to bypass it untill a new one came in.

I see that you work at a Honda mc dealer. I recently bought a '86 vfr700 that was missing its hardware to mount the fairings. Would you by chance know if Honda sells a kit with all the necessary fairing hardware?

Thanks,
Tom

I am glad you are able to get the car running again. I didn't know you worked at a honda mc dealer. I just bought a 2001 f4i and am working on it. The bike starts fine but after a few seconds the idle goes from 1k to about 2.5k and the FI light goes on in the instrument cluster. I have not taken anything apart yet but am suspecting some kind of a vacuum leak. Can you shed some light on what your feelings are on that bike and what may be causing the problems? Thanks.

you went through a hell of a clutch job, congrats. but the kicker, is you can no longer use a mechanical problem as an excuse to abandon your baby

Well, no issues car runs better than ever.

Motorcycle stuff - email me at honda919rider@yahoo.com and I'll get you fixed right up, if it is a Honda.

Thanks for all the support, Scott especially so.

Update:
No problems, car is doing great. I really need to double check the bolts, and add that missing CV Bolt washer retainer thing.
Did notice some odd noises during some spirited cornering, but heck, I'll slow down!
Thank you all again, very much so.
I'll try and get back more often, my world is in a "revolutionary" period at the moment . . .

I also had a very colorful vocabulary when doing my first 944 clutch... The 911 guys have it soooo easy!

Or drive it down today, we are having a KCWS Indoor Racing League cart session at 4:00pm in Olathe. Its a blast, and we always get together for a beer/bench racing session afterwards. While you are down here, we can put your car up on my lift and throw that missing cv bolt retainer on (I am sure I have an extra) and double check everything else.

All Rennlisters are welcome to join us, give me a call at 785-865-3435 if you are interested.

Refused to start the other morning and I needed to get to work.

Thunderstorms, and I was late and had to ride my motorcycle.

I think I have the car sold for $3500.00 cash for the car as in only nothing else.

Starts, runs for a second, dies - fuel pump is what I thought, no power to it. Relay and fuses looked OK, but it is time to say goodbye to this car.

I will have a parts and stuff for sale if the buyer does not want to make a package deal.

MY83944

Or should I let the manuals and all the other crap go with it for $3500.00?

I checked, no voltage to the fuel pump.

Found the ground on the back of the bellhousing was not tight, the bolt was too long.

Moved the ground wire to another position, but I quickly realized, my hands were not made to work on small cars and my eyesite has gotten really bad.

I am looking forward to seeing someone else enjoy my83944 . . . . .

Wow we are clones MY83944

did a clutch job (and other stuff) that took forever and now it doesnt start. Back to the CBR600 for daily transportation

Finally got the disc off off the drive spline Sunday after having to use 2 flat bars and some words. Had to drill one of the FW bolts and learned a trick to that. I couldn't get the drive shaft to let go of the clutch; almost pulled it out of the TT. So I unbolted the PP thru the starter hole. Stripped one bolt. I failed to put a little PB Blaster on the 1st two bolts or 'wake' them up. Got lucky on the1st one. The 2nd one stripped. If you use an 11/32 metal bit (not a twist bit) you can drill down into the head, then you can tap a 10 mm cheesehead into it and that should back it out. My pilot bearing had gone **** to the moon and the clutch disc had 'just' started to hit the rivets. AND OF COURSE the little springs and their sheet metal holder had fallen out. I also had to destroy one of the speed sensors. If you have to, you can remove the 2 cheese head bolts on their holder and the whole thing will come out together when you move the bellhousing back a little. This damn car better drive GOOD when I get it back together.

I am so not looking forward to this job. You Sir are true hero. My hats off to you.

That's just from Sunday; I was quite clean. There was 2 days getting the exhaust off (turbo, 2 piece, thank God) Several hours on the trans getting it out. That was the NASTIEST thing I have EVER pulled outta one of my Pcars!! Not to mention the hours spent trying to convince that sensor that it would rather stay in one piece as opposed to the garbage can. AND, I removed the everything off the top- of the engine plus the heater valve to make access to it EASIER!!!!!
