I'm taking a vacation today, so if anyone has any question about the car, please feel free to contact me. You can pm me for my phone number.

The test drive ended up happening today and he loved her.
Car is SOLD.
She is going to a good home, a good guy, previous 3000GT owner and will be able to come out to the local meets so I will still get to see my old car. :)
Going out to finish cleaning her up now to finalize the deal tomorrow morning.

YESSSSSSS!
Did you tell him to get on 3sgto?
I will tomorrow, he is a member on 3Si from 2010, though he has only posted maybe 3 times.Quote:

Well, bad news, the car died on him, I went out to meet him and couldn't see anything noticeably wrong, no idea why she wouldn't start, wiggled the ECI fuse and motor fuse and boom she ran fine.
He drove off and a couple of miles later she died again.
So now he is towing the car back, we are cancelling the deal for now, I am going to see what is going on. The car had been sitting since October. It is probably (hopefully) something simple.
Once i fix the car, he will drive her for a week and if all is well we will talk about continuing the deal.
I'm going to check for fuel and spark, pull and check the ECU, check the CAS.

If you just wiggled the fuse and it started it sounds like a poor connection at the fuse itself. Hopefully its something simple.
I would inspect and replace the fuses first, then trace the wiring. Sounds like a bad connection.
BWHAHAHAHA! I finally had some time last night to look at the car, I pulled a spark plug to see if I was getting spark, nope. Fuel, yup.
So I did a check of my crank angle sensor, no damage to the wire anywhere, all of the clips still holding it away from the belt. So I go into my garage to grab my spare PTU and coil pack to check those, and guess what I find.
A darn plug on the PTU was backed off just enough to not get a complete connection, but not enough to look unplugged. It wasn't clipping so it would wobble, which explains the randomness of it all. It was a damn wire unplugged! Haha
Car is all fixed. Just going to install some OEM fans, wash the car again and get it back to the buyer.
