The Otters tiny TD04 Build

Particulars, please.

he's upset because there's a lot of little things to tweak in.

Steven, it moved under it's own power. Giant step forward. Look at the good instead of focusing on the bad!

My engine went in and out a few times due to some stupid stuff I missed. It happens to everyone.

Car doesn't keep idle after rev and dies. So there is that, but I was talking to ABM and I am going to try something he recommended.

Clutch doesn't fully engage, when I put it into second and gave it some gas it just revved. (I assume I just need to adjust the clutch pedal rod)

Brakes seemed to be squishy, so I will go around and bleed them again (could also be vacuum related?)



What would just make me super happy is to keep the car from stalling out. So hopefully the recommendation works.

Clutch - make sure your shift fork doesn't look bent, and look at the slave cylinder. The clutch usually has issues DISengaging... so anything wrong with yours should be pretty obvious and easy to fix.

Brakes - you know there is a right way and wrong way, correct? refer to the manual, but I think it's back pass. side, then back driver, then front pass, then front driver.... you have to bleed in that order.

[DocWalt]

Yes, bleed the longest line first and work towards the shortest line.

Clutch issue is possibly just the master cylinder push rod being set too long and not letting the system self-bleed the master so it's always partially "ON"

[futurevr4man]

When I bleed the clutch, I take out the bleeder screw completely so that it gravity feeds/bleeds. Gets out 95% of the air. The other 5% comes from working the pedal and bleeding it off built up pressure. Just FWIW

On a different note, I just got the new tires mounted to the wheels and dropped them off at my house.

yay....

WOW This!

I'm pleasantly surprised to see you drove it.

[FeaRpb]

So..

Who has a chrome ecu for a first gen for sell... :P

[FeaRpb]

So, I drove it down to the local O'Reillys and back.

Clutch grabs stupid hard, need to work on my engagement and foot work, feel like a damn noob driving it.


Also need to work on it's ability to start up and shit.


Tomorrow I am driving it to the exhaust shop, once they are done with it, I will have wbo2 readings to help with that.
