Started doing some more cleaning this weekend and before I knew it, the seats were out, all the plastic trim panels were removed and the carper was was sitting in the driveway.
24 year old factory carpet is pretty nasty. so many mystery stains, damp insulation.... The sheet metal underneath is solid as I expected though. Couple brackets had rusted off. No big deal. Gotta clean it up some and pick up some sound deadening before I put in the new carpet. Should probably get that ordered pretty soon I guess. Not sure if I want to finish the interior before Paint though.
Still fighting some strange readings from the ECM. The car starts and runs great with the updated program, but for some reason, the temperature reading and the throttle position feedback is way off. This is causing the car to think its a lot hotter than it really is and wont go into "Power Enrichment" mode. Basically making a lot less power than it should under heavy acceleration. the replacement ECM I ordered should show up this week. Hopefully that's the problem. not sure what else to try if that doesnt fix it.
I also ordered some stuff to dress up the interior. new LED dash cluster lights, White face gauge overlays, painted the backing plate for the gauges, and have some Carbon fiber vinyl coming as well. Should look real sharp when I'm done. trying to update to a more modern look.
