Still Need Help On My 99.5

Anyone near Rockford IL.

I have searched all users and found justblowin'smoke lives near me, does anyone know him. I have sent him a pm with no response.

I cant afford the stealer and Im still lost at getting this p.o.s. running.

I have tried everything but new injectors.
compression is between 395-425 on all 8 cylinders.
glowplugs out,compressed air into holes with valves closed, cant hear any leaks.

I hate to say it but Im lossing faith in my ability to fix this thing, and I hate it well Im stumped.

I have already spent more time on this thing than I would think it should have taken, and I still am stuck with only my 4 mile/gallon Pete to drive.

What was your original problem. If I was closer I would help, but I am going to the west coast, again.

Have you tried removing the chip and bringing everything back to stock?

Do you have any kind of scan tool ( AE )? I think there are couple of members around the greater Chicago area. Maybe contact a few of them and see if some others would come to help you out. Did you check the wiring around the engine bay to make sure it isnt rubbed though anywhere? How were the connections on the UVCH's to the injectors and GPs? Your woof woof sound could just be the turbo surge. With the miss would it go away when it warmed up?
