After I got home last night I popped in the 2 missing fuses and voila!  She liiiiiiives!  Fired right up and I did some adjusting to the clutch master cylinder.  At first none of the gears wanted to engage but after working with the clutch a little bit and some repetition they started going in.  Took it for a quick test drive but couldn’t do much because of the rain.  There was also the fact that my speedo is way off because of the different reluctor wheels.  It also threw a bunch of CEL codes because it couldn’t find the auto trans any longer.

Today I was feeling a bit under the weather and left work in the early afternoon.  When I got home I grabbed a stock m6 tune from then HP Tuners repository and licensed it.  Made a few tweaks to get rid of the rear O2 sensors, disabled CAGS, the speed limiter and the AIR system.  Flashed the new tune to the PCM and started her up.  Took a little bit to re-learn the idle but once she did, I took her off to walgreens for drugs and kroger for a few food items.  It shifted much better now and the reverse lockout was working properly so I didn’t have to strong arm it into reverse.  The only problem I have now is that the rear hatch release button isn’t working.  I guess splicing it into the e-brake ground wasn’t good enough and I might have to just short the connection and hope that I don’t hit the button at highway speeds.

I also went by Advanced Auto on the way home to pick up a new air filter since I have not changed mine in at least a year.  This one dude in there was trying so hard to sell K&N filters.  Was telling everyone in the store that they should check them out.  And the sad part is that he didn’t even know what they were.  He claimed to have one in his vehicle and that it increased his power, efficiency, ect ect.  Only, he kept calling them K&L filters.  Went on about how they were washable and re-usable.  Told him no thanks and that I didn’t want oil in my intake tract.  He just looked at me for a few seconds and proclaimed that no oil was involved in their use which just went to show how little he actually knew about the product.  Told him no, I will stick with paper.

Now I just need to find the time to tune the rest of the motor.  After I get rid of whatever plague is trying to afflict me.
