Yes, I'm just trying to make sure the electronics are in working shape before I start to dismantle the motor. There is some indication from both previous owners that the car had some electrical issues. DanglerB, I mentioned that the pictures of the cams that I posted here above were with the crank set on the wrong mark. With it set correctly at the first OT mark the teeth were about 2 teeth off. So it was much less out time than in the pictures here, but still out of time by 1 or 2 teeth on each cam. Granted the timing belt is not in good shape, but it's mainly chewed around the edges from me leaving the left timing cover wedged open and the belt touching it as I cranked over the engine. The belt is not in terrible shape. It looks like a botched replacement. It has no cracks or teeth missing. I'm going to replace the timing belt and tensioner if I can fix the car with electronics. In the meantime, I've put the cams back in time with the crank, retensioned the belt, and spun the motor many times to check the timing. After continual hand cranks and starter crank checks the cams are now dead on. Let me see what the story on the LH and the EZF is. If they check out okay, I'll continue on to pulling the motor and report what I find in the internals. I'll post pics and you guys can cry with me. I appreciate the help you guys have given me so far. This is going to be a long process, but in the last couple of days I've sold a couple of my junk cars for scrap and I'm expecting the worst. Don't worry though. I have a passion for 928's so this project is going to get finished eventually one way or another.
I'm waiting on my partner to find the compression tester right this second.
