Title: Rebuilding done!
Post by: manux86 on March 14, 2010, 11:23:43 AM
Ok I finish my rebuilding yesterday and the 13b was started at first turn of the key. I have only a problem. The tachometer, the speedometer, the odometer, the water gauge and the oil pressure gauge dont\'work. Only when, at idle, I turn steeringwheel a few on left the work for 1-2 second and then they stop to work.
What can it be??

thank you

Sound like a loose connection behind the dash, best bet is just to check it all got solid connection round the clips and the actual gauges themselfs. Oh and congrats on the rebuild, especially with first turn of key start !

Besides after this I tried to start the motor but It start limped and with strange noises.

water level low, check you engine bay connectors and add water to taste.

Yes but water level isn\'t low. And connector level are well connected, the prolunged beep alwais means low water level?

Its the coolent buzzer/rev limit buzzer, I guess if the ECU thought it was over 7k rpm it might go off, but most likely its coolent. Don\'t forget that when cold the water in the rad isn\'t being used, did you get all the air out of the engine block as well? it might be an air bubble trapped there, which is what mind had.
