So, my tach quit working and the car spun a bearring, so pulled the motor and put another crank in it with new bearrings the whole deal.
Was having an issue with the tach sometimes working, but not always. During this engine rebuild put a working DIS, Cam sensor and crank sensor, battery into the car. These parts were pulled from my other 2 running 89 SCs.
Have the car running and she purrs right along, but now whenever the brake pedal is touched the tach jumps up to between 2 to 3k rpms and that engine starts chugging and will sometimes die. Doesn't matter if just cruising and touch the brake pedal or have my foot on the gas and touch the brake pedal. Anytime the pedal is touched the tach now jumps and the engine starts running bad. Will run bad until the car is shut off, but most of the time it dies.
Couple other things, car is hard to start from time to time and trying to start it during one of these hard to start times it melted the positive lead that connects to the battery. Not the battery post, but the positive lead on the end of the positive cable. Replaced the lead, cable and got that wiring all tested and it tests fine.
Any ideas? Have to get my other SC ready for a tune, but need this one running for a DD.
Only have exhaust done on this car nothing else. It's all stock. It is a 5spd.
