Hello again.. Well Swedecar, you were right when you said that it might be too much of a grief... Finished with the swap of the '92 Griffin engine into the '91 CD non-turbo, it started today which was encouraging... :) Well I got scared and decided not to go with a complete engine swap(turbo and all electronics, too much wire work I was getting lost... ), instead I took off the intake and the exhaust manifolds off of the Griffin engine and all the turbo related lines and such so that I would be able to use the stuff of the '91 engine, that simplified the job a lot. The axles were different too so those had to go.. that sucked..
Well now I have it running but something is still wrong and I need some help :
1. Heavy white smoke out the exhaust constantly, doesn't matter what rpm..
2. No speed reading.. no cruise either but the no speed probably explains that
3. No high beams, although the indicator on the instr. cluster is on(dim when on lows (only if the fogs are on), bright when on highs(doesn't matter if the fogs are on for this ... )
4. The blower motor only works on 4th speed(setting) 1,2,3 do not work.
5. Wipers went on when I tested them by trying to pump water on the windshield, the wipers(headlight ones too) went on and I couldn't get them to stop, ended up taking the fuse out...(I didn't have the plug on the fluid pump so maybe that's why..
6. The computer display undernath the speed doesn't work either(lights up at first when u start the car but the goes off, same about the fuel gauge...
7. The seats do not work... (electrical) Windows work though...

It runs but HELP is greatly apreciated, thanks!!!
