One of the capacitors on the board for the amp popped
If radio shack was still around you could fix it for about a quarter.

So the display works, i can change the clock.
I click the radio "on" button and no static or anything, it should swap from displaying the time to displaying the radio station, i cycle AM/FM and nothing. That sounds like the amp board still to you?
My electrical engineering buddy has a stack of resistors and capacitors so If I know where to start looking I can bug him. I know there is a ton on those boards.

Yeah I did before I wired the radio up. 12 volts when key is on. The display turns on when i turn on the key, just no radio function.
Have you popped a tape in? There's a switch inside that detects a cassette to switch off radio. I seem to recall them going bad quite often.
Once you open it up you should be able to tell which one has burned out.
It should looked swelled up

So something didn't seem right that the oil level was so high and it seemed really thin when I drained it last night. I smelt the drain pan tonight and it smelt very gassy. Coupled with the fact it was running cold on #3 and ran out of gas last night it started adding up. I had maybe a gallon in the tank when I put the efi hanger in and put another 2 gallons in for testing a few weeks ago and it ran flat out. There was no way I burned 3 gallons through the engine in the under 5 minutes it has ran.
Took the fuel rails out of the intake tonight and yep as you would expect, #3 injector was stuck open spraying fuel in the engine at all times. Not sure if it was always bad or got rust stuck in it from the fuel rail. Swapped the injector with one of my spare l67 injectors and the smoke is totally gone and it runs smoothly.
I'll drain the oil and put fresh stuff in tomorrow and maybe take it for a drive if the warm weather doesn't lock the car in the back garage.
It's going to be 50 tomorrow and we're getting 3/4" of rain and there's 2ft+ of snow on the ground. I'm on the side of a sand hill so I'm not worried but I think theres going to be some rough few days as far as flooding in the next few days.

Changed oil, swapped the the 42lb injector chip and started up and instantly plugged another injector. I think the fuel rail rust issue is going to keep happening. I need to just get a rust free rail. Swapped my last spare in and it smokes a but still but it looks like condensation.
in other news I took the car for a short drive down the street. It idles awesome but once you get into the throttle under load it studders until you give it more throttle and then it gets past whatever is wrong and cleans up and runs ok. The turbo makes spinny sounds so that's cool.
I'm sure my tps, iac, o2's and everything is jacked up and the only way to get everything fixed it to get a scanmaster and start looking at what's wrong so that's my next thing to buy.
Feeling good that it moves.
