I opened my garage tonight to troubleshoot wiring. There was a smokey smell in it pretty strong. No smoke though so I was a little confused. I look in my rear trunk which was open as I was testing ECU wiring the previous night. I did pull one of the 3 relays last night that sit by my ECU. Just wanted to grab some in town to swap out & rule those out as a possible problem. I did not leave the key on or anything. I didn't think to pull the ground. I don't see why I'd need to as all I did was pull a relay. HOW the fuch does this happen just sitting?
I admit I am no genius with wiring but really? How could pulling a relay catch my car on fire? I guess I should feel lucky as this happened in my closed garage with nobody the wiser. It is also just the battery & into my trunk. I sure as hell don't feel lucky. I feel like I got kicked in the nuts repeatedly really hard (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Attached image(s) |

Okay my car is finally back together. They got it running today. After getting everything hooked back up. Wasn't getting spark. He went through & check all the wiring. Still no go & had questions with the aftermarket fuse panel & wiring for gauges. A lot of custom work done by PO. Which was all good but no wiring diagrams. So we sent it to another shop that is more a wiring guru. Go everything checked out under the dash & all was good. Had spark but injectors weren't getting the signal to put fuel in. Had fuel pressure & new fuel pump. It was there just wasn't coming through the injectors. After rechecking all the wires it didn't make sense everything was hooked up properly. So they called Outfront to troubleshoot. Weren't sure if it was the new ECU or the custom wiring harness they made. Found they had 3 wires in the harness that were done wrong at out front. Rewired them to where they should go despite & it started right up. Anyway my wait is almost over. I'm on vacation until sunday. So will be making a trip over next week to drive my car home (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)
