Thread: Trying to figure out whats wrong with my car

Soo i found a pic online and did a drawing of what wire is broken and what it was connected to


The part i circled in black is where the wire that got broke is located, It's purple and i soldered it back, but it was also connected to another connecting that was also purple, I drew that in yellow. I followed the wire as much as i could and it went up past the fuse box and it was connected to the firewall. Well that connection had some sort of peice that the purple wires went into it but my teacher told me to just take that peice off and solder all of them together. I hope this was a little help. I will try to get my camera asap soo i can take actul pics of it. Today I'm just gonna put in my tuned pcm in it, i tryed starting it with my stock pcm.

If you have an aftermarket alarm with remote auto-start then that is likely where the installer tapped in for the rpm signal and why the wire was routed how it was. There is no factory wire that runs from the ICM connector outside of the engine harness loom, or at that connector the ICM harness that goes on the front of the engine.

Thats exactly what that is trannyman, my car came with a viper alarm system and i just took out the box when i first got it cause they said it wasnt working right. I'm also guessing thats why my srs light is on too cause i tryed a tech 2 and a brand new snapon solstic scanner and i couldnt connect to the srs modual and the alarm system and srs system is the same modual i belive but I'm not worried about that. Sooo anyways today i'm gonna take the supercharger tensionor and take a look that that ground cause i saw a little paint on it and I'm just gonna clean it. Yesterday i took a sparkplug tester and i tested two plugs and i got absolutly no spark. I been using aligator clips to keep the wire that broke apart on the coilpack plug.

Problem fixed. It was the ground. She runs again.

Don't you love pulling out your hair for simple ****?

Glad you got it fixed

glad you fixed it! Trannyman to the rescue once again!!!

I'm pulling at my hair again and i'm giving up on the car at the moment. its missfiring only on cylinder 1 and i got a got saying something about cylinder 1 injector. soo i decided to switch injector one and injector 2 and hook it back up too see if it was injector one thats messed up. But when i put the injectors back they dont seem like they really want to fit in the rails and i bolted down the rails, idk i just need some space away from her lol.
