It worked, now I get no signal.
I tried to start the car today in the morning. The engine turns, but it does not crank. I noticed I did not hear the beep from the fuel pump when the key in on the ignition. I then saw that the lights on the MS would not light up as they are supposed to once the key is in the ignition.
So, what's the deal? I last drove the car Saturday night. It has been sitting since then. Should I reload the firmware?

Try to even connect to it, you shouldn't need to reload firmware.
if the engine is turning then it is cranking....you mean it doesn't fire? if so, we know your starter and ign. switch still work.

^^ Haha
Well I figured out. A fuse in the engine bay shorted. IDK which one exactly because the diagram on the box cover faded. Is a 30A in front of the headlight motor fuse.
The problem now is that the car is literally gone to ****. That weekend Dan (dxpe) and I swapped the clutch in my car. Afterward I drove the car home and it was fine.
Now my AFR are completely fucked, clt temps on TS are fucked (oscillates from 315 to 215, and sets at 170 when the car is off), and for some odd reason the car is spitting water out into the reservoir from the radiator.
WTF??

I've done a little research and it seems that my stock radiator cap isn't cutting it anymore. I say this because there's no smoke, nor consumption of water. I also think "burping" the system will help with the reservoir overflowing.
I need help figuring out the problem with the MS though. Any suggestions as to why the gauges are going crazy?

I thought so because the first time I had the reservoir overflow was when the alternator belt snapped. I had the same thing happened to me a few days ago, but the belt was still there. I opened the radiator an let it run without the car and there was a current so I figured that the wp was still functioning.
I later read a bit other threads and it seems more what Brain says than a wp, or a hg.

I could've accidentally since messing with the downpipe was a nightmare. I really haven't even looked at the car. I'll probably start fixing on Thursday. I have a test tomorrow that I need to study for.
