Nope the only time I messed with the harness was to extend the CAS harness for the 1.8 swap

yea I am thinking of redo the wiring anyway as I did a quick job the first time and it isn't pretty so I am wondering if my Ne signal means that wire just came lose at 80 mph.

once I get off work and it is day light I will try cranking the again. My neighbors don't like my car as it is. so don't feel like pissing them off at 1 in the morning.

So I found out why my car randomly died

For some reason that seem like that just may cause a car to randomly died :lol:

I did get the car running again but now the car is bogging under load. I need to sit down with it and figure out if I happen to have an leaks or what not. It started to get late once I got the car running and my neighbors were already getting pissed about how loud my car was just idling and free reving.

BTW thanks for everyone

I just asked Milton and he bets $5 it's your CAS. Remember, no spark, no fuel = CAS.

Milton wants his ******* $5 or he'll rip your face off. Paypal it to Milton@inoneear.com

That's a pretty sweet dog. He looks like he is rather proud of that sweater. Nice threads, Milton.
