ok so i just finished up on my sc build. followed becks how-to for the most part. everything is installed besided the bumper and headlights.. so i went to connect the negative and BAM! sparks.. i left it on there because there was only sparks on inital contact.. it got REALLY hot so i took it off.. any idea whats wrong? the only thing i rewired was my throttle body.

HELP!

 

something is shorting out. go over everything again

 

Nvm..

 

ye ai never took it off.. was i isuppose to?

 

I read it wrong im sick n took sum nyquil lol

 

ok, i think i know what the problem is... this might take awhile.

well i had to take the blower, and everything including the manifold, turns out the manifold was resting on the positive wire for the starter or selenoid so everything was shorted out.. problem fixed tho!

 

Note to self watch starter wires when i do my SC build

 

Hopefully you didn't burn up any wires. Thats never good.

 

fortuneately i didnt this time... car is running great and has been for two weeks

 

yeah i accidently hit the manifold on the starter all the time when i pull it off, alwlays causes sparks...scared me the first time, figures it out the second time, than just diconnect the battery when i do work w/the IM
