READ UPDATE PAGE 4



Here is exactly what happened.

First, the work i did on my car today.
-changed oil
-added some more transmission fluid
-plugged the CC back in
-re wired three prosport gauges (wired them into the power and ground from the stereo)

Ok now here is the problem that occured.

First the RPM gague died. then i tried to roll the windows down and those didn't work
neither did the sunroof. then after driving about 10 miles the voltage got so low (i have a voltage gauge) that i pulled over. Slowly she went down lower and lower. then i tried to drive across the street into a parking lot to get off the road. The car was at about 9 volts. Once i stopped in the lot she started smoking. I immediatly shut her off (feering fire) and checked under the hood.
Coolant was spilling from the throttle body area, pinpointed it to the coolant line funning into the throttle body..

anywhoo any ideas?
I had a similiar problem three weeks ago, where the stock 3s alt died. I replaced it with a 5s alt and now this happened.

I have to get back to base by monday at 1830.. or 6:30 for you civilian folk


while i waited for the tow truck i got really cold so i popped the hood and sat on the top mount intercooler it kept my butt plenty warm

It is making fine contact ive done it over a couple times.. and that itself wouldn't explain all the other problems... would it?

It gets perfect continuity when i check that main wire before and after the splice and even when i check it further back in the harness.


I agree that its the three wire plug, i have thought that all along, what i have been trying to find is WHY isn't that third one getting what its supposed to and until now i didn't even know what it was supposed to be getting
