Infact, hours before I was getting ready to leave on my epic road adventure, I noticed my front markers were out. Turned out to be a buttsplice that broke the wires and was only making intermittat contact. Pulled the bumper, fender and unwrapped most of the chassis harness hunting down that break. Sucked balls. Think of what might happen if that happens with say an injector on a boosted engine..... pop goes the rotary
Agreed. I'm going over everything. It's been an ongoing battle ever since I started tweeking things from having my swap done a few years ago. The guy who did my wiring for my TPS, to extend the N/A plugs to meet where the turbo wiring should meet.....well lets just say it was subpar. I'll post up pics for your shock and amusement later tonight.
