Well, you are correct, I can just eliminate components by bypassing them. But, I had a quick question to help maybe narrow this down: Every time the car does this, the tach goes to 0 RPM. Now, that either means the tach is losing power, or, the tach is losing signal, correct? Now, if it's...

I thank you for the help. I've never done any of what you two have described to me before. It sounds great in theory and I'm going to have to now, but because of the sporadic nature of the problem, I feel its going to a take a very long while. Mostly though I hate having to jumper stuff because...

Well, I'm not too well versed in repair techniques for a wiring harness I suppose. Part of me thinks it'd be easier and more reliable (that's more of a given) to just replace the offending wire. Unfortunately I'll come back to that in a minute. I discovered today at the worst possible time...

no, haha, I'm going to re-run the wire through the harness as it is stock, hopefully. Any flaws with that plan? :P also, just...for reference's sake, I think I found the terminals and the board connectors (not the male connectors, unfortunately) on tyco's site...

no! sorry, I was referring to bypassing +B/+B1, that wire. I don't think replacing the other one to the alternator did anything. And yeah, I've stumbled across that site before....thanks though! I actually once managed to find a listing for the original ecu connectors on Tyco's site, I might...

So I finally got around to finishing up what I was doing. Replaced all the stuff I mentioned previously. Glad I did, the first couple feet of the wire that runs from the fuse box to the alternator was extremely rigid. Could've broken it with a couple bends if I tried. I also ran a secondary...

ah, well, when you put it that way... But I think I could still argue they both have their uses in a situation like this! But I do see your [invisible] point. Sometimes it's just so difficult to force yourself to think things through before posting, in the hopes of having the answer given to...

its always for some reason! but, I'm curious, why would drop testing be superior (directly, in this scenario) to resistance measurements? *especially* in a straight wire? Does it show things that resistance measurements wont? and I'd love too! All my fun occurs at school though, so, I never...

I was wondering if that was a joke....too out of the loop here :P and yeah, I don't think it was actually 300 ohms, but, the coating on it and grime of the wire caused it to be a pretty bad connection, and caused me to look at it some more, then discovering the melted portion of the stud its...

I'd be really curious if it ever became one xD But, it could have helped me see which problem was occurring! To be perfectly honest though, the reason I chose the arduino is because previous to this, I thought I had fixed this problem. When this issue started occurring, I found a loose...

My engine keeps shutting off while driving. I can't seem to replicate the issue much while the car is standing still, it needs to be moving. Getting a code 11 from it. I've checked all my connectors, and tried shaking parts of the harness when the car is running at a standstill-netting nothing...

alright, and yeah, I just wasnt for sure Havent had time to check anything else yet, hoping to check some more stuff this weekend and get the flywheel off in the next two weeks however, I realized, without the flywheel, I cant exactly start the engine. Got any suggestions for that? I was...

took it for another drive today, I want to say that it used to feel much worse at around ~3k rpm, and it feels more smooth now. Rather, I should say, ~3k RPM no longer distinguishes itself from any other point in the RPM range whatsoever. I also want to say the idle feels, ever so slightly...

So, drove the car some today and it hasn't gotten any better at idle. It's too early to say for sure, but, I *tried* to see if the vibrations still occured at 3k rpm while driving (I said 4k in a previous post, I meant 3k) and I couldn't feel any at ~3k rpms. When I get to take it back on the...

well, I'm sitting here with hands covered in crap, and a good nights work done, got it all installed. I really wish I could say it was all better, but it's the same. It feels exactly the same. Reading through the manual for the ATI damper it says it may be out of balance until the engine...
