    Need help finding short

    Its a draw not a short i believe. Would think a short to power or short to ground would blow fuse or burn wires. When you are checking with the light hooked up in series between neg terminal and neg wire make sure all your accessories are off. When you were in car did you have the door open...

    Help with figuring out my Code?

    yeah what is the complaint now? Check all your bat connections, if it aint tight it aint right!!! Check the starter wires. Check for loose grounds they can be a nightmare and have you chasing in the wrong direction. My post was way late

    Mizu radiator, fan shroud kit

    Efans have pros and cons compared to mechanical. Dyno proven to free up extra HP, not a lot mind you but some when installed in place of mech fan. But then again you gotta think about the electronics if something malfunctions that extra HP cost ya a bhg. I think depending on use of vehicle is...

    So confused. Turbo, pvc system, rings?

    i think the vacuum is dependent on engine tolerances build specs and so on. dont think there really is a spec of what it should be, do know a good well running engine should be around 14+ at idle. would like to know more myself though. Not sure if too much vacuum on decel is a bad thing or not...

    So confused. Turbo, pvc system, rings?

    ARP Head Bolt Issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Thats what i figured, and the op stated he did not have any leaks? So that would mean that his gasket may have resealed or never fully unsealed from from loose bolts? The head should come off for good measure and to be safe, but it sounds like a circulation problem. Good to know about german...
