Hell... Use the fuse block, relays aren't as critical anymore. UNLIMITED lines if each get's it's own fuse.

 

I read it man and if I were him I would be pissed at myself. They could've stopped! Race was over

 

agreed.. they are all a bunch of fucktards imo..

 

What are symptoms of a clutch slipping?

 

When you're applying a lot of torque through the clutch and the power isn't continuing to the wheels. Say you're in second gear at like 3k RPM and then you punch it and it revs to redline immediately while the car slows down. Watch a couple youtube videos, my stock clutch started to slip at like 160k

 

On LED's I totally agree, I just have multiple HID's that are wired to a single relay so I can use a single switch. @snowtank is probalby right, smartest to keep them all separate just in case I blow a fuse I dont lose power to more than one switch

 

Hmm. I've had this issue and I don't know where to start. It's not a slipping clutch then. I have a random power loss at higher rpms (2.5k+). It's not all the time but it's frequent, about 2-3 times a week or so. I've noticed if I easy into the gas when I get into it, it's less frequent. But if I just wot it, then it bogs down and basically stops between 2.5 and 3 rpms.

Anyone have any idea where to start?

 

How new are your spark plugs and wires?

 

I'd start with checking plugs and filters.

 

I would say throttle position sensor or MAF, similar conditions and this guy had a bad MAF. Most of the times plugs or wires would throw a check engine light for random misfire

Does anyone know how to install an aftermarket trailer 7 pin connector? I broke mine off and I can not find a proper diagram for the life of me.

Colors may not match, but standard function by terminal.

 

Yeah I know what the terminals are but because the colors don't match I have been having a hard time. I think i figured it out though.. I have a trailer hooked up right now and I believe the trailers right flasher doesn't work. Which would have been nice to know. Everything else seems to be working though. Thanks for trying though

 

Got a test light or multi-meter?

 

Unfortunately no, the one I had would not read the low voltage :/. but technically, if I turn on the right blinker and find the wire (other than black) that sparks when it touches the ground wire, wouldn't that be it?

 

Maybe you had it on the wrong settings?

That's what I'm saying... if you use a fuse block for each line, there's not even a need for a relay for < 10 amp circuits. Now if you're doing Halogens, and crap like that... better relay up or the wires, and especially the switch are going to get pretty warm!!! LED's... I'd prob relay up anything over the 32" just for the efficient circuit contact efficiency. Of course... IMO

 

Haha. I made that face too. I went uhaul and hooked it up to one of their trailers. Looks like this trailer has some wiring problems itself. Appreciate the help and the laugh

 

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't have exact dates/miles of when I replaced the spark plugs but it was mid last year, I'm guessing about ~10k miles ago. The wires were replaced in December when I had the misfire issue. I also just replaced the fuel filter in December when I did the wires. I also cleaned the MAF sensor last summer, just cleaned the throttle body(looked like it had never been cleaned before, entire paper towel was black) and I believe checked the resistance on the throttle positioning sensor(the one that's on the throttle body). The only things I haven't really done is change the air filter(its pretty dirty, but I cleaned it last summer and December), check the fuel filter and change the coil packs. I'm pretty positive the fuel filter and coil packs are still the original as the wires and fuel filter were the original. I am at about 237k miles. I am still throwing that lean bank 1 code. I do have a new cat.

I'll check out that thread, thanks JD.


Edit: Kinda funny. I'm throwing the same lean code, P0171. Should I just go with replacing that? I also haven't done the o2 sensors, but the PO did.

 

looking at getting a CB for some coms before may and the expo...

that being said whats everyone running CB wise,

Brand
model
ect
