Yes I did. I didn't prefer the butt dyno (I didn't notice the huge change everyone else seemed to notice) so I took it out in order to run normal fuel again. It's been safely sitting in my toolbox for a couple years. I will note, I always thought something was wrong with my P5. I even have a...

Super awesome shift knob. As the tow truck was enroute to pick up the car, I just couldn't let the knob go to the junkyard. I grabbed a chunk of oak, chucked it up on the lathe, turned a knob, and painted it with a sharpie. The buyer didn't notice... I mean- it didn't look TOO bad. ;) Shift...

Thanks and thanks!

Kartboy shift knob: $30 shipped to lower 48 states. SOLD MP3 Flashed ECU: $125 shipped to lower 48 states. SOLD This was flashed by SpicyorangeMSP as seen here. The ECU says "MP3 Flash #39" Shift knob could use a new sticker (though I'm not sure Kartboy still sells this) No knicks or...

Well that wasn't as bad as I thought. Only a couple hours and a $25 part.

Yep- that's not good. :( Still hoping I can replace the mount without taking apart all the wheel stuff. I wonder how hard it would be to deal with the spring compressor and everything all inside the wheel well. Sigh... these P5s are super fun but what pieces of s***... Thin paint, rusty bodies...

Bumping this ****OLD**** thread. While I haven't taken the hatch area apart yet to confirm, I'm getting crazy knocking/clunking noises from the rear left, and can hear all kinds of grindy sounds at the upper mount location when I bounce the car around and listen. I have the metal cup in place...

I know the parts I requested are worth next to nothing, but still curious if you have them available. Thanks!

Do you have the little plastic fuse puller that clips into the cabin fuse panel? Man, I freakin' lost mine today... Oh! And I also need one single nut used to hold the front struts in. This nut also holds the front strut bar in place. I know- so very random...

HUGE update here! After this many blown fuses.... ...It was time to find the damn problem. This is the bracket that was causing the problem. Also note the busted wire tire. Here you can see the rubbed wire harness. And here you can actually see the wire rubbed down to the copper...

Wow. I blame the heat wave. It must have gotten so hot under the hood to desolder my new solder connections. Like I said, when this issue first started happening, I noticed that cap had somehow had the wires pulled out of the harness. I added some extensions and soldered it all back up. But look...

Alright- I found the electrical diagram. I am not sure where you are seeing that this circuit supplies all that stuff. Perhaps I am looking at the wrong thing... I've included a screencap where I have traced the circuit in green. I'm seeing that this 10A fuse powers the main relay, a capacitor...

What!? The 10A cabin fuse is powering all that!? I'm really shocked by that. And gotta say- you are a lifesaver to at least give me some explicit places to look. I did get a new (used) P5 ECU in the mail today, installed it, and haven't had a failure yet- but that's not really saying anything. I...

Actually, I suppose a better question is if anyone knows where to find the wiring diagram for the car, or more specifically- for the ECU power circuit. I don't think there are wiring diagrams in the manual easily found online. Is there an electrical manual or something?

How does one go about tracking down a shorting wire?? Is there an actual method, or do you just start looking around?

Thanks for the advice everyone. I have not wiggled the wires around to try to force a a short, though I have disconnected the entire harness from the ECU and reconnected it. I also just scored (thankfully!!) a P5 (non-flashed) ECU from the FS section. I definitely agree that's the next step. I...

Payment sent for ECU.
