Did you do an intake at the same time? - MAF may be flipped ...

Check your fuses.

all fuses intact. could it be that icould have a blown ecu?


if one of my o2 sensor wires is messed up, could that cause this problem

yeh that could cause a short but will usually blow a fuse but you are sure they are all good?

 

[cplagge]

checking as i type. laptops ftw. Any other ideas? blown ecu?

 

[Laser03pro]

I doubt its the ecu I still think its most likely a fuse.

 

[cplagge]

found a blown fuse in the cabin. it is marked engine. zomg

 

[Laser03pro]

Sweet! I think it was caused from your o2 wires most likely.

 

[cplagge]

if it blows again then i will know for sure.

ok so i re-attached the o2 sensor, and i noticed it is touching the metal from the clutch slave? its causing a short. Will i throw a cel if the first o2 sensor is not in?

Yes that will throw a cel the first one is the most needed one also. Wrap the wires with some tape if you are getting metal to metal contact.

Okay, kinda repaired the broken wire on the first O2 sensor, and it no longer shorts and blows a fuse. I drove it around last night for about 20 mins, and was very happy. However, the next morning i start it up and a CEL comes on, so i fear I damaged the first sensor. going to replace it.

i'm doin mine wednesday!!! supposed to be here tuesday, goin in wednesday hope i dont have to use my warranty. i actually had to use it when the butterfly fell off b/c the VTCS screw fell off. and they didnt say anything about my intake or anything. all the guy said was he liked what i did w/ the intake. only made it easier for them. hopefully i dont have to call upon it again!! i only have til july anyway. i hope i dont stick 9000 miles on it by july...

it is a HUGE PIA to get the EGR pipe back on. it doesn't fit right and you have to bend it and play with it alot. I actually had to take the bracket off until it was on, and then put the bracket back on. along with bending and a lot of pushing until it finally lined up. wasn't fun.
