Scanner help

RE: Scanner help

Ok I was checking the power to the left coil to the ICM and noticed the guy who had it before me ran a wire from his fan to a wire on the drivers side fire wall so the fan would run when the key was on, that wire ended up being the power wire to my coil, so I unhooked it and now the car runs like a top! All this headache for two crossed plug wires and a wire that was hooked up in the wrong place, not bad for a $350.00 car! I have a coolent question im gonna post it in general tech. Thanks guys!

"Still, and I repeat myself, FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR TESTS. Don't jump the gun. If you can't actually measure the resistance of the wire, at least do a careful visual inspection."

With the amount of electronics on cars nowadays, never underestimate the amount of wiring needed to tie all the components together. Somebody correct me on this if they've heard the actual stat.: One of my instructors told me he'd read that there's ~ 8 miles of wire in the average 2000 model year car!

That's the weak point in any system, obviously.

Excellent, Matt!

Hmmm... 8 miles... 42,240 feet... 8 lbs/1000ft(16 gauge)... 337 lbs! :eek:

I was told fiber-optic cables are lighter than copper wiring? :7

Yeah, but they break. And good luck trying to find where the break is...
