today my throttle began to surge so i stopped and whenever i pushed the brakes all the electrical shut down. at this point i shut down the car and everything started buzzing especially the box in the center. I un plugged the battery for 5 min and then hooked it back and then it was fine. i recently took out the carpet and plastic s but i did not move any wires. does anybody know what the fuck happened?
 
That could cause it, if there's a high level of resistance between the chassis and the battery ground it'll cause all kinds of electrical nightmares. Corrosion will cause resistance every time.

Haha, I know what you mean. I had one kicking my ass all weekend, turned out to be that ground on the back of the ka that connects to the firewall.

Easy way to check, take a multimeter and check resistance from the negative battery terminal to pretty much any engine / chassis ground point - resistance should be no more than 15 ohms if I remember correctly, could be off. Either way, any high number means you've got somethin' loose around that point.
 
Cool, lemme know what you need. Send me a PM of what you're lookin' for, I've got a bunch of stuff laying around that I haven't posted for sale.

If you need somethin' I don't have I can get you a price through Enjuku as well.
