my batter is beat to shit and i read online that a new alternator should get a fresh start with a new battery. but last time i had my ka alternator rebuilt, i'm pretty sure i used the same battery (which is this one i'm using now). this was at least 5 years ago. guess i'm just due for a change

so a little bit of an update. i cleaned everything out as much as i could, and let the car sit for a while. the other day i jump started the car and after a few moments she started right up! i sat in the driver's seat with a fire extinguisher just in case. well as i pull the jumper cables off...

Eh... Thanks y'all. I'll start peeling off the layers and we'll see how it goes. Once I get the dash off just degrease/spray off all the wires or does that leave flammable residue? Was I going in the right direction with the maf cleaner?

So as the title suggests, my autometer oil pressure gauge ruptured and leaked everywhere. It was mounted on the a pillar and seems to have taken a route into the dash. I don't think it's gotten into the fuse box, but the wiring above the pedals gives the occasional drip. I sprayed MAF cleaner in...

i had a similar issue. talk to steve "INFECTED." he helped me out with all that. I would get into gear and attempt to move forward only to stall out like i can't drive stick. reverse would work and idle worked fine, just all the forwards gears. it was basically a whole bunch of bad grounds...

No. If it was there would be a third line going to the abs unit on the other side. I think. That's what mine looked like. What's your old one look like? Should have the same amount of lines if it's not abs...

which firestone did you finally find? the last couple i went to either couldn't get me on the rack or didn't want to mess with a modified susp.

I had the same problem. Well, sounds the same. Torque everything down with weight on the wheels. I used ramps. My car is real low as well so I had to use a jack to get them onto the ramps. I'm not sure where I heard it from but to torque things down properly you've got to have them in the...

the end of the article says something like reporters doing their jobs...blahblah. so stay out of the way when soldiers do their jobs. shoot with gun > shoot with camera.

STP Motorsports does alignments. I haven't had mine done there but I did have them build my engine (sr20) and I love em. Stephan is the guy. Great work!

As some may know, I've been under some electrical gremlins in my SR'd hatch for a good week and some change now. Luckily Steve (INFECTED) came through with a couple of beers and a soldering gun and solved my problems in an hour and some change. He took the time to triple check everything, ran...

Let's just chalk this up to stupid shit. A bunch of bad/loose grounds/wiring and Steve (INFECTED) had her going better than new. Another thread will be up later when the beers cleared outta my head but that guy is the truth and he's chill as hell. If you find this thread havingthe same issues...

this may be a dumb answer but after you replaced the maf did you unplug the battery? maybe your car used to compensate for an old maf and when you replaced it, ur ecu still compensated. try that if you didn't already.

me too buddy
