I would just disconnect the battery for a few minutes and give it another go. Obviously double check all connections and make sure its not something simple, like plus wrong way round etc...

I'd say the ecu probably picked up the initial 'no eps' as it was disconnected!

Thanks George i'll try resetting the battery again, see how it goes. As for the burnt plastic behind my gruppe m's heat shield could that be a possibility? since the whole wiring bundle was scrubbing against the heat shield and i could see residue left behind.

Nah, it would have to rub through two wires and short them. If I remember, the wires are quite think and I dont think it would have cut through.

Do I need to unplug the red terminal too? or would negative be sufficient?

**Nepolian** · 04-06-2011 08:34 PM

Negative is fine!

No good George

taking it back to mechanics tmr, might give good performance and hannys a call and see what they can do about it too. car drives worse than a k24 swap eg without p/s...
