no go guys.

sorry to be rude but do you guys not see that i said my battery wires are melting. It has nothing to do with the tps or anything with the intake manifold.



wastedyouth- i tried sanding them and connecting, no go. I think i have a majour electrical problem.

thanks anyways.

I really don't know how you were driving around without the TPS not plugged in or even throwing a code...

Take the starter and the battery out and take them to autozone and have them test both, it's as easy as that.

If they both work, then take it to a shop because you have bigger problems...

The lights inside the cabin draw very little off of the battery, unlike your starter. Just because the lights inside work could still mean the battery is dead.

no the tps was always plugged in. my bad guys

the battery is brand new. I took my starter out and tested it. no go

so i tested my other starter. no go either.

So i was doing it wrong or my jumper cables were messed. because they are all rusted and ripped

sounds like you got your cables crossed or somthin, like your power cable is grounded on the starter or somthing.

you may also want to replace your negitive cable, depending on how bad its melded.

integra_101

only the rubber is melted. the metal hasnt yet.

no wires look crossed. ill completly look into it 2morro with my buddy. ill look at his car to compare

Blahblah718293

the only thing thatll melt a wire that thick is one of the cables directly off the battery going to the wrong place, which wire and when it happens is somthing only you can tell us.

integra_101

like everything was fine. now it started to do this...wierd

Blahblah718293

after you switched a motor? theres quite a few things that can go wrong.

integra_101

ill check it out. maybe there is a sensor in the back of the block that is plugged in wrong. because the b18b1 only has one inlet for a sensor. and the b18a1 has two. so i have 1 leftover plug.

integra_101

no. after i swapped it. i drove it. so it just randomly stopped

thedb63

Try swapping the ecu also ! you might of fried that as well did u ever check the fuses or no?

Blahblah718293

i wouldnt change any parts until you stop melting wires, else those parts you replace may go back again right away.

integra_101

ya im not gona change my wires. ill burn it out till i find the problem.

Bad idea. The longer you drive like that, the more you risk increasing the problem and/or causing a new one. You need to take that battery out and trace your wires to some sort of a conclusion, which is most likely a fray in the wire, touching the body somewhere.

integra_101

car doesnt start. so no worries about the wire.

MugenEJ8Sedan

Eff, I forgot, you don't have the super rare steam-powered JDM b series? Haha. I assume you've traced the negative wire for damage and found nothing, correct?

integra_101

i followed the negative wire. no damage. it just runs from the battery to the chasis

MugenEJ8Sedan

Throw up a few pics, if you can.

integra_101

ill do that tomorrow. its dark out now(just about 1am) .

Im also gona try a few things tomorrow.

ill keep u this thread posted

integra_101
