Same thing happened to me when I was tucking my Celica. I came down to the garage once to find a big puddle of gas just sitting underneath my engine bay.

Just like theoretically switching the front MC line to the back and the back to the front... Looking in the Helms to try and figure out now but figured I would ask.

Thanks

EDIT: OK, I'm thinking it does not matter so I am going to go off that... If someone knows otherwise PLEASE let me know asap so I don't wast my time bleeding and all that for the bias to be off. Here is an image for reference. Just by looking at the design of the prop valve I am thinking it doesn't matter.

yea exactly i did it with a bead roller its basically 2 wheels that have many different shapes and effects and you clamp the metal be tween the wheels as they roll it shapes the metal i did it in about 5 minutes freehanded as ive said im just kinda winging it
but if a person took there time they could do any number of intricate patterns

that added alot of strength to the peice or at least resistance to flexing thats why i did it a flat panely has no torsional strength

i dont think extending wires will really have any effect on the starters engagement,since the starter work of of the ground that comes off of your ignition switch.</TD></TR></TABLE>

the starter has a battery possitive to spin the flywheel, and the starter relay sends a 12v signal to the actuator, not a ground signal

Default Re: (.john.)

Can anyone help me with my problem:

hey, well i replaced my oddyssey 680 w/ a Energizer battery in the trunk. It has 560 CCA and should have no problem starting the car. Although I keep getting stuck in gas stations and anywhere I stop the car...


car runs at 14.0 VOLTS (apexi RSM voltmeter)
and battery reads 11.8 volts when the car is in the ON position but when i try to crank it, it drops down really low and doesn't even crank...

**Edit** I went to autozone and the battery tested out fine... WTF***

Could Main Relay be an issue?


SOMETHING IS DRAINING MY BATTERY!?!

this is how i have it set up

I had a similar problem; I also had relocated my battery in the same way you have;


My problem was the earth in the engine bay; I ended up upgrading the earth straps; within the bay; and also used two straps off the negative terminal in the "trunk"

solved.

well; for me that is....

here's my slight wire tuck. Nothing over the top, just clean and simple (i think)
