Default car has dead cyl when negative is connected
As soon as I disconnect the negative it goes away what could this be?

Car only runs fine with negative disconnected

Trolling hard?

You're telling me your car starts with the negative terminal disconnected?

You MUST provide all pertinent information about your car and engine. Failure to do so may result in thread closure.

Sounds like the engine stops misfiring after the ECU is reset.

What CEL codes are thrown?
