i just got done with my h22 and 5spd swap and everything was fine for a day. i was tucking my alarm back under my dash and something sparked for a second. now my car is having trouble starting, the radio cuts on and off, whenever i use my turn signals my clock fickers, and sometimes the gauges all lose power and drop to 0 like the car was off. sometimes whenever i start it up, the clock doesnt turn on and the gauges are all to 0. but when i give it gas ,it hesitates then dies. i try to start it back up, and it barely starts up and runs. also when im cruising around 3k and above everything seems to be lights up and working right , until i use the turn signals( things flicker, and cd player sounds like its skipping for that second. ive checked like all the fuse and they seem fine; battery and alt are fine; starter is fine.the only thing i could think of is the ignitor in the dizzy(internal dizzy, car is external). i thought it was my alarm because sometimes when i started the car up, the alarm would go off. i took out the alarm and the same things still happened.the car did have remote start and i had similar probs on my old motor( honda sed the dizzy leaked oil which caused a short in the ignitor), but i havent hooked the remote start back up. does anyone have any ideas? i checked the starter cables and alt and everything was tight. i took out my radio because it wouldnt even work driving around town and stopping( it would turn itself off then on). any help would be awesome. thanx

 

try and find the wire or whatever you sparked and see where it leads to..a helms would help.

 

well it was like the brainbox of the alarm and the metal support for the dash, which im assuming is ground. so i dunno. this is just the worst problem, but if anyone has any ideas or similar problems/solutions please let me know. thanx

another problem i have is sometimes when i have the ignition on right before i start it and turn on the turn signals, they dont work but sorta trip the door chime speaker and making this loud squeeling sound. would this be a main relay problem? also does anyone know if the ecu casing itself acts as a ground for the ecu?? thanx
