Hey Guys I seem to have 3 problems. Im not sure if they are related or not.

1st problem is that my running lights no longer function. When you turn your headlights on the tail lights turn on. Ive had the voltmeter and found that no current is getting to the lights. However the brake lights do work. Ive checked all the relays I can think of as well as all the fuses I could find that might have an effect without any luck.

2nd problem is my tachometer lights no longer work either. When they stopped functioning they flickered and went dark. They do not light up when you turn the switch for the head lights either. Although the various warning lights do work (check engine, SRS, etc).

3rd problem is my ECU is throwing a TPS low voltage code. I do have an MSD SCI ignition installed and that is functioning properly. My wiring connections have all been soldered and shrink wrapped for good connection. I havent replaced the TPS sensor yet since I am not yet convinced that is the problem.

Hopefully you guys can give me a little input from your experiences.

Thanks in advance.

 

Is your alternator in good shape?

 

yes the alternator is in good shape....
the car runs and drives as expected minus those problems.

Not to sound like a dick, but did you check the bulbs?.......also, did you actually try to change the headlight relay instead of just "checking" it?
What procedure did you use to check the relay?

Do the temperature control lights work? Check your dimmer switch.......make sure you don't have it down.......also check the voltage in various positions.

Seriously - take off your MSD ignition..........I've heard bad things about the MSD units. This could in fact be your problem.

 

I agree, the MSD Ignition sounds like the problem Put the factory one back in and just give it a try.
