hey eveyone, I got a 91 crx dx, and ive been putting back together, and i have all my grounds etc. hooked up, but when i hook up the battery, i put the positive one on, then i go to put the negitive on, and it starts sparking very badley, and started welding itself to the cable, i left it on for a min, and my cable going down to my starter started to burn, can anyone help me out?

 

Something is crossed man. The positive is grounding out. No doubt about that, recheck everything because you did mess something up putting it back together.

 

alright thanks for the info

 

could elaborate a little more for me? I mean i know what that means, but ive been checking things all afternoon, and everything seem to be right. Could you give me any ideas on where to look if you would know. Its got me stumped.

 

check ur starter wire. and make sure u not accidently ground any wire that lead to (+)

 

thanks for the info, ive been checking all kinds of things thisafternoon but i havent found it yet, but ill go out and check somemore

 

Hey dude, you can run, but I am gonna chase you down!!!! Send me the springs I paid you for!! This guy, cbp_crx screwed us out of some money over at The CRX Community. SEND ME MY SPRINGS!! Anyone live near this guy?! I want the Neuspeed springs I paid for!!!

 

Bumping to catch this scumbag. He was online and wouldn't reply to my IM! Moderators, I need your help.

 

make sure you haven't gotten a wire under a bolt and tightened it down and caused it to ground out. Take your time and check every bolt that might have a wire pinched under it.

 

yeah man sorry to hear that but if your starter wire was burning then u need to replace that obviously but it could actually have something to do with what you're grounded to there are quite a few places that are terrible grounds. and as for the guy wasting his time in this thread whining about springs, make your own thread about it then whine dont thread jack when this guy is trying to get an answer to a question.

 

check your 10mm nut on the alternator make sure its not touching the housing of the actual alternator there should be another spacer/nut underneath it or else it will ark.

 

you sure you are not grouning your starter's positive wire because you say that everytime you connect the battery you starter wire goes out and melts there your problem man you might accedently be grounding your starter wire. make sure and please check that your have your wire of the starter nut 12mm going to the battery or just getting positive. i mean if something else was the problem than it would show itself. dont you think. so just check man not saying your stupid but just do it.
