First ,please excuse my bad english ,i'm from spain hehe.
The other day i install glow gauges on my del sol VTI(b16a2 engine), and trying to get a positive and a negative for the inverter i made a ¿short?(when a positrive and a negative touchs) and i got no radio or clock.Now that is fixed when i change the backup fusible on the engine bay fuses.Later i stop a moment for buiying something on a store , and the car didnt start until trying it 3 o 4 times...a pair of days later my father trying to park the car , stall?(when the engine shutdown because you release the clutch very quick) it , and the car didn't start until he try it like 10 times, and when he could start it the car it was like runing on 3 pistons ,with an horrible noise , without power , etc...something very similar happened to me 3 days ago , and after that i'm not using the car.The car has also a little problem with the idle , which in the stops and traffic lights it goes down and down until if you dont press the gas it shutdown.I take a look at the engine bay fuse box and the "ig" fuse is blown.I'm going to replace it and take a look at what happens..
what could be the problem? what the **** did i touch?
thank you very much.

 

That's your problem right there.

 

hahaha i like them,with the standar gauges in the dark i have to do a effort to see the numbers.

 

Try disconnecting the gauges. If the problem goes away then you have your culprit.

 

i will do that,but i think that nothing is gonna happend,i change the main relay and the car got a bit better,but in a stop it stalled and when i start it ,it was running on 3 pistons again...then it stalled another time and when it started it was running fine but with a slighty strange noise..
WTF could be?
thank you.

 

I don't see how installing gauges incorrectly could cause your engine to only run on 3 cylinders.
Are you sure the gauges are your problem?

 

If it sounds like ur running on 3 cyclinders...then do a spark test...or leave the car running and pull each wire off the plugs (DONT SHOCK URSELF!!) and see if the idle changes, if it does, plug it back and try the next one until u see if u have a problem.

 

I think the biggest problem associated with installing glow gauges is making the car a ricer.

 

are you meaning that with the car started i take out each spark wire to see if is that the problem?but if i take out a wire of the plug its gonna run on 3 cilinders anyway....

 

Yes, pull one plug wir off at a time while the engine is idling. If the idle drops, you know that cylinder is firing. If you get one that you pull and the idle does not drop, then you have identified your dead cylinder.

 

mate , you are god,i didint think that, but the problem is that when this happens ,happens for a short time,and then the car stalls...i have a spark that had oil in it, could be that?.
The car didnt bring any code when i diagnosticate it.
thank you very much.

 

If a spark plug had oil in it then yea that could be ur problem...need to check and see if ur spark plug gaskets are causing the leak. Oil on ur spark plug = no bueno!

 

i will check it mate,i didint think that too , thank you very much.Aceite en las bujias =bad ejejej

 

Exactly, check the plug tube seals. It is most likely worn and it is a very simple fix. If you replace one, just replace them all. They are cheap.

 

the car , dont starts now,it stalls at idle , and runs on 2 o 3 cilinder,with owfull sound and like a bad burned petrol smell i dont know what could be...tomorrow i will check all the ignition sistem,and if it is not the problem ,i will have to take out the head...
thank you

 

you ever figure out ur problem??
