I recently got my jrsc on my gsr and well I was running lean and then just got a inline fuel pump and drove it hard a few times and all was good.
I then stepped up to a tl-s and stepped on the gas and sounded like my clutch was slipping bad. Kinda like I was in neutral and I was just reving up the motor. Then I heard some weird sounds at high rpms while the clutch was slipping.
Right after that happened. My speedometer stopped working. What the heck is wrong here??? The car sounds like **** too after that happened. I barely got it to drive home last night. All the lights in my gauge cluster then starting coming on and radio shut off...kinda like there wasn't enough power going around. My windows would barely roll down nor up and headlights were more dim. I drove it home and shut it off and then tried to start it back up and it wouldn't. This morning i started it up and it worked. The car still doesn't sound normal. Does anybody know what could have happened? Thank you.

 

who did the install? and beating on a car when it is running lean = asking for blown motor!.

check the alternator. the + wire may have been installed incorrectly. check the belt tension. check battery connections.

 

Umm does anbody here charge their battery?

 

i tried it once, but the damn thing leaked everywhere... hehe

 

Check your belts! Could be the alternator belt.

 

That's what I was thinking.

 

I "third" that

 

If it was the alternator belt...would the car still have run?

 

Or it could be the blower belt. And yes if it was the blower belt the car would still, run. Its just that you will not get any boost and so your car drives like crap.

 

Ok say it was the blower belt.....
Then what would cause the battery from draning out on me like that? and making my gauge cluster go all weird and my speedometer not to work?
Thanks

 

I broke an alternator belt and the car throttled like **** and soon died. Good luck!

 

It started back up th enext morning htough...hmmm
