Hi guys, I've just finish putting a mini-me in my 90 civic. I put the ignition to ON and everything seems fine, fuel pump pressurizes, battery at 12.** volts, etc.
When I try to crank it, there's a loud "bang" from the engine bay and then no power wathsoever, battery voltage drops to 6 volts and there no more juice for accessories and lights

I wiggle then harness and take out/put back the neg on the battery and the whole charade starts again. I check my fuses and there all ok, the problem happens again and again.

I figured it was either the neg --> tranny ground or the valve cover --> body one.

Apart for the grounds any ideas on what it could be. This car has to run before snow falls (which is soon here...)

Thanks

 

Also forgot to mention I'm converted to OBD-1 with a blown90hatch harness
