    #8 Fuse Sparks

    Long story short, i'm back and can properly dedicate time to this. All the EGR/smog gear has been removed. It was not done for performance purposes but much was damaged after a fire I had in 2009. I can't recall the name of it but there's an item you plug into your that tells your computer...

    #8 Fuse Sparks

    On a side note til I can get to running codes how about "Accel" TFI Modules? I'm not trying to save a buck, but when the MSD went out I replaced it with an Accel out of convenience; long story but I inherited 2. I'm starting to think I should order a true Ford TFI. It's not going to solve the...

    #8 Fuse Sparks

    Stock 91 Mustang This is in a nutshell and may not relate to one another.......... Had a friend install a stereo. Includes 2 amps in the hatch. Not much later the alternator catches fire. Learned 19 years too late that there was a recall on the harness and apparently the extra juice from the...

    #8 Fuse Sparks

    #8 Fuse, Sparks (Gremlin) I've been having a problem/gremlin/short i've been trying to track down and while pulling fuses went to replace the #8 Fuse and it arced. Well, I wouldn't have known it would arc if I wasn't able to hear it first with background music playing; not the cars stereo. And...

    Hatch/Trunk Mounted Battery Ground Location...

    I was curious between the 2.4v you mentioned on your test vehicle vs. the 3.8v's I read from mine; Key On Engine Off while connected. Sounds like the main thing is it's not reading 12v. So I past that test. Any idea what the meaning behind the oil light functioning properly and the car running...

    Hatch/Trunk Mounted Battery Ground Location...

    I'm leaning towards the battery charger thing as misleading. I typically will charge the battery while not connected to the car resetting the computer. Since ditching the charger theory/idea the battery is 12.+v every morning. Key One Engine Off: I checked the LtG/R wire at the alternator...

So after my mistake in cutting the old main power fire, not reusing it and also now running the Sense Wire direct from the alt. plug to solenoid is ok as well as the way I currently have the car grounded?

    Hatch/Trunk Mounted Battery Ground Location...

    Glad to hear it worked out for ya. I suppose it couldn't hurt running an additional ground. Would like to see what jrichker suggests too. Mine's a little different now that the battery is in the trunk, the oem alt. main power wire has been cut, the sense wire now wired directly from the alt...

    Hatch/Trunk Mounted Battery Ground Location...

    Battery in hatch, 3g, won't fully charge? (I think) I've sifted through 10's of threads and can't find or continually overlook is probably more like it but what i'm having problems with. From what i've read from your posts I may have messed up on the wiring in regards to the orange/black wire...
