My fiance has a 94 civic with a turbo don't know what kind of engine but at this point that doesn't matter... a couple of months back someone broke into it to try to snatch his turbo timer and i think his air fuel thing (gotta love technical talk lol) anyway when they did that they pulled some wires apart and they couldn't get them out so they ran off with some odds and ends.. ANYWAY to get to the point ever since then his car has been acting funny after we re did the wires.... the car will just shut off down the road , but more than anything the lights and electronics shut off and then they just come back on again. We replaced the alternator and that wasn't it we don't think its the battery ( but my dad thinks a cell or two is bad in it) so whats left is a bad ground right? thats what we're guessing but i was posting here to see if anyone else had advice on to what could be wrong with it other than some bad wiring. any advice would help.
ground doesn't seem far fetched...he's friends with dauber...have dauber look at it
right now thats not realistic daub is workin crazy hours and he's not able to come up here long enough to figure it out and we're not to sure about the car making it to VA hense why we're trying to fix it on our own
i'd say ground wire as well.
**Wow, you know what? One t ime, I got a phone call, from a telemarketer! And they were like OMGWTFBBQ do you wanna buy car insurance? And I was like LMAOTTYLOMGWTF no! This ish is crazy!!!**
thanks guys, i think we have it figured out, He tore apart the dash and started retaping wires and all that kinda stuff it seems to be running a little better but not perfect so i think we got it, thanks again for what advice or opinions we got!
He doesn't have all those electronics spliced into one place does he?
I ran a few too many things off of a fuse tap once and had my gauges randomly resetting themselves/etc.
Its not the gauges themselves thats the problem, all of the lights electronics and the whole car shut off periodically. On a few times, the car itself wouldnt shut off and just the lights would. I dont know how the wires are ran so i cant really answer that question
