Need some help



Not sure what the arcing was. I thought it was the ISV clicking really fast
so on Friday night I took it off and cleaned it out really good with some
carb cleaner. Waited until Saturday morning to make sure it was nice and dry
and put it back on. Didn't do squat, seemed to still click. Had my buddy
come by with a volt meter and checked out a few things. We unplugged the ISV
and there still was some fast clicking. Thought it was one of the grounds
from my plug wires. Got the Nology wires and the clicking seemed to be at
number three cylinder. Unplugged the cold start valve and the clicking
stopped. The motor almost wanted to start after that. So, with that we
plugged the ISV back in and left the cold start unplugged. Gave it a little
on the throttle-body and started up, Really lumpy idle but started and
smoothed out after a few minutes. Let it run for about 10 minutes and ran
great.

Not sure what was the deal but I plugged the cold start back in on Sunday
morning and started up like normal. Drove it over to Meisters last night for
the New Years Eve party and drove great. Lame thing is my Tach doesn't work
now and the poly motor mounts made my mirror fall off my windscreen. Got to
glue it back on today. Drove it again this morning and drives awesome.

I hate electrical systems. Never make sense.

thanks again!!
