the ground from that to the firewall caused brent's to do that.... and it was cause he painted his IM... just needed to sand down the paint from the ground connection on the IM and the firewall.... i guess:)
hmm ill give that a shot its actually worse now too.. the a/c doesnt have to be on and it acts up all the time. the ground that the guy who had the car before me apparently has in there is like a 10 or 12 gauge wire im going to actually upgrade that and the power wire to like a 8 or 6 for now since i already have it from my last car.. so ill see about getting more ground wire and trying that.

ya i have no ****ing clue to as what is causing it..grounding for the amp is fine if i cant get it in to the dealer this week i might just tear out all the previous amp wiring and take it down a few more gauges to see if that might help but it seems it does it even with the amp gain killed. but the amp is only 460 watts.. i mean im upgrading everything here within the next few months as in new alternator and a yellow top and some heavy gauge stereo wire to make sure theres no incidents like this when i get the 1500watt pg amp put in for the new subs.

at this point i just want it resolved because of the car almost stalling in the middle of it and jerking violently thankfully it hasnt been at any speed higher then 45 since usually on the freeway i turn the a/c off at night and have the sunroof open.
just a thought, but if ur cars jerking real hard, check for any leaks after ur MAF....like see if any of the connectors are loose or anything...

already done it goes along with the electrical problem it jerks hard because the entire power system completely goes off then comes back on meaning even the ECU shuts itself down for a moment. lastnight when i dropped a friend off i put the car in reverse to back out of a spot it started doing the wanting to stall again with the lights flickering.. i think today or tomorrow ill call a dealer and see about getting it in to have it looked at.
 
The first time i see an old friend of mine in months and were talkin tellin stories i mention that i hang out with aaron and mandy and some of the tiburon guys and all the sudden he starts dissen on u guys. I tried to defend as much as i could but come on thats so stupid. First off dis a car you know nothing and on top of it they are my friends. WTF I was pissed then aaron and mandy showed up and aaron wanted to get into it but another guy stopped it cause he didnt want **** to start. So messed up and Chris you already know him hes the guy that hates imports. And is a *******

Mike shoulda kept his mouth shut cause I wanted to see if Zach was all talk or if there was action behind those words he was spurting out. He thinks that because he went to a "special" school to learn about cars he knows everything. :3_fyou He still acts like a child I think. All Aaron did was confront him, ask him why hes been dissing on his Tib and the first thing out of Zachs mouth is talk about fighting. Wtf? :3_headsha Sorry Randi, but I dont understand why you wanted to hang out with them lol. Hope we didn't interrupt anything. I found it hilarious that Mike put his shirt on when we got there...It was like he wasnt wearing it to try and woo you. Hahahahahahahaha. Anyways. Im done venting. :3_chubby:

ill double check again when i try the grounding idea from the IM to firewall. it might of come loose when i changed the filter on it from moving the pipe around trying to squeeze the filter on. so ill check on that because i checked it before i replaced the filter. i might know whats causing it.. it threw a code a while back from the MAF pretty much saying it was bad i had it cleared and it never popped back up. if so the dealer should be able to take care of it.. lol i bought the tib from midway which i should of learned my lesson from the cav because they were constantly screwing crap up on it when they fixed a a/c switch they shorted out my fan on the cav which in turn caused it to overheat. so one of the service guys probably mutilated something on the tib trying to fix a issue.. so i need to get ahold of a dealer for it any recomendations? lol i also need a new windshield washer fluid bottle i went to fill mine for the first time since i bought the car and it all came pouring out the bottom.
