manofthehour Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Ok so tonite I put in my 0/1 gauge wiring into my car. I went from the engine bay thru the firewall and thru the kick panels. I swear I didn't hit anything. I try to start my car. Starter turns, engine doesn't start. There is only one thing I could have done to do ANYTHING to this car. I used a different firewall. I used the one on the driver side. I first stuck the firewall with a flathead screwdriver to make the first hole. There are two rubber sealer things that the screwdriver went thru. Then I used a 1.5" chisel to make the hole big enough for the wire. Both times I went to the inside of the car and saw the end of the tool. I didn't force the either tool hard enough to tear a wire and I don't believe I did. Any ideas on whats happening would be appreciated... Kinda bummed out that this happens a week after I install second skin. My car is an 05 camry and the temperature gauge int he car next to the clock isnt working also if that makes any sense...

Maxim Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Whats the battery sitting at voltage-wise? Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofthehour Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 i would double check and make sure you didn't hit any wires. I will in the morning. It's too dark and I don't feel like putting a bajillion lights up. But here's how it goes. There's two rubber plate type things. Then the bunch of wires going thru the rubber plate things are wrapped in their own rubber protection thing and both the screwdriver and the chisel went thru both rubber plates too easy for me to have hit a wire. but again ill check in the morning.

sqsux Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 sounds like your battery might not be hooked up all the way, or it's dead. Quote Start out boxy, shape as you move along. Dc Audio Team Fur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofthehour Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Whats the battery sitting at voltage-wise? its the same battery that's been in the car for a while. But i did receive a yellow top and put that in today but only for 5 minutes then took it out and put the old one back in. The car started and ran for like 3 hours after that. turned it off and started it like 50 times. then installed the wire and tried to crank it but engine wont start.

manofthehour Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 (edited) sounds like your battery might not be hooked up all the way, or it's dead. But everything electrical works... starter turns, but engine doesn't start. And everything I took off the battery when i changed it went back on Im positive. and the connections are tight.

manofthehour Posted June 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Either loose ground. Bad bat. Or loose connection. I'm really drunk those so sorry But the STARTER TURNS... if the battery was bad, dead, or not connected well would everything electrical still work (subs, amp, lights, starter)????

parton226 Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Some newer car's pcms need so much voltage to actually start up. I think it's 11.x, I can't remember lol. Quote parton226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
