you have a pm, sir.

I know this may seem a little odd, but check to see if the alternator is touching anything metal on the back... mine was touching my radiator and was making it cut out really bad after it warmed up.

bump!

Read the for sale thread...

It just isn't the kind of car I want. I'd prefer a shadow or something a little less sporty.

Well, I taped some cardboard to the side of the radiator in between the alternator and it and then took off the ground and it stopped doing it... Looks like that was the problem... dunno why...

REDO on my trade thread since I fixed the car... stupid grounding problem...

I bought this car from amcpacer about 2 months ago and haven't driven it a whole lot.

Its got a lot of mods and it...

You're telling me... I thought it was the strangest thing ever... My dad suggested it and I was like "...what?" then I did it and it stopped completely.. Sooooo oh well! :D

Yeah, I just got back from driving it all over town and throwing it around a bunch to see if the problem came back and it didn't :)

Guess this means I'll be getting some money out of the car when...

Gee its nice having a working car again :)

I grounded the radiator to the chassis and it stopped doing it :)

WOOHOO!!

Ooooh I haven't done that yet. I'll do that today after school. :)

It seems like its loosing spark more than anything... when it bucks and I put the clutch in, it'll rev to 2k and stay there for a while and then slowly drop. Not sure if that's just the computer...

Ok, this is some hilarious stuff!!! The freaking car can't turn right! its the funniest thing I've ever seen. It resulted in me going the wrong way around the roundabouts in my apartment complex...

There are two ground wires attached to that bolt and the thicker one that I'm assuming is coming from the fuel rail looks pretty good... I'll check again when its light again... I kinda fell asleep...

You mean the little ground wire that comes out of a 4-wire connector?

There's a LOT of bare wire showing on that one. about an inch and a half or so.

haha, that's going from one end of the spectrum to the other XD

I'm not sure that would be a good deal on my end.

Ok so! Its A LOT LOT LOT better than it was before. Don't have to be nearly as careful starting and I can even go full throttle down the street without it doing it. *PS* I took the computer out of...

Could that be my problem? The ground strap from the intake to the chassis is torn up pretty good and doesn't seem to be holding...

I have some advice for you but it isn't about the car...

No offense, but its really hard to read what you're typing when your sentences all run together. Is it possible you could try to type a...

Lebaron would be good as long as it was loaded... if I'm getting a heavy car like that, I'm gonna want it to at least be comfortable :)

Thanks, but something like a turbo mini or a shadow would more suit my lifestyle :/

I bought this car from amcpacer about 2 months ago and haven't driven it a whole lot. 2 weeks ago I ran into a strange electrical problem.. the car bucks and loses power when you put too much load on...

And, yes, that's part of the distributor/ignition wire stuff...

Fixed

Do you have AIM mini? I'm online right now if you wanna try to talk me through stuff.

OK so!

so there're a couple spots where there's a splice that doesn't look so good and also, a lot of the bare wires are...
