Disclaimer: I recently swap my own 3sgte motor with the acception of the wiring (DG Perf) so i have a pretty decent amount of knowledge when it comes to cars. now with that said.....


earlier i was in my drivers seat taking off the plastic pieces around the radio because i wanted to check the room for 3 guages. Therefore i took the plastic piece that holds the cig lighter off and to do that you need to disconect its wire from behind as well as another random plug next to it. I do a little measuring for about 15min. then put everything back. 1/2 hr later i get ready to leave and jump in the car again. I put it in first gear and try to take off.... the thing nearly died on me. I really had to gas it to keep it on and to get it moving about 4and half revs, and the thing bearly moved, like it was riding on 2 pistons or something. Naturally i pop the hood and look for any loose wires,sensors,vac hoses, etc, and everthing looked normal. tried it again and the same thing happed AGAIN... So i back track to what i did in the cabin, thinking maybe i knocked a ecu wire loose or something, and noticed i didnt plug the lighter back in or the random plug next to it. I put them back in and what do you know... the problem GOES AWAY! are you freakin kidding me? the lighter screws things up? or is that random plug an extremely critical piece that needs to be pluged in? someone please enlighten me as im always eager to learn. smile.gif

thank you for reading this long story and thanks ahead of time for any responses
