Just recently i changed my whole throttle body with valves included hoping to solve my dieing while taking foot off the gas problem. Well today i realised my battery was dead so i boosted it, it kept idle when in park. When i tried to close my hood she died immediatley.

I took a good look and my positive battery post/terminal are touching the heat insulation on the underside of my hood, what do you think would be the problem fellas?

 

sounds like the battery you bought is too big first off ...

 

So you think that would be why my engine shuts off when i close my hood? Thanks for the respond btw.

 

If it's hitting the positive it's a dead short ... BAD BAD thing

 

^God damn, Well i JUST put the battery in a couple days ago and jsut tried starting it just recently when i switched my valves. So im hoping nothing really happened cause i jsut tried once.

Out of curiousity would could have went wrong with this dead short? Blow my CPU?

 

more likely destroy the battery or arc weld /burn the hood

 

ahh, i see i see. Well thanks for the warning.

So is it agree'd that is probably what is shutting my car off?

 

good guess

 

Alright thanks for the help BV.

OFFTOPIC : Have you taken you car 1/4 mile yet, if so what was your time?
