I like the secretive thing, it tests my car/people knowledge! It's a good thing wires are super easy to fix.

Its to bad the inside of the EMS is not as easy to fix.

And even then, yes fixing it is whatever. But, as usual, the hardest part is answering why and how it happened, and preventing it from occuring again.
John, go to target yet? I'm going in a few minutes, I can double check/verify for ya if you want.

The only thing that makes sense right now is the main starter wire had an issue, the car still ran up to the point the fire burnt threw the main harness, just above it, shorted out wires and then the car died.

No issues with any injector or seal leaking at all, on your made rail? I've seen even the SMALLEST of imperfection, metal nick, torn seal, etc leak. But, knowing you, i'm beating a dead horse, and you have already checked that all.

I will leave the fuel rail on when I pull the SMIM off and test the fuel rail for leaks with an air hose and 135psi. And I suppose your Target comment is to piss scheides off?

No, I meant what I spoke to you about on Sunday, dealing with fire extinguishers?

My bad for saying anything before I knew exactly what happened. I will take some picks when I get home. The main engine bay harness under the intake manifold started on fire. I am not sure where or why it started on fire, but lucky for me someone in a truck driving by had a fire extinguisher on hand.
I should have waited until I tore into what happened before I posted or said anything.
Simply 'idk wtf happened, small fire on the wiring harness under the SMIM today but I got it out' would have been dandy ;) All I ever post is shit I know, if its unknown, I admit it and hope I figure it out. :)
Sorry I gave you a wedgie Chris. MY condolences to your cornhole. I guess I forgot the seriousness of a build thread and posting to-the-point comments, when I look in my thread, and it's trash ;)
STFU swifty, it was two full pages of nothing but half-ass posts. That doesn't even happen in your thread, people actually give a fuck about your car (even though you try not to) so they're trying to give you more advice that you'll ignore. No one got banned over it or anything. :P

Hard when you know absolutely zero from the comments, I like my suggestion about the front clip falling off the best so far! Wiring...fire.....lame!

Apparently its swifty's half-ass ed comments I'm peeved at because he went ahead and laid down another one. Like purposefully posting the first half of a response to a brief conversation that was had (offline) so people know that they talk to each other in real life...swifty doesn't realize that he's doing it wrong, and ends up confusing himself:
No, I meant what I spoke to you about on Sunday, dealing with fire extinguishers?
Cause that's what I'd assume you'd look for after a fire at target, but just FYI I don't think that any of the ones you find at target are rated for automotive use. Get a real one made to go in a car unless its primary purpose is to sit in a garage 'just in case.'
Sorry for the rants, just idk guys pretend we're posting on the internet or something, no code-words needed...just tell it like it is, include some pics, maybe some references to where said info came from or what the shit you're about to mention is in relation to...you know, like we're talking to each other. Basic grammer and shit. You know, the stuff that helps set this site apart from some of the others out there? I'm trying here. Help me out a little please :)

Chris, It was a discussion I had with John on Sunday when I traveled up there to pick up my AEM. You can purchase automotive fire extinguishers from target, which we where talking about. I didn't want to flat out say all that happened, since it's not MY car to reveal info about. I merely told Matt that he was wrong about the tranny being an issue. The target thing I was not confused about, nor was it a slam at you.

Yup see my post in your thread, thats awesome they carry auto-specific ones now! No slam taken, just saw one explode once that wasn't auto rated... :P
