So sat. night i went out and the car was driving fine, got to a friends house after about an hour moved the car in the driveway and washed it.

1-2 hrs after washing the car, time to leave. I crank the car and nothing. Well I have a AFPR and gauge, no FP.
I also have a volt gauge hooked directly to the fuel pump (top of sending unit) and its shows 0.

After a while I find that the fuel pump side of the connector in the back of my 1g has "shorted" (doesn't work anymore), so we cut the power wire before the connector and wire it directly to the pump.

When I was cranking, about the 4-5 time i hopped out the car and my wife was in teh pass. side, said she was smoke I looked and it was a thin trail rising up, it was above the steering column.

I hadn't changed anything since driving the car the previous night, so I'm not sure what it could be.

Can I get some help figuring this out, I did a fuel pump rewire last night and now I get 14v at idle instead of 12.0-12.3, but I don't want to band aid what could be a serious issue.

I did a fuel pump rewire to get rid of the temp/get me home rewire, I now have 13.9 at idle instead of low 12s for voltage and pressure is still 43.5.

Now it just runs like ass, i swapped in a diff. MPI/MFI relay and it seems to run a lot longer than it did with the old one. It appears that my fuel trims will not update.

I also tested my ISC (ohm'd coils) and it was good.

I would agree, check the caps. Are your grounds good?

Same thing happened to one of the 1gs I had.

Any clue why it would happen? I had it recently serviced and the car now runs, just like crap and won't update the fuel trims.

I can still connect dsmlink and make changes. I'll see if i can find a way to test it.

yep sounds like bad caps or leaky CAPS.

I figured out it was a wiring issue, i'm gonna run the car with no plastics on the inside just incase, but all should be good now.
