So I was driving, waiting for a girl to finish up so I could take her out, when I took a corner kinda hard. After that corner, my car just suddenly stalled out while I was moving. I was like oh shit, and I pulled over. I popped open my hood and my Clutch fan had eaten my wiring harness to the MAF. LOL. I was like fuck, my fault, should have made sure everything was secure. I looked at it and thought it would be a easy fix, as only two wires to the MAF were cut.
My friend took me to autozone got some 16 gauge power wires, which were a little too big, to connect the power and the ground. I was pretty sure that would fix it because that was the only problem other then the power steering belt coming off, that I could physically see. I also checked all the fuses. Well, wired that shit back up and It would still only crank and not start. Then I was talking to a fellow 240 owner when he reminded me that with the MAF not working it should just be a rough start. When I have the key in the ignition, I can hear the fuel pump working. When I go back home this weekend, I will check the spark and the fuel pump to make sure they are working for sure, but honestly I think they are ok. My car was running perfect until that harness got eaten up. Oh yea, I tried to start my car in first and second gear, did not work.
Honestly, I think its just a stupid electrical problem. Any suggestions to what I should check first? I was searching and I Read something about a ECT? This blows, I kinda have a lot of shit to take care of this weekend along with the fourth. :-/ Thanks.
