my car has been running great for months, all of a sudden its poop.

i have 1996 kat, stepdown harness to nistune type 3, sti injectors

i was installing a roll cahe and when drilling up from under the car it looks like i niced a wire. does anyone know what it goes to?

the red wire with pink dot. goes to the dash harness?

the car runs and idles, but is really rich and if i try to hold a certain rpm is sounds like a 2 step. i can hit boost and it pulls good.

i found out i cant get the laptop to read ecutalk, or nistune. the problem went away and i could read it, but it came back.

later i found the eng/cont fuse was blown under the kick panel, how does my car run without it?

i tried a stock s13 ecu and i cant ecu talk it either, and it seems to run the same without driving it.

i event got another ecu and put the daughter board in it it still runs the same...

it seems to me like its running on the stock map. is my nistune dead or is there something else i can look for?

Is this forum full of idiots, or selfish unhelpful people?

Listen here, dickhead- you posted a pic of a nicked wire. Fix the fucking wire. It's larger gauge and red... Probably power for something.

"Up from under the car" can be a lot of places. How about about being more specific?

Hmm- car runs fine, you drill holes, now car runs like shit. Any flags going up yet?

Seems that maybe we aren't the idiots here. Use your head!

I knwo exactly what the problem is. Some "IDIOT" started drilling into the car without making sure there was no wires or anything else in the way. Hope that help narrow down your search.

This forum has plenty of knowledgeable people and a lot of idiots as well, what I can tell you is this forum is full of people who aren't going to help you if you keep running your mouth like that Florida...

I see that I ask for real help and no one even tries to help.

But the moment I talk shit, you guys can't wait to give me shit.

Hypocrites

There is 136,293 members on this forum. The "almost 100 views" were obviously ppl who could not offer assistance. That leaves 136,193 ppl to possibly have an answer. Dont be so quick to jump to conclusions let alone insult the ones your seeking help from. Best of luck on resolving your issue.

Enjoy your evening. :)
