a week ago I just cleaned up the wiring on my sr. I just cut the unnecessary harnesses and just made it look cleaner. After that I drove it under boost twice. After that I have problems with bad throttle response like when i press the gas pedal the response is not good. Second of all I notice my temperature is lower than normal while driving. I hear misfiring and it sounds like my motor is jumping alot. Please help!! could it be the sparkplugs? i changed them about a month and a half ago. Could it be my coilpacks? Please help meeee :wtc:

clearly that was the problem since you cut that stuff and then you started having problems... what did you cut? the extra shit on the lower harness? you shouldnt be doin shit like that if you dont know what your doing. prob cut the wrong shit and you cut a wire on the coilpack harness or fuel injector harness part..

I didn't cut anything for the coilpack harness and fuel injector parts. Lol I know what these wires are for. I cut the horn since I don't have a horn. I also cut the ones for the ka wiring. If I cut the ones for coilpack and etc then it would barely even start and run stupid. My sr starts good and runs well now after I changed my sparkplugs. I just need a good tune thats prolly it.

part of your problem is maybe your thermostat is stuck open. this is why you coolant is lower then normal, which leads to you not reaching operating temperature. when the car is not at operating temperature it wont run the greatest.
other then that thats all i can say. i understand you cutting off stuff that you dont need from your harness but you have to be very very careful what you're doing. but since your car still runs , then you didnt fuck up royally.
