engine died

[blkcrshr]

Long time lerker, first time poster. Just wanted to say thanks for the great site and all the info about the wiring harness issues with my 96. I had a dead engine/no ECU problem and it turned out to be a shorting out of the wiring harness near the firewall as described on this forum. If anyone ever has some hesitating,"machine gunning" relays or an all out engine quit ,check that area of the wiring harness where it runs along the top of the valve cover and starts to go up the firewall. Mine was rubbing on the shoulder of a nut that had come loose and shorted out/burned up a few wires.

The correct answer is long but the short answer is that you drive a chevy and are on the wrong forum.

Wrong

My first auto was indeed a chevy. A 1968 Chevorlet Impala Station Wagon. My second car was a 72 Mercury Monterey with a 400. Both fun cars but my third car was a 1982 Toyota Corolla Wagon 3TC. Very badass inline 4banger hemi style. I drove that car into the ground.

Toyota man since then.
