Electrical Gremlins almost all gone!!!
Posted by Jeff Cunningham (more from Jeff Cunningham) on Mon, 25 Nov 2002 11:41:16

Well, I spent this weekend working on the small gremlins. I think I solved all of them!

1. I changed the ground wire to 0/1 gauge wire and changed the fuse box lead to 4-gauge wire. The lines now eat only .5 volts instead of a full volt from before!

2. I found that my O2 sensor was not grounded properly. I'm not sure why, as the head is grounded okay, but after running another ground wire from the turbo to the front frame rail, the O2 sensor started reading more accurately and no longer was affected when the lights turned and a/c are turned on. (Usually the reading went from .8 to .6 when things were turned on)
