    No, but we used a jumper wire from the positive terminal to the relay and that should have fixed it but it didn't.

      or check joshs CPS? borrow one locally
      I'm going to call the shop since I thought a few more pnw people would help out.

      Trever just left, and will be back on Wednesday.

      I got a cps from Trevers old m20. I didn't think Josh would let me mess with that if I couldn't borrow his ecu haha.

      Oh how I <3 my car.

      :(

          As from this thread, yes. It has less wear than my old one.

            Idk. It's hard to explain. You have to position it just right so it gets the correct amount of ohms. It's allllllll goofy n stuff.

              its was 500$ JUST for them to tell me whats wrong.
              No, his cps reads correctly while using the multimeter. I'm thinking it's electrical but I don't have a clue as to where to start. He was doing something to a few of the aux relays. Hopefully Wednesday will be the day.

                  I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious haha but Trever and myself came across that today. The closest one I know of is in Seattle. I'm going to see if I can come up with one tomorrow. So, if anyone has one (Vancouver or Portland area) let me know.

                      I wouldn't run out and get the switch just yet, because we saw a spark for a little while, but it was a real shitty one... This leads me to believe it shouldn't be the switch. Like I said, just let me do my research. I am usually pretty good at this stuff given a little time to read up.
