All of those sound like/point to a crossed wire somewhere.

ok, im gonna make a little run down of whats happened since I finished the install. :

I started the car, it started, then shut off(stalled?) right away. I then placed a bttery jumper pack on it, and it started up and stayed on.

Now, while filling the oolant, and letting it wam up, white smoke is coming out of the exhaust. SES light on. I turned the car off to let the car cool because I had closed the Rrad cap because coolant was starting to flow out of it.

After letting it cool, i go to start it up, and it starts then shuits off again. I put the jumper back on it and it started, then after running it started surging, and idle dropped below 500. I shut it off

I went to go start it up again, check guages light on, SES light still on etc. CAr would crank over. I place the jumper back on it, it starts, then dies gain.


did I Say littlerundown? o

Crossed plug = cylinder not firing = fuel in the manifold = burns there = white smoke and a bad running engine.
