Immediately after starting the car the revs drop down to the second lowest line, the car stutters, recovers and starts idling normaly.
when the car is running and you push the clutch in the revs drop back down to around that same second lowest line, the battery light then flashes and the car stalls.
Car was running fine before i started to install a air/fuel guage so i no it was something i have done.
this is exactly what i did.
I removed my headunit and fiddled around with the dinn slots trying to get a dinn guage holder to fit in with my headunit. It didnt fit so i plugged my headunit back in and decided to put the guage on the pillar.
Then i went down under my glove box and pulled out the ECU harness that has the 02 sensor in it. after fiddling around trying to get the 02 sensor pin out of the harness and i got a phone call and had to go, So i plugged the ECU harness back in. and started my car. (^the first 2 sentences at the top are what happened)
so i pulled over, turned my car off and checked to see if the ecu harness was loose. Pulled it out again, blew in it and put it back. Car was still having problems so i thought maybe something could be grounding out after i fiddled with my headunit so i pulled it back out again checked all the wires and put it back.
Anyone have any ideas before i take it to a mechanic?
im thinking maybe i damaged the 02 sensor pin when i tried to get it out.
Was i ment to disconnect the battery before pulling the ECU harness out?
thanks in advance.
