ok so i had lts on my car but got pulled over here in the lovely state of CA now i have to go to the state ref anywho i put my stock manifolds on and all that during the process i took off the starter to get the pass. header out and i put everything back on and was about to start it up so i was reconecting the batt when i was putting the neg terminal on the car cranks by itself. i was scared shitless and was like wtf. the car is a manual and i always leave it in gear and as it did that the car jumped off the jackstands and put a nice hole in the body on both sides which is lovely.so i took it out of gear and got the stands out and tried it again and it still tried to start byitself and the key was in my pocket the whole time.why is it doing this i think its the starter wires or something please help me guys thank you and sorry for the long story and yes i know i need to learn how to type

It sounds like the positive termanal on the starter is touching the Ing Crank wire, or you have possibly smashed the positive and start wires together causing the to touch. Dude that sucks to hear.

That sucks man. Yeah check the connections on the starter, you might have placed the small wire on the wrong post.

What made him stop you, were you too loud, or did he catch a view of your LT's...?

he said he heard me switching lanes and i got his attention then when i was at the light he gave me a ticket for unsafe start saying i took off at "a rather excessive speed" BS but i took as fast as everyone next to me so whatever its stupid

So the loudness prompted him to give you an illegal exhaust ticket...?

Did he look under your car or in the engine bay...?
