just to let u fellas know, i dont know if these two problems are related in any way, but today while driving my car the service engine light came on and wont go off. and also i have noticed a burning smell sometimes in my car, not sure where its coming from but ill smell it for a minute and freak, then its gone. Brian(Bshell) did warn me that the service light might come on though after so many miles after the header install so im less worried about that and more worried about the burning smell! input would be welcome.

Well my car has a funny electrical problem, At night with the head lights on. Either sitting at a red light or just letting the car warm up. The lights will fludder and flicker. Hardly noticable at times, but sometimes really noticable. If I have the stereo on and it is cranked up some, the lights will kinda flicker with the beat of the music too. And also, every single time it rains the car will run like complete ***. I mean to the point were it is not drivable, it will throw codes and start missing. But once the car is ran a little and warmed up good, it will stop.

My thoughts are that I have a loose ground somewhere, But I have checked all over the place and I can't seem to find were it is at. What are your thoughts on this.
