Default 5.3 problem SOLVED

Bone stock 5.3 stand alone harness.
This build has ran great every time I’ve run it, it’s not finished so hasn’t run much. Today my dumbass put the battery cables on backwards for about 10 seconds, didn’t start the car. Now it’s running like garbage, real choppy and wants to stall. Entire passenger side headers cold. Fried PCM?


Problem solved, it was just a blown fuse.

Theres actually no fuses, just two relays. I suppose it could also have fried the crank sensor. Guess I will start with PCM and see what happens. Drivetrain was supposed to go in tomorrow :/

Why in the **** are you wiring something with no Fuses?

You like to learn things the hard way, just don't burn someone else's stuff down when yours goes up.

Little cheap fuse would have most likely prevented your current problem.

Have fun spending money and time chasing stuff that could have been easily avoided. You might learn one day.

***** means bravery, not stupidity. Only thing involving ***** here is unfortunately these people are allowed to procreate with their same kind.

Idiocracy, the documentary.

Your wife would never look back after this BBC stretched her out. You can watch and beat your little floppy tallywacker in the corner. Only the mother of a cuck would name her son Merv.

Not even my name you clown. If you had any form of wit you'd think of anything worth of an insult besides a jab at someone's wife. I'm not even married fool, so moot attempt.

Thanks for showing your *** on how you are. All your posts have been **** but you didn't have to validate it. Go on back to screwing up your "builds", got to set the bar for yourself on a daily basis so get at it.

I’m truly sorry I’ve hurt your feelings Merv. You’re right, stupid of me to assume you had a wife.. especially with your sensitive feelings and temper. You should ask your Husband if he minds I scoop you up for Arbys. I’ll buy you an ice cream cone

Don't know how you think you could do that, you hooked the Battery up backwards in your **** build and it doesn't run right...

Go troll somewhere else clown, you literally don't have the IQ to hang here.
