madz28. Im worried that i may have an opti issue or something ignition related. i know that the wires aren't touching and i know that everything is hooked up right. i also forgot to mention that i have a check engine light that wasn't on during the first few starts but it is now, but i don't have access to a scanner right now i may stop by a shop and have them check codes tomorrow
