So recently I’ve installed a new radiator and water pump but now all my electrical is acting up. When I drive sometimes my airbag light flashes every 10sec or so and my reading lights on my rear view mirror flash but then turn off. Also my idle is acting up so I’m idling at 1200 instead of 700-800. Also my oil pressure is really slow, it reads correct but when I get to 4-5k rpm it kinda just doesn’t move. I have no idea if my new install has to do with anything but all my electrical is acting up. Should I just not worry and let it fix itself?

 

Sounds like an airbag sensor. Usually they start flashing after an accident where they are deployed. Has it been in an accident?

 

there are ground wires at the top of the radiator support. check to make sure you didn't break any of them

 

I haven’t been in an accident but I’ll check those wires, maybe I did break them or something. What do they look like, do they have a specific color or just a black ground. Picture would be great

 

Grounds are always black. They have ring terminals on them. Make sure they're all on there, clean, and snug.

 

wires are black and are held by a ring terminal and are bolted right next to the air cleaner box that was removed to replace the radiator. 10mm bolt with a couple wires

 

I checked everything and we look good, not loose, not dirty, and not damaged. I drove this morning and all my problems are gone, airbag problem is also gone. No idea what did it but the ECU kinda just fixed itself. My voltage fluctuates up and down if I use the heater or defroster but fixes itself as I drive.

 

Aftermarket cam or stock? With my cam the loping idle makes my voltage bump around some. Not sure if it is solely because of the cam, or the combination of the cam and the kinda cheap Remy reman alternator I have that just can't keep up.

 

nope, stock cam but I also did a c6 power steering pump and reservoir relocate so for many months my old pump was dumping PSF on my alternator so it’s kinda caked in PSF, the new pump is amazing though and no more leaks.
