It has been freezing outside and I dont have a garage, but I should have the results for you tomorrow Shovert!
AlsoGeneral, Thanks for the suggestion and honestly at this point it wouldnt be a bad idea to start running new wires to "make sure"!!!
Ok, I know exactly where thats at. Thanks for the pic, ill feel better about my reply tomorrow since I am positive thats it. I will def let you know what i get.
Thanks again,
Matt
Firstly, Nice SHOStang! (photobucket)
Yes, i'm actually testing the same way you do (head of bolt) haha. From what I understand, 12v on key on for 1 or 2 seconds is normal right? This would be for priming? I'm by far not an expert... just ALOT of google! lol
OOO is the black box under the...
I recently posted about my SHO starting/running/idling fine until I restart when hot. Once I tried to restart it I would either start back up and die off or I would have to floor it to keep the engine running.
I thought the new fuel pump would fix this and it seemed to work until the second...
well, back to square one... it is still doing it. So I am going to start with the 60k top or front, then i'll get back on here after I finish if its still not starting. Thanks for everyones inputs!

No, it was as if it was disconnected from something... weird looking wire (looked like a curved plastic piece with a metal tab to insert something into... this was only long enough to have to go onto the piece where you put your key into) The curve is the same as the key hole cylinders curve so...
UPDATE on Issues
Took the column apart and found a loose wire next to the ignition that was grounding itself. The car now runs fine, doesn't act up and weirdly enough seems ok now... I don't think the problem is solved, but i'm going to be starting the 60k now.
Thanks for all the help,
Matt
I went to get out of the SHO and I think i've found a major electrical problem! With the headlights OFF and the car off, it beeps *BING BING BING* like when the headlights are ON... I went to grab the steering wheel and when I pull on the wheel, the BINGS stops... let go and theyre back! Looks...
sorry if that was confusing, but I posted the actual results and I think that the first 1 was a separator marking and the second 1 could possibly be part of the next line of code (which would move them all back). so if i'm correct...

OK, I got the codes... it was my first time, so I did it twice and this is what I got... Its a GEN 2, so 3 digit codes is what the Phoenix Project said.

now, I think the 2nd "1" was the start of the next line of code, but I wanted to run it by you guys 1st...
Well, went out and started my SHO... I forgot when it was sitting that I changed the manual tranny fluid and oil, so when it started smoking (bc i'm messy) I was worried, but that cleared up. I took her for a nice ride to get the grease, oil, fluids running again. Ran beautifully. Parked it out...
Well, I think my whole day tomorrow is full now haha. Thanks to everyone for all the very detailed and helpful suggestions and tips!!! This will give me a great start on the issue & a 60k tune-up will follow that immediately (after I read up on it of course)... The Phoenix Project website is...
