I Did Look At Those Wires Today But I Did Not Go That Far Back . I'll Try That In The Morning To See If They Are Chafed Thanks For The Pics . Really Helpfull Hope It Is Something Simple Like That. Does Sound Like A Fix Because Sometimes I Wiggle That Harness And The Car Runs . But Other Times I Wiggle The Wires And Nothing .

What kind of codes are you getting? Do you know how to look those up? How do you manage to capitalize every word in a sentence? I have troubles remember to do the first most of the times. no i am not being rude i was honestly asking.
