Wire harness issues maybe ??
 

hello guys this is a dumb ass story but i could def use a hand here. About 2 weeks ago my buddy and I where pretty bored at his place. I decided to take off and go home when he says hey can i push start your car? i figured what the hell I'm bored and this will provide entertainment for a short moment. So we get some speed but not enough and the car stumbles its way on.. I let the car idle for a moment and it sounds like it's running on 1 rotor.

so i push the car back to his place and iI'm thinking is it flooded ? so i unflood the car nothing happens. I get in the car Im looking around in frustration and i notice the power FC isn't reading 2 things, the water temp and the Boost gauges that are on commander. so i check my wire harness that's on the driver side wheel well. it had fallen on the tire and had rubbed on some of the wires but not all the way through. NOW that's not the first time that's happened to me. the harness has a fallen about 4 times.

So i look at the wires that where rubbed on cut and solder new wire in. thinking that's it. NOTHING happens. and at this point the motor won't even come on. i e-mailed Banzai my builders and asked them if maybe i fried the harness and what else could it be. they said PFC may be bad the harness might be shot as well or both. what do you guys think it could be ? have you had any similar experience. what did you do to fix it. what can i do. i have checked all the fuses. the only thing i haven't checked is the TPS sensor. prior to this i was having some idle isues. please help me i need to get my car on a truck and back to chicago in less than 2 weeks so any help is more than appriciated

Are you running fender liners? How did your wiring harness fall on the front tires 4 times?

i was running fender liner but i rubbed through it. i moved the harness up and out of the way of the wheel but there was no place to zip tie it. i tried every type of glue there is but because of vibrations it kept falling. anyway any one got answer ?

Break out the Ohmmeter and start checking wires. If you do not have a boost reading or water temp, what else is not reading? The sensors are on different harnesses. The map sensor is on the drivers side harness that you keep shreading and the water temp is on the engine harness. This implies that you have a short in either a major ground to the ECU or a 12V power supply. Nobody on this forum is going to be able to tell you which wire is shot. The coils are also on the driver's side harness with shielded wire, if these have been worn through they will not fire the coils correctly. We have also seen a customer's car that kept frying coils due to a short in that harness.

The car will not run properly (if at all) without any map sensor reading, this is the signal that tells the ECU what timing and fuel cells to be in.

Didn't you also have a rodent eat through your main engine harness, fuel lines and boost gauge line?

Obviously there is a harness issue, just pray that the PFC is not toast, we had a customer that decided to remove the fender liners then drive the car in the rain, this rubbed through the harness, then fried the PFC, got no power up at all.
