SpeedDemon Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 did you just unplug it or cut the wire? do you have an alarm system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huhforabiggin Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 no i dont have an alarm i took out the cruise control unit and unplugged the sensor to it and and took out all the wires to the unit. I just tucked the wiring away in motor bay so you cant see it but im not completely sure if thats why my distributer grounded out, it just happend to mess up conviently after i drove for about 10 min after i took the cruise out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedDemon Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 i would try hooking everything back up. maybe you took out the wrong wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 how do you know it's your distributor? when i took out my cruise control, all i did was disconnect 1 plug and some vacuum lines and disconnect the gas pedal cable. i see no reason how you could ground out your distributor.

huhforabiggin Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Well it wasent my cruise control that made my distributer go bad, the people at the garage i went to told me it was just going bad and shorted out so i had to pay 200 for a new one, and now it runs fine!

mpearce1974 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Glad to see you got it back up and running! Sometimes things seem to go like that! Fix one thing, and another totally different thing happens, which makes you think they are relate and aren't! >_< Happens to all of us, at some point, except some seem to forget that!
