[QUOTE="lovindabass, post: 6285605, member: 606900"] what wire did you splice exactly ? was it a power wire? or was it a smaller awg wire like anything from 12 awg to 22 awg? can you snap a pic of the spliced wire? chances are you cut your voltage regulator wire. A lot of cars from late 90's and up are controlled by your computers. I would start by trying a butt connector. also try a 4 awg pos wire for your big 3 next time. with too much voltage and current draw you can sometimes melt off your charging stud. also it sounds to me that you have a vaccume leak. I had an 84 mustang and i could pound on it all day but at idle it would choke up. now i would also like to know how you managed to fry the end of a 0 awg wire with out some serious arcing. you need to take this to a shop and have them fix it. doing a big 3 is not all that hard. no offense but still look to the firewall. make sure there are no open ended plugs or any little spouts where a vac hose would go. if there is an open hole try having the car at idle and then plug the hole with your finger. see if that changes anything. one other thing do you have any issues with the gears shifting? vac leaks can also lead to having problems allowing the auto trany shift from lower gears. some times very little but others it seems that it wont go from first.
