[QUOTE="94'BLKBRD, post: 6285698, member: 598041"] The wire I spliced was the alt to positive wire. It's fixed now, I added a battery lug connector. There are no vacuum hoses close to the Big 3 locations. The alternator is located on the lower drivers side, no vacuum hoses close by. The engine block to chassis ground is next to the alternator, so no vacuum hoses close by. The negative ground is right next to the battery, again, no vacuum hoses close by. As far as the Big 3. That is the easiest thing I have ever done. Measure, cut to length, add/crimp terminals, and then add them on to the stock wire. There's no way I could have messed up the Big 3.I found a loose plug wire today but that didn't change anything. The car shifts/drives normal until I come to a stop. I didn't fry the end of 0 gauge wire. It was 4 gauge power wire, how it happened? Shittt I'd like to know as well. My car didn't stumble like it is now until I installed the new system. Which was, unscrewing the old amp and screwing in the new one in the same location. Used the same connections, added the new fuse supplied with the amp. That's when I discovered the burned 4 gauge power wire. Something happened when I turned on my car to change the gains on my new amp. The clicking problem started when I did the Big 3. Fast forward 2 weeks. Now that I installed a new system my car begins to stumble at idle. Troubleshooting for tomorrow: Clean or Replace IAC sensor(Idle Air Control) Move negative connections to top post since the side terminal is a little stripped. Check the spark plug wires and spark plugs one more time. [/QUOTE]
