I thought little of it and I took the car for a test drive after I installed the new ECT and I ended up dying out in a parking lot after 10 minutes of driving. After these events, I replaced my alternator and had it tested (which tested fine), replaced my battery, replaced my fusible link, checked all of the fuses (which were all good), and got new battery terminals. The only problem that I can think of next is that the wiring job is pretty janky where the ECT connects to the wiring harness and I’m thinking that wire being open could be drawing a lot of power and causing it to die. I’m not sure what to troubleshoot next so any help is greatly appreciated.</p></blockquote><p></p>
