Hey guys I need a bit of help on 2 things.



Here is the first I guess simple but a bit of a pain for me. Whenever I start my car in the morning it stays at about 2800RPM for about 40 secs. then drops down to about 2100RPM then finally down to about 900RPM which will then just settle down to 750ish. Now it did the samething in my old integra and I just swapped it out into a new teg. Diffrent wire harness only thing that changed. Chipped ECU street tuned on chrome. LS/VTEC


Second is my brake lights don't work or my signal lights. There is a Red with black stripe wire running to the rear of the car that was fired up. I replaced it and the fuse on the fuse box by the engine bay keeps popping as soon as I put it in. Any thing you guys think? Im gonna go check the wire from the engine bay fuse box to the dash see if that helps.

If the fuse keeps blowing, its possible that you have an open circuit, or the wire is "grounding out" somewhere. In my Integra, the red wire with the black stripe is the same for parking lights, and tail lights. Test the wire with a Volt meter, that should point you in the right direction.

I replaced the wire. I just can't seem to figure out where it's grounded. Regular parking lights work

I'm with Spec R, I hate troubleshooting electrical problems.

Buying a Volt Meter will seriously help you though. Read the manual that comes with it, you can test for open circuits.

As for the idle issues, has it always done that since being tuned? Maybe it can be fixed using crome and burning another chip.
