Yea, that's another way to do it, but wiring it the way I said will give full cloned dome light functionality.

Ya I would never go with nitrous unless I had a straight up track car. Just seems pointless to me to keep paying all that extra money year after year when you could just build up a turbo and never have to keep paying.

Hey guys so today it was around 100 degrees outside.. i went out to try and start my car, and when i tried to start it it would crank once but it wouldnt start.. It was wierd.
I would turn the key and it would crank and i would see the RPM needle get to like 300and then it would just drop. (it happened like 9 times..then i stopped trying)
i was like DAM, its too hot to find out whats wrong.. so i went inside and grabed something to drink. i come back. and try again like 3 min later and it starts normally...WTF.

What do you guys think could have happened? it couldnt of been the battery.. right? since the RPMs moved...
it was almost like if i was out of gas, but i had over a quarter tank ATM.

I wanna know what caused it so that it wont happened again..lol
THANKS.

main relay.

take it out, pop the cover off, resolder all the connections on the circuit board.

What happens is the pins under the solder, over time, lose their strong connection with the solder over them and a gap develops between the pin and the solder. In more normal temperatures, the gap is small enough (or not there at all and it is still touching) for it to still work, but in the extreme heat, things expand a little bit and the gap widens, resulting in the connection becoming weaker. Resoldering the connections solves this issue.

THANKS A BUNCH TRUST! SUPER FAST RESPONSE!!! lol
i knew it was something like that.. lol thats why i made sure to say it was hot ;]
but i was like... if it was that then why would the rpms move..lol
it was almost like i was out of gas...wierd lol

But the RPMs were moving because the motor was cranking...is that right? (now that i think about it)

im gonna go look for that DIY and do that tomorrw before it gets worst lol.

Thanks again.

Actually, that's exactly what happened... the main relay controls the fuel system. By it not working, you weren't getting fuel.

Ahhhhhh!!
Thanks for explaining that.
learned something new today!
The only reason the rpms moved was because it was cranking and trying to start uh.
Cool! i thought it was going to be more complicated than just that lol
have you had to re-solder yours?

Yea, I had to resolder mine. It's really easy, and free to do.
