Hi peoples,

Has anyone got any ideas about what could be going on with my alarm - The other day, I changed my spark plugs and pretty much ran out of time, so I left the car in the drive. Then the next day, when I went to drive it, the car started ok, then I noticed a funny clicking thing that sounded a bit like a relay clicking over continuously. I sourced the noise to the alarm box (felt the vibrations). I had a look while the car was running, and my first thought was that the sensor that detects movement was funny, because when the ticking was happening, the red LED on the sensor was flashing in sync. I unscrewed the sensor from to see if there was a dial for sensitivity, but there wasn't. (I thought the sensitivity was right up and the vibrations from the car was triggering it).

Anyway, After about a minute of the engine running and the stupid clicking, the alarm triggers (while the engine is on!!!) and cuts the ignition!! This happened a few times and I'm bloody stumped as to what could be the cause!

Obviously I have to get it sorted asap, so if anyone has ANY ideas it would be muchly appreciated!

Thanks in advance, I hope!

alarm is by Brant. I have found a wire coming off the coil pack wiring and I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it. It's a small black wire (4 inches or so long) with a metal "O" on the end. I would think that it is supposed to be grounded, but I"m not sure. I don't remember what I did with it last time - I presume i ignored it, but maybe it was touching the metal somewhere so was ok.??

The wire comes off just before the first plug (near cyllinder 1?) and I'm a bit stuck with it.

When I had the car running before, this wire was sticking out the back and some sparks came out somewhere. so i very quickly turned the engine off!

if anyone knows what I'm supposed to be doing with this wire, I could really use some help.

thanks.

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
