I agree, which is why I only crimp

I usually just say I crimp on aircraft so you should just crimp your car. If I go any deeper people get all retarded lol

i had one a few days ago, bad crimp junction.

i replaced the 25 year old connector and crimps(with shortened solid wires to the new connector), but that's just me. and don't be one of those donks who hard wires the CAS to the ECU...(seen it done plenty on FCs, along with ignition wiring)

if you think it bothers me that you found a bad solder joint, good luck with that. i've seen every sort of wire repair fail(improperly done). yet i haven't had any cars come back.

Fuck! tuned a car last night and its ECU case was in what look like a gold colored Aluminum window frame extrusion and the end were held on with roofing screws!!!!

WTF!

Now imagine if you were Howard Coleman or Brian D Cain, you would have no cars come back or leave for that matter!

Hard to have any wiring failures when the motors fail just after the starter motor engages the flywheel ring gear LOL.

well i did just have one leave today that was here for a year and a half.. i felt like taking a sledge hammer to that car many times, especially when i found the ground strap from the battery loose, burned and bolted to a painted chassis surface.

don't ask, that car was a wiring nightmare and i should have told him to pick it up long ago. shitty part is it ran fine until under full load, then shit would start crapping out erratically. sometimes you feel like it's your own damn fault for not checking the idiocy factor of others.
