See if your "check engine light" starts flashing. If it does, write down the number of flashes. 3 flashes pause 2 flashes is a code 3-2

But I digress. Yeah, I smell an issue with that remote start. Do you blow a fuse when you use that? Rather than a manual key start?

I elect rooster. LOL

on off on off on offf dont do anything.

check the wire harness on the left side rear valve cover area. the harness rubbs through on the headbolt and shorts out the asd feed to the fuel injectors. splice 122 feeds the coil and injectors as well as the 02 sensors.

The 02 wire was rubbing a little bit on the stabilizer bar, i tied it up, no damage to the wire or mesh casing, and i unplugged it and the fuse still blows.
