    Default Betsy won't start

    Unplugged the turbo timer because I thought it was causing the car to die out randomly while driving. I didn't know how to take out the harness so I had the audio installers at work take it out Saturday.

    Sunday night after work, it took 3 cranks to start the car. Monday, everything was fine. This morning it wouldn't start at all.

    Time to troubleshoot the ignition switch or main relay. Poooooo....

    She starts! I wiggled the Emanage around and she cranked right up. Going to try and drop it off at TopSpeed to get everything checked out. Maybe I'll be able to get some actual dyno numbers this time.
