Something weird happening?!
I was playing with my car, trying to fix one of many problems. I started the engine and everything seemed fine until... I turned on the headlights. The engine was idling at 1000/RPM (engine was cold), and when I turned the lights on the needle suddenly dropped to 900/RPM. WTF!? I've never seen this happen before. Is this normal? Or do I have to include this on my to-do list.

to fix this problem a little better than it is now, re-ground your electronics using thicker gauge wires, i.e. 4-8 gauge. This is said to also give you about 8 hp. I think I saw something on the forum regarding this....hope this helps.
