Been out of the country for a while, but since i'm back from 2 days, i tried going back to stock temporarily because i have college from next week and i need the car and it took me 2 days to come to this situation

i had to replace the starter motor because it died on me, i tried checking all the sensors and wiring because the car doesn't want to start
but today while checking i had the ignition on and noticed the check engine light kept going on and off, and when i try wiggling its wire around it works fine and if i wiggle again it goes off

my question is, is there any thing wrong with cutting a wire and reconnecting it, does the resistance go up, am i connecting it wrong, because all i do is insert a wire shrink, twist them together and then heat the shrink until it hold on them

the resistance difference should be almost impossble to measure between a joined wire and a single peice.

i thought so too, but is there any solution to this or am i stuck?

if you are wigging wires and the light is going off then you may have a dry joint.

Personally if I had no problems with the car I'd find the position that turns the check light off and make sure it doesnt come on again ;)

Are you actually soldering the wires or just twisting them?

With my stupidity i just twisted them so they shouldn't work, i'll solder all tomorrow and things should run fine i guess, thanks guys
