sweet, i may try and get down there. i ran it once on my dealer tag the 2nd day i had the car, i didnt take it full throttle i dont tihnk, and i did not launch the car at all. went off idle and dumped the clutch and ran a 13.7 at 107. i know its faster time wise than what i ran. i need to get some drag radials too bc it fries the tires at will.

Find a schematic of the circuit, I dont see how you can diagnose an electrical problem without one.

You can, but youd be guessing about where to go next, just save yourself the hassel and get a diagram. Im sure the chiltons/haynes has it in the diagrams portion, check it out. If you cant understand it, post it as an image somehow and Ill help you out.

Sounds good, diagrams really arent that hard to figure out. The manual should also have a troubleshooting guide for most parts in there somewhere. Try those suggestions too.

Have you checked to make sure the connector was on tight? If I recall correctly it sorta just pops on the trans...and uses the rubber to seal/hold it. With the plug off it looks like a oil sender with 2 posts comin out..
