You pinched at least one wire between ur dash and firewall. The same thing happened to me in my 91 LX. I decided it would be more economical replacing the heater core myself, right? Wrong. I ended up pinching a wire when i reinstalled the dashboard. I drove the car down the street and it quit in me. I ended up having it taken to a skilled friend of mine and he had to take out the dash and clean everything up. Removed the old alarm system while he was at it and now my car charges about two ticks higher. I guarantee that u pinched a wire or two when reinstalling that dash.

The car has been running fine for 2 days now. Is it possible the wire "unpinched" itself? I'm not losing any volts or anything. It starts every time...damn i'm lost.
