I dont think i unhooked anything b4 disconnecting the battery cables but for 65 bucks what the heck,at least i'll know for sure. He did say that that is most likly what happend because its unusuall to have no power anywhere but the 3 leads comming off the battery.
Hey, It is the green wire at the alternator that is not homed correctly which gave no power at all!!!

I am taking it in this weekend I should know by next week sometime, and if all goes well i will be driving it next week sometime!....Just a word of advice ... if you ever have rough idle or really poor gas milage after checking all the obvious things take the intake apart and check there. On mine someone had used silicone on the cpi unit when it started leaking (wich is common on these when they have higher milage) and the nut kit(the send and return lines inside the intake) was leaking also... Im thinking this may have something to do with the bent pushrod i found when changing the head gasketts but im not sure what caused that.. well anyway i'll keep ya posted.

Nope not the brain box.. The dealer was not very detailed the paper says pushed inside no power to anything checked battery ok connected some wires got it to crank. some wires being? thats what id like to know!.. the only wire i saw was a green one that goes to the back of the alternator right with the power wire from the battery .. we had the green one grounded to the alternator... maybe that was it but i dont know for sure. once i hook up my scanner i will post the actuall invoice.all i can say is make sure every wire is hooked up because just one off can mess it all up..
