Ok, I need to put this in my sig...so I will a little later:
1993 Eclipse GS DOHC
Only "mod" is a new intake pipe (JUST installed)
Ok, so I just installed my intake because the stock intake hose was ripped. It did wonders for the car...but also seemingly screwed it over. There were 2 wires I disconnected for the process: The MAS sensor wire of course, and then the skinny wire on the throttle body right by the opening of the tb. I was driving along, came to a stop, and lost ALL power. Nothing worked. I popped the hood and found vibration in the relay box. The head(light..I think) and rear relays were clicking/vibrating. The only thing I could think of was some kind of short. When I plugged that skinny wire in was there a certain way it had to be turned? Since it was only plugged onto one little peg thing I figured it didn't matter. Can anybody help me with this?

I think its something more then just that skinny wire, something like that wont cause your relays to turn off and on(clicking noises).
Are you sure its all of the relays and not just 1 or 2? Also make sure nothing else came unplugged by mistake or anything of the sort.

I'm going to double-check everything in the morning, but there was apparently some kind of power since it made the relays click. And there were only 2 clicking: The front and tail. I'll see what all's up tomorrow. Thanks for the replies.
