ok so I have a 92 miata. I have had a ground issue for a couple months now. it started with moving the battery to another spot in the trunk. I messed up and It wouldnt crank after that. so I have been push starting it for a while.
today I took the battery and moved it to were the winsheild wiper fluid box used to be. I shortened both cables. hoping it would finally crank over. or at least the gauges would stop twiching. so I bought new terminals and proped the car up so I could follow the cable and shorten it.
after doing so It seemed fine no more twitching gauges, but then I drove to auto zone and the gueges started flipping out again, but alittle worse than before. as I drove home the engine started to sound alittle off.
so I kept driving alittle to see if it got worse. it did. the guages went from the bottom to the top on and off, then when I out my foot on the gas nothing. no response but I take my foot off and it would go and idle.
so I crawled home and on the way when I tried to give it some gas I heard an electrical noise from somewere behind the cluster. almost like a sparking noise but not that. maybe a relay? if ou have any idea what my stupid ass messed up please lend a hand. any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you!
