so you just started driving it and it started doing this?

Umm do you have any pics of the damage? Please post. Did a shop do the fenders?

They may have jammed a wire to the PCM harness that is in that location.

that could explained all the symptoms. It could have slowly started to cut the wires.

Especially if they rushed it or half-ass it. Or worse the PCM was damaged in the accident.

well let me tell you how shitty of a job they did..i didnt even pay them...

Go over your PCM again. It looks like that whole side took a hit and could have cut a wire or two.

i drove it back from the shop 3 months ago, and drove it about and 30 mins again yesterday after a month of sitting while i fixed other suff, and it drove fine. it was out of nowhere.

Ouch! There is a harness that goes right in front of the battery and the one for the PCM in on the back. It doesnt look like the PCM harness got affected but you never know. Have you done the wire mod that hides the wire underneath the fender?

It could have a had an exposed wire that didn't ground out until a slight shift in the wires, like a bump or turn in the road.

Electrical problems can have this kind of behavior, they actually can have any kind of behavior, lol. That's what makes them such a pain to diagnose at times.

start by scanning the codes if you can make it to the auto parts.

**Ws6islife** · 06-10-2011, 03:16 PM

Codes it threw before i cleared it just now.
P0102
P1258
P0160
P0174
P1153

**timowen1** · 06-10-2011, 04:54 PM

I thought it sounded a lot like my old 1948 Ford tractor, actually the old tractor sounded better.

Did you run the car and rescan to see if all the codes are back?

P0102 is MAF related
P1258 is an overheating code
P0160 O2 sensor no acivity detected. bank 2 sensor 2
P0174 System too lean bank 2
P1153 O2 heater circuit bank 2 sensor 1

I will start by cleaning your MAF. Three of those codes are O2 sensors in bank 2. Maybe you have a bad o2 sensor. Has the car overheated before?
