If I ever find that murphey guy, I swear, I am gonna kill him...

Who else here has murphey bugging them on absolutely everything they do?

Go to fire the TPI 355 up today. Crank her over - Nothing. Not even a sputter.

Check for spark, got a good strong blue spark on every cylinder, got air, so its gotta be fuel. Start going some checking, and find a dead short in the injector wiring, so I pull the entire upper intake, and runners off to get at the injector wiring, and fix the short. Put it all back together, and hit the starter, POOF, big puff of smoke, and I loose all power in my truck.

Great. Now I get to go through my entire wiring harness to find out what blew, and fix it all. Probally blew my ECM as well. I have no idea what possibly could have been shorted to ground that has anything to do with the starter wiring, which was working an hour or two before.

So now I get to run to Napa, drop another 50 bucks on intake gaskets, and fix whatever the heck blew up now, so it'll probally be another 2 - 3 full days before I can even think about trying to fire my truck up again.

Worst part is that I only have tommorow to work on it, then I am stuck back at work for the next two weeks straight. So basically, I won't get to even try to fix it until I am back in school.

Just not possible that the truck will work on the first try, even though I literally spent months checking every single connection in that truck, less the injector wiring, of course.

Arrrrggghh
