Help!!!!!

[ianretterer]

ok guys, don't ask me how, don't ask me why
but yes, my engine caught on fire tuesday morning...!!?

it had been acting up for a day or two-the anti lock light would flicker on and off real quick, the car would make a ticking sound, and the radio would turn off.
i had had the same problem about a month earlier and took it to national auto on clinton highway. they tested the alternator and said it was fine. they replaced a belt in the alternator and it seemed to fix the problem. a few days later, the check engine light came back on. it was on for a week or two, and a few days ago it started to act up.
tuesday morning i went out to start the car to go to school, it started, idled very bad for a few seconds, then died. i started it again and tried to drive it. about 100 hundred yards down my street it started throwing smoke from under the hood. i stopped and popped the hood...
low and behold a small fire was cookin shit up right behind my MAS. it burnt a nice hole in the battery, burnt up my FPIK, and my MAS....from what i could see...god only knows what else it fried.

towed it to national that morning...bla bla bla
called them today, they said they are having trouble finding parts for it...so that's why i'm telling you this long, boring ass story
i'm going up there this afternoon to get a list of what needs replaced...i will be able to get the parts faster than they will
so!!

once i get that list, i'm gonna need some help...quick!!
i need that car back on the road asap...(i got in a bike wreck on saturday, so my brand fucking new motorcycle is down and out as well, so i have no mode of transportation...which is why the vr4 needs to be fixed so quick)

any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!
thanks guys!!

I'll stay tuned in here, I may have some spare TT intake and IC pipes laying around if they got burned up.

Ha ha, no way, I can only handle about 4 at a time until I start running out of relatives' places where I can put them. I have already taken over half of my brother's garage. Fortunately it's huge like Paul's and he doesn't mind since he gets to use all my tools. And since I maintain his Stealth.

All I really have left is a bunch of parts, one shell that needs to go to the dump, and the rest of the gray Stealth that I stole the doors off of for the DD.

wiring harness? the whole thing? Do you know what part of it got burned up? You had a bad ground somewhere did they locate the problem?

[ianretterer]

yea that's what he said...bad wiring harness is what caused the fire

he said i need the wiring harness from about where the battery sits all the way up to end...does that clear it up for you?!
sorry...i'm doing my best with the lingo
lol

[ianretterer]

i need to know ASAP what parts you guys think you have...cuz everything else i'm gonna order from other guys here on the forum...but i'd rather keep as much of it local as possible
