So i know this may not be the place to ask but its somewhat ka-t related or some of you may have delt with this issue before/since i went ka-t i have been having few problems here and there

VEHICLE 1989 240sx hatch

1 my dash lights were blinking one day going on /off and than just went off !same with my rear light s they won't light up when i turn them on !brake lights work! speedo works turning /side markers etc. now in tech forum i was told that its my fuse under the hood , checked :they all fine same with kicker pannel fuses . so than someone sad bad ground , took my dash apart founf 1 lose purple wire not sure where that goes ? anyone

2 Seems may be related to #1 / since ka-t i use those blue ngk wires , so the other night i hear valve ticking so i am like wtf the engine was just rebuild with oem parts less than 100kms ago / so i open my hood and its defenatley not valve tick its a Spark jumping from my spark plug wires # 1 and 2 to the head where they plug into the spark plugs why would that happen brand new wires

3 again may be related to the first 2 / here and there my car stumbles in 2nd around 3500rpm like it revs up and stops around 3500 like its unpluged maf but than i let gas pedal off, and hit it again boom goes all the way to redline like no problem .

the car isn't my daily driver so since rebuild and ka-t i haven't driven it much to see what else / meanwhile i am going to do more "search " if someone can help me meanwhile with some replies that be greatly apriciated

If you have a bare wire from chaffing then you'll get that spark problem.

What are you running for engine managment?
