Greetings, all:
The other day I removed the upper and lower intake manifolds and everything that connects to them- throttle, fuel rail, etc. Replacing gaskets. While removing the lower intake bolts, I placed my hand on the stud that secures the water tube to the heater near the firewall end of the manifold and thought I cut myself. Another bolt and another jolt. No blood so when I touched it a third time, it was clearly 'live.' Not any worse than testing a nine volt battery if even that. I then removed the negative battery cable (I know- should have done that first) and no more mystery electricity.
So is this a ground problem, a short somewhere, or another item altogether? May explain while I am getting a lean code from the computer but I have some new hardware on the car plus a factory correct pressure reg about to go on. Battery does not drain so if this is usually present, what might it be? Phantom juice. Sounds like the next big thing from Hollywood.
Thanks.
