Ok, here goes. First off, will a bad IAB kill the engine? I think that's
what it might be. Anyway, I was driving around today, and hit a bad bump and
all of a sudden the car was really jerky and shuddery at any speed and
throttle position. I was wondering what the hell was happening when I turned
the OD off to try to get more throttle. That's when I noticed that the OD
light was dimming in conjunction with the jerking so I was like "great,  bad
computer ground." So I finally get the car where it's supposed to go and I
pop the hood and the positive battery terminal had come off the battery! So
I put that back on but ever since then the car WILL NOT idle. I had to
two-foot the car all the way back home (20
miles) and not let it idle. I already ordered an IAB and it should be
getting here soon, but the only other things I figure it could be are the
coil pack or the DIS. It might be the coil pack? but I kinda doubt it. Any
ideas, anybody?
