Ideas for my ALP stuck in parking mode...

[AirMoore]

If you had Mechanics in the engine compartment doing work I'd be suspect of a cable or a connector being crushed/damaged, too.

I guess I should clarify a bit more so people don't think the motor work is the cause of it.

The problem almost assuredly stems from me checking the wires when my Sti-R was dying on the ALP (and subsequent installation of the 9500ci on the ALP). I knew something was messed up (with the radar unit), so I checked and reran my wiring countless times to make sure nothing was wrong. This including moving and rerouting of the wiring for the heads as well on some occasions.

Around this time, I started getting numerous poliscan alerts and then the random "error 2" alerts... it was only then that my head gasket went.


Furthermore, due to the small size of my car (Honda Civic) I had enough wire run the heads inside the quarter panels, and down into the front bumper, so it would have been virtually impossible to incidentally mess up the wiring for the ALP no matter what one did in the engine compartment.

So I am almost assured now that by pulling the wires through or messing with the re-wiring of the heads, I may have chafed or pinched something during the process of trying to fix my Sti-R+ issues.


At any rate, I'm just happy I was able to narrow the issue down with the help of BRD&rg. I don't mind running one head for awhile, as long as I can get the 9500CI use out of it, and I'll just run as if I have no laser protection (even though one head should provide some). Point is, the unit works flawlessly at least as a 9500CI right now, except better than a 9500ci because the ALP gives the option of K-band segmenting (which I love... though it's not for everyone).
