The "two" wires I missed. They're run under the crossover pipe and get bruned up pretty good too.

Hopefully you can route them somewhere else.

Nope, I would like to find a nice melt proof insulation to put around them tho.

Great thing is, the meter didn't pick the short up right away. We were pissing around with stuff and then the car would just crank and not start. My buddy kept trying to start it over and over and the check engine light finally came on and it threw the code. Short in coolant sensor.

You could always break out the soldering iron and heatshrink, and extend the wires to route away from the hot spot.

That'd be doing it right. I used butt connectors and tape. But the wires are long, but there's no way to run em away from the manifold/crossover pipe cause the sensor is 1 inch away from the pipe

Butt connectors should be outlawed along with duct tape.

Hey now... I did find a "fire proof/asbestos" sleave in my pile o-junk. I slid that over my taped up wires.

At least you know where to look if this problem crops up again in the future.
