So you want to spot me on my $65,000,000,000,000 bet?

It did turn out to be a loose Stage 1 chip in the ECU. Guess I was too rough putting all that stuff back in place and the chip must have creeped out enough to cause problems.
Anyhow a big thanks to RedLightniningSVX, Wickedjuggelo and SoCal for getting me focused on the ECU. I hope that is the last time I have to remove and reinstalling the ECU or TCU. Those stupid wire harness' are really hard to get out.

the same thing happened to Steve (the one from Brownsville tx) on the way to the dragon this year...except his issue happened while driving

No prob, you called it anyways. 99/100 when something goes wrong right after a repair or mod, thats where the answer lies.

I'm just glad I didn't break something by shoving that back into place, which is what I originally thought I did. I worried about it all night, so it's a big relief.

Is this like one of those "slick Willie" things like...
It depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is!

I hereby bet the amount of $65,000,000,000,000 that his problem does not turn out to be the battery, who wants in??

I never thought it was the battery! When a person "fixes" a car that is doing fine and dandy before they "fix it" and after they "fix it", it no longer works, My money is always on the premise that they "broke it".

People can do things to hurt their cars that their cars cannot do to themselves, complicating the diagnosis.

I know, we were both in agreement on this one, which is why I was going to see if you wanted in so I could split the 65 trillion with ya....... but nobody took the bet

It is so hard to get a decent bet around here...
