Please redo all the connections with solder. Crimping is just asking for trouble. That's the very first thing I'd do before looking at other possible causes for the problem.

I think I am going to have to do that. I will see if clearing the codes works today. If not, then there has to be a short somewhere in the wires. I just wish I had more room to work with under the passenger side dash!!!!

I used the Autosport wiring harness. This made it very easy and eliminated the need to cut into the car's harness. But no matter what, I think you should solder all those connections.

Yea that is what I should have done but I had the vortech before the harness was available. I checked all the connections and everything is snug. Nothing lose under the dash. I cleared the codes and tried to start. It was trying to start just wouldn't turn over all the way. I read the codes again and got the same thing....P0335....P0345

If you have verified good connection/continuity with the 5 wires that go to the ECU i.e. Battery, ECU ground, MAF, Crank, CAM1 and Cam2 then the next step would seem to be the S.S box..Could be a short in it??

True. That will be the next step. However, is it possible to get into the box? Or should I send it to Vortech. I am planning on sending it to a buddy to datalog and see if he can figure it out. Have to flat bed it to him but shouldn't be a problem. I just miss driving this thing....

If you open it they may void the warranty if it is still under warranty...I would send it off..

Problem is discovered.....the Split Second box. Somehow water made its way into the box and shorted out the connections. Sending off to Vortech to hopefully get a replacement under warranty as I have not changed anything on the kit.
