Shorting problems....
So when I connect the 2 wires on the left to the (+) and then the two wires on the right to the (-) I get sparks.....so something is obviously shorting...

But what? All I did was put a PCV in.
Thanks!

Not a short... it is arcing as you are CLOSING a circuit....
1 little spark, nothing major...
Oh, BTW, you FAILED to remove the MAXI-FUSE.....
First rule in all electrical work....
I know.... Those geniuses at DynoJet don't actually tell you to, but you have to do it...
Prevents any electrical surges, accidental startups, or popped fuses...

thanks btw for you help!

The maxi fuse is that big fuse on the Left side of the battery (Orange fuse, has a 40 on it), inside the box... Snapped on cover.... it has two wires going into it..
There will be always be a drain on the battery... it's called MILLIAMP DRAW... and it is a fact of life...
The fuses that you removed were prolly the ECM and Fuel pump... both are 15 amp...

Voltage causes arcing, not current. Amperage kills, not voltage. You prolly have occasionally seen images of a telsa coil arcing several feet to someone's hand as a science demonstration or something. It's very high voltage letting it arc that far, but very low current making it safe.
