sounds like your grounding out,

check the power wire and make sure its not touching the frame, is your battery relocated? do you have a distribution block or a in line fuse from the engine fuese box to the battery?

i think it glow red only because he only has that one tiny ground wire to power up the starter.

your supposed to have the tranny ground on. check the ground on the water outlet. its the one right by the intake manifold that connects to the bottom of the radiator. that one is very important. gosh man i havent seen you on here forever and you only come back when you have a problem

it ran like this for like 4-5k miles now...lol just starting to be a bitch now.

as far as not posting very much lately, i've been very busy...several motor swaps and tons of other various ----.

plus everyone seemed to have a problem with me so like anyone even missed me?

i have a few projects that i'll be posting here shortly.

oh yeah i went out told the car "you better start you little ****" and she did.

the ------ thing is a pile.

the motor is going to be pulled here in a few days after i get a ball joint in my new crx.

my car has the same problem, except I haven't done ---- to it. It would turn over and not start. Never looked for a glowing red wire though :P

Pisses me off though, I was stuck for an hour at a store before the bitch started. Never happened before, just started half a week ago
