Re: welding manifold on car
you can weld on that fucker all day long. computer, battery and every other damn thing you want plugged in.no current is flowing through your computer or anything else. you are jumping an arc from your frame (negative) to gour welding lead (positive) you will not harm a thing.

Play it safe...unhook the battery and ground close to what you're welding (directly to it if possible). It can't hurt to unhook the ECU, but it should have it "out of the loop" when you unhook the battery...at least that's my logic. |
Re: welding manifold on car
unhooking the battery will have no effect. the ecu is still grounded to the car even when the battery is unhooked. i have welded plenty of times without any problems, but if you are that worried abuot it then unplug it. im sure most of us have our ecu's sitting on the floor anyway. thats where mine spends most of its time

Re: welding manifold on car
I heard if you TIG on your engine when the ECU is hooked up it will make your car faster. I think that's true cuz my buddy did some TIG on his crx and its runnin 9's and beat a ferarri.
