I need help!

Ok ive got a 98 shee, had a few issues at beginning of season to work out, got them corrected so I took it out to test ride it. Ran great for about ten minutes... spit and sputtered, would not rev above idle, likely parking brake issue. Take it home, find a black, and yellow and black wire half ass connected together, I assumed this was my problem so I soldered them back together. Took it back out did the same damn thing, bout 5-10 minutes and it would only idle not rev up. So I thought maybe I didnt connect the wires correctly, recut wires, just for craps and giggles I started it up holding the two wires together, revved normally, separated the wires and it STILL revs normally. I think this is my tors wires anyhow bit it still should have shut down when I separated the wires correct? Any help is greatly appreciated

Parking brake wire is green and yellow

Yeah I realized that after I looked up the wiring diagram, still woulda thought It would kill the engine if I separated the black/ yellow and black wires. Anyhow if I just cut the green/yellow wire near the cdi, will that work if I just tape off both ends so they don't touch?

[wayne_smith97]

Yeah it should

Ok, does it need a ground? I know this has been discussed hundreds of times on here, most tell you to simply unplug it, original owner deleted the wire but left a conglomeration of wires taped up. Thanks for the help, not used to this safety stuff, coming from an 85 honda 350x

If my memory serves me right that parking brake wire doesn't need to be grounded. When it grounds it limits the motor. Just cut it and tape it or something that will eliminate that wire from touching anything.

Ok thanks so much for the helpd, ill try it out tomorrow

Report back

Well

I haven't had time to actually ride it, but I did cut the wire at the cdi, then taped both cut ends, started up and revved freely,BUT It revved freely just before that, I think maybe it was just a bad connection faulting when riding, hopefully this fixes it. If not I'll be sure to tell ya, thanks for the help.
