Where did you see this? Not from me.You really need to take some time and re-examine those trunk hinge wires. It still sounds like you have a short there. You did not say if any wires appeared to be frayed, or broken. If they absolutely were not, then that is NOT the problem, even tho it is a very common one.
Please go back and re-check for broken or frayed wires in the harness. Just one little ground wire could cause what you speak of. Re-connect any broken / frayed wires in a proper way. That is, twist them together tightly fold over, and tape them up securely.
Your engine now has codes recorded. Please pull them and post the codes. I have given you the link. It is easy peasy. All you need is a paperclip to insert in the Te1 and E1 to read the codes.
This is unrelated to the short (if any) at the trunk hinge. Please slow down, and do it calmly, and post results.
My guess is it's 1- the trunk harness, or 2- a loose throttle position sensor, or3- possibly, a bad coil pack (there are two of those and you need to find out which one, or both, is bad, IF they are bad).
Start with the simpe stuff 1st. = wire harness, codes.
i have checked all wires from the trunk hinges none of them seem to be frayed or broken they all look in perfect condition... im looking for the diagnostic port to try and check the engine codes but i cant seem to find it i checked under the steering wheel but cant seem to find it .. :( okay so i found it now i gotta find wire or paperclip to connect them ... will post my findings
ok well i pulled the engine codes .. the engine light just kept blinking repeatedly i tried checking for a pattern to count but it didnt have a break it just kept blinking..
