It sounds like a headlight switch......

yeah but the hubcentrics seem to have holes for the original bolts to attach them to the hubs, then another set of bolts to attach the spacers to the rims; therefore the original bolts would be protruding further than the spacers (i think) so the rim wouldn't seat properly on the spacers.

i feel like ive heard of someone with a similar problem.. and it was one of the ground connections? idk.. just something to get everyone thinking..

I kinda tried the whole cleaning the IAC thing and that just ended up completely breaking it... lol... aparently even though it has carbon build up you cant use carbourator... or any solvent for that matter. Found that tid bit out after I broke it... it was supposed to be cleaned with electronics cleanser.
