... Read moreWiring a car engine with no prior experience can feel overwhelming, but breaking down the process into manageable steps makes it achievable for any beginner. When I first started, the most daunting parts were understanding the wiring harness and connecting key components like the starter solenoid and fuel sensors. I found it helpful to label every wire and take photos as I disconnected parts, so I had a clear map to follow when wiring them back. One critical lesson I learned was the importance of the relay and solenoid in controlling the starter circuit. Using a cheap yet reliable relay simplified getting power to the starter without overcomplicating the wiring. I also realized that a good grounding point on the body is essential for the system to function properly — any loose or corroded ground can cause clicking noises or prevent the engine from starting. Reading wiring diagrams and referencing the ECU connections helped me understand the different outputs and sensor wires. It might look like a lot of lines and colors, but focusing on just a few wires at a time—such as the ignition switch, fuel relay, and starter relay—made the project feel less intimidating. If you're new to car wiring, don't be afraid to experiment a little and learn from mistakes. Using a multimeter to check continuity and voltages is invaluable during this process. Also, consider investing in wiring harnesses that are designed for your engine model to reduce errors. Overall, with patience and careful planning, wiring an engine from scratch is entirely possible even without prior experience. Sharing this journey encourages others to dive into automotive DIY projects confidently and learn invaluable mechanical skills along the way.

Okay besties… let’s talk ADHD meds. I’ve been on Adderall, and while it’s been life changing for my ADHD, it definitely comes with side effects. For me, the biggest ones are a suppressed appetite (sometimes I forget to eat), a higher heart rate, and feeling a little too wired/awake at times. But

Both motors are wired the same. That's why it spins.
Your first rolling robot is two motors, two wheels and a board, and the first time you power it up it goes nowhere. It turns on the spot, spinning as if one side is fighting the other. So you do the sensible thing and check the wiring, and the wiring is fine. Red to one terminal, black to the other
