So I got rid of the EGR, SAI, and DPFE on the Mustang two days ago (emissions controls), took her out for a drive and everything went well other small exhaust leaks from where the sensors bung into the headers.
Went to start her up yesterday and the starter would just click once and not turn over, and the electrical system appeared to be dying and would kill itself after I turned the key. If I continued to turn the key it would do nothing, no AC, no lights, etc. I thought this was odd since there was no reason for the battery to have died so I jumped it and it started no problem. Took it out to get gas and to a friends house, a little later jumped in and the starter did the same one click and then dead electrical system. After fiddling with the battery ground and waiting a few minutes to vent (but not really doing anything) I got back in and it started no problem. I took it home, disconnected the battery and let it sit over night. Plugged it securely back in today and the same problem occurs, one start click, and the electrical system sounds like it's bugging out.
If I press the door locks on the key fob the lock solenoids switch to machine gun full auto and cycle 4-5 times for no apparent reason. I can't figure out what would be doing this after disconnecting seemingly unrelated emissions sensors, and why specifically it starts perfectly fine sporadically. Even more puzzling is the fact that I drove it immediately after working on it to make sure all was well and she ran like a top. Any ideas?
