[urq] Barrel crimper?

[Bill Bennett]

Umm W.Stedman it is not about shorts, a soldered connection can generate 
voltage just by the materials used, not enough voltage to effect a car 
stereo installation, sorry but that is hick backyard stuff. but could create 
havoc in an Engine Management System, check the input voltage from your 
intake air temp sensor to your ECM if you disagree. is it voltage sensitive?
