Car acting strange

I've followed what to do from the "Electrical Gremlins" thread, cutting and soldering the wires. I still can not get my car to function correctly. As soon as I connect a charged battery, all the dash lights light and windows work and car will NOT start. This is my first Evo so I'm trying to search and learn and I already have to get the TC fixed this Tuesday, but now I can't even get it started. I checked fuses and all are okay. Some times the green 'immobilizer' light (i assume that's what it is), flashes, but that's rarely. I know my SRS light is on now. Car turns over but won't start. I did have badly corroded connectors at the kickpanel, hence why i cut and soldered the wires. I sillicolned the grommet also.

Sounds like an Immobilizer issue

being you have so limited space to work under there, its really easy to get a cold joint while you are soldering which can cause sporatic electrical issue... so just want out for that...

goodluck
