"From now on whenever I work on my engine or electrical system, I WILL disconnect the negative battery cable unless I am testing something."

I think I tried everything except the battery cable to starter. What's the best way to get to that? From underneath or from the top (looks like the SPICA air box has to be removed). If it's the cable to the starter that might explain the problem I have occasionally to the starter not kicking in after driving and parking. I was blaming the ignition switch for that.

I didn't take the alternator off - just loosened and pivoted it. I don't remember sparking anything while doing that.

But I will re-check everything again and follow papajam's thread.

Thanks,

David
