Shiloh,
I've been trying to figure out the cause for my battery draining when it sits with power off. It roughly drains 1.7-1.8 amps. The problem is in the MPI subsystem for sure (drain stops when fuse is pulled) but I dont' know what to look at. Plugs and wires are new, battery is new, alternator is new, ecu runs fine when the car is on, so I don't know what the deal is. I also hear a rapid clicking sound for about 2 seconds after I turn the car off that comes from the TB area that I'm assuming is related some how. Any suggestions?
