I just ordered the Michigan Motorsports cable, so I'll see if that helps / fixes it. Thanks @Z4fun for finding & posting that!

I would of bought Topgunz cables since he is selling them for $20, if I knew before. Awesome guy, definitely support him !

My issue was the same it ran fine for about 1 year , then started acting up once in a while then more and more often. Cables shouldn't react like that unless there's an external force acting on them to lower the life span like (heat , tention, ice, ect) I feel changing the cable is a bandaid if we don't fix the underlying issue.

I have the car with my mechanic and we are gonna try to find a way to resolve it permanently, if we can reroute them somehow, or if not insulate the hell out of them I will send some pics when we figure it out.

I checked w/ Aaron a while back & the replacement cables that he has are the same ones (Stillen Gen II) that came w/ the full SC kit that I bought from him. So, I'm wanting to try something different. I will also try wrapping / insulating the new cable.

No criticism intended.

There is one person who avoided dtc p1239 in Korea. He's been in ride car for five years, and he didn't use the extended harness provided by stillen in the first place.
I twisted the wire of the OEM cable from the starting point to the throttle body. I'll try that and write down the results.

I've had no problems since I switched to the michigan motorsports cable and wrapped it in teva tape and an insulating sleeve. It's been almost a year.

Thank you!

That's just the MAF extension. Did you get a TB extension from them to?

Nope, that's what I'm using as my TB extension.

I'm curious how frequently this occurs, so far been supercharged for a year with no issues. Should I have an extra laying around?

No not necessarily (Stillen ext cable) because it won't necessarily fix it. You just never know if and WHEN it will bite you. So unpredictable.
I'm interested in the Michigan Motorsports one as an alternative though.
