Unhappy [B]me car catch fire 2day[/B]

like the title says me car catch fire 2day...

i'm drivin along and all of a sudden the car shut off
me get out and see smoke comin from engine bay like mad
so me pop hood and see power wire on fire

i blow out fire and try to figure out WTF...

then i notice some how the tape around the power wire came undone and the exposed wire touch me intake.FUCK - this cause the power wire to melt abit, burn the paint on the intake and burn the paint on the inner fender at the bottom where the intake goes through to the filter..

so i retape the wire and drive home

now me dont know what 2 do..
get whole new wire to run to trunk where battery is
or just fix the arear where all this happend and check all fuses and shit

repaint intake and find a more secure way to mount the power wire in the engine bay


if any one has suggestions please let me know

My car caught fire bout 2 mnths ago but it wasn't serious. We were welding the seat mount and it got too hot and theres was smoke coming out from under the car. I looked and there was a small fire. just blew it out, no biggy. It happened once more after that. scared me though.
