i think i messed up my car big time. a few days ago, my car already ran and I even test drove it. and then on Friday, I took out the battery again because I worked on wiring the electric fan and my aftermarket gauges. I hooked up evrything back together this morning and my car won't start again. It cranks but that's it. No smoke, no fuel smell, it just won't start. But here is what I noticed though. When the ignition is switch to ON, the switching solenoid valve is clicking continuosly. You can even feel it when you touch it. Is this normal when you start up the engine? This is the first time I noticed it. What is wrong. Please help on this problem and my other post. I already miss driving my 7.

 

i checked it again earlier and not only the switching solenoid valve is clicking but the pressure regulator control solenoid valve as well (the one right next to it). so i decided to check the ECU for codes. When I checked it using my 2 LEDs, the light stayed on. I know it is only supposed to stay on for a couple of seconds and then it will either blink(if there's an error) or no light for both(if everything is ok). I think something is wrong with the ECU.

 

did you check yer fuses? maybe yer not getting any gas because a fuse blew while you were doing electrical work...

I don't know anything about that clicking ....

 

i checked all the main fuses and they are all ok.

 

I pulled the carpet that covers the ECU and found out that the left connector was loosed. I plugged it back in and my engine is happy again geez, i thought I burnt something in the ECU. whew... now i can sleep!!!

 

Hmm...maybe thats whats wrong with my car. After work tomorrow I'm gunna take the carpet up and see if I can visually see any problems. How can you check the ECU codes on your own? Thanks.
