coils
 

my car is really starting to make me mad it has that 3 beep code then pause in it somedays it will start no problem then some days it will start then shut off 10 seconds later or not even start at all. Ive took apart conections to them and cleaned them with electric contact cleaner thinking that it might jsut be a dirty conection, but it still beeps. I dont know what i would look for next or what wires i should check to see if they are broken or not.
if any one would have any information on what to do next or knows whats going on with my car it would be much apprecated thx.

Beeps are covered in the FAQ for FC sticky thread. Please read the FAQ for FC sticky thread before posting as many of the commonly asked questions (such as the one you started this thread with) are covered there.

i read the sticky on the 2nd gen Fc's before thats how i found out it had somthing to do with my coils it says that it may have a broken wire or short circut in the coils or harness but i was just wondering what to do next to diagons the problem thanks

You must have missed something there.

Clearly in the FAQ for FC three beeps:

That is the power steering. The stepping motor for the speed vaiable power steering. There is a short or disconnected wire to the stepping motor.

Not to the ignition coils.

Is the power steering pump still in the car and hooked up???

ahhh ok i see i thoguht it meant ingniton coils thanks alot ill look for that problem now and yes the power steering pump is hooked up

thanks alot haha all the time i was looking in the wrong place i fixed the anoying beeping noise i found a wire that got poked out of the back of the harness
