hey guys my car has no spark still, its been sitting for about 2 weeks... i installed a new battery new alternator new clamps and new fuses, but i was missing a 30a fuse ( HEAD ) . i was wondering if this could have naything to do with it no starting? should i try again after i buy that fuse ?

 

i mean the car was working fine ( its a rebuild engine ) when all of a sudden it just died on me while i was still on gear going 65 mph. the next day it started all on its own and then died 20 seconds later but sinc ethen it hasent started up

 

Well if your refering to the fuse panel, under the hood of the car that has the "Little Black Cover", if im not mistaken the main fuse which is in the middle of the fuse panel, if my memory serves me correct. It's the "black fuse" check to see if the fuse is good, and not damaged. The symptoms you tell me are basically the same thing that happened to me last year, while on the way to work in the morning. Lucky for me I have a mechanic thats a True Rotary mechanic, and he knows his ****, hes also very talented at finding shorts, and electrical problems. In my case it was a electrical problem. One of the wires that connects to the bottom of the fuse box (under the hood), was getting super hot there for it melted the wire, and actually melted a metal piece of that wire. So with a test light he was checking all the fuses to see if they have "power" while the ignition is on or off. So what he did was basically test the wires that run to the fuse box, and then he replaced the burnt wire, or rather the metal piece that burnt up that was connected to the wire. He just ran the wire directly, and that was it. Problem solved. If I were you have someone "Qualified of course" check the wires, and fuses with a test lightto see whats up. In the worst case scenario send me a IM, and maybe you can drive down to Miami, and he can check it out for you, im speaking of my mechanic of course.

 

His car is not drivable.

 

Check your "main" fuse connections for loose hardware.

Also, when the car dies, does it completely die? As in no radio, lights, etc. Or does just the engine die?

 

just the engine. it turns over perfect and the revolutions are continuos three times one right after each other is getting fuel cuz i can lit from the tip but no SPARK!

 

Possible loose connection at the CAS? Thats what sends the firing signal to the ECU for the coils.

no the connection from the cas is very tight i cant even take it out.... anyother ideas? is their a possibility it could be the ecu.. instead of a broken/ melted/ disconected cable or no?
