so today, i had the radio on all day when i was polishing my rims, so i go to start it and it goes click, and like a idiot i hold the key on longer, then POP loud pop, so then i get my jumper pack and it starts kinda, like its running on 1 rotor, skiping and blupper and dies and runs really.. soooo i changed the coils, cas, and ECU still the same shitt, so i unplug the main relay and it dont even run so i assume its not that, then i unplugg the afm and it kinda idles really bad at a high rpm, then i plug it back in and the car just all out DIES, then i cant start it and it runs shitty, soo im clueless what else can i change or check, i cand get a vid of it running shitt if neccarcy, umm all fuses appear to be good to.. SOOOO

PLEASEEE!!!

HELP MEEE!!!!

 

so no lights, camera, action?

 

Maybe you messed up your alt. Its going to be something with your electrical system. Check your all the fuses and relays. If theres no answer there, test your alt.

 

mine did that once. turned out it was really, really, really really and i do mean really flooded


however, it was also because my timming was 45* retarted and i was running off just the leading coil.. yeah i was dumb too

 

update, when i run it, it seems to only run on 1 rotor, but when i rev every so often it seems the second one kicks on running?? omg this car hates me

 

You *sure* it was the battery and not carbon lock or a seal that got tossed and had locked the engine? And your persistance didn't just blow the seal out and now that's why it doesn't run? First and foremost, compression check.

 

itz deff a bad battey, cuz when i hit the brake lights everything dims hardcore, and when it poped the engine wasent running it waz the starter hissing, cuz the low battery

 

Just for running the stereo all day? Why did you throw all those parts at it before running some tests? Now that throws more variables into narrowing it down. Are the lights dimming out? When it was clicking, did it sound like the starter soelnoid?

 

compression spark and fuel

 

i waz being stuipid messing around how many electronics i could run it in till it wouldent crank, yes, im a young kid idiot stupid looser, so i know the starter is good, and the pop happened with the engine not cranking im not sure whats going on

 

AMEN.

It annoys me how people can't at least begin to troubleshoot something first, it's simple, check compression, check for fuel, and check spark, those are the 3 things you need to run, the rest is all about the timing of those things!

 

if possibly can somone make a list of everything i should test tommarow?

 

Compression
Fuel
Spark!

 

yes, but onnce i find out what is not working, then what sensors and stuff

 

Who knows? It's basic common sense, we can't tell you how to troubleshoot and how to fix every little thing wrong with the car prior to knowing what exactly is wrong, which you've not provided us with, all we can tell you to do is what to check first, and after that you can determine what is wrong, and then i'm sure whatever it is someone's covered before. I mean seriously, are you expecting someone to say aww it's alright just replace your cigar fuse and it'll be all good?

 

check the voltage on the batter (hook multimeter up, with and with out the car running) and give us the reading. check spark (turn car off, pull 1 plug, put a screw driver in it and bring it close to a strut tower, NOT holding it turn the car over and see if you can see a spark)

theres the easy electrical checks

for fuel check the fuel pressure

 

Give it to me, I'll get it running, and paint it too.

 

LOL

You saying this to everyone that has FC problems lately?

 

The best way to teach them how to fix their cars is to demonstrate. They won't give me an attitude in person either. I'm psycho.

 

Haha, psycho eh? I just figured you were crazy.

But yes, best teaching/learning tool is demonstration. Until then, though, just do the basic stuff. Check things, read the FSM, keep checking, eventually you'll narrow it down to the actual problem if you know what you're doing.

 

God, it's hard actually doing it in person sometimes, because they just get in the way and do the stupidest things at times you just want to kick the damn hood prop out and watch it whack them in the head and walk away. Oh well I guess!

 

**** that, just tell them to look at something under the hood, then while they are looking at it honk the horn. if you told them to stand in the right place they will jump and knock the hood prop out themselves which will in turn hit them in the head. then you can play it off as you just slipped.

 

At big repair shops and tire places they have those aquarium style waiting rooms, so the public can't get past the glass and bother the mechanics. I think that's what we need, like a tent to keep them in until the car is fixed, something you can set up on site and lure the customers into.

 

Haha!

Stock it with some RXTuner and Import Tuner magazines, that'll keep them amused and occupied for a while when the work is being performed

 

well i checked spark with a timing light, all 4 are sparking, also when i unplugg the secondary injectors, it still runs the same??
