Car Wont Start - PIM, VTA1 & VTA2 All highlighted on PFC
Was just driving along went over a speed bump(very slowly) and my car just died. Now on the PFC in the sensors section; PIM, VTA1 & VTA2 is highlighted with 0.01v!!
I tried adjusting the MAP sensor but the values don't change, only when I unplug it completely the voltage goes to 4.48ish.
Any ideas what could be the problem?

those are all the 5v sensors, so you have a problem with the 5v reference or its ground. especially if you unplug something and its ok!
you're lucky isn't windy, or the porch might have fallen off too

Ok so checked the ecu, turns out my power fc is not giving out the 5v for the tps sensor. I also found a bad ground caused by the window wiper motor. Was actually making the ground point hot!
Anyway, I put a 5v source on the tps output and sensor reading fine, this mean my ecu is fried!
