parked my car and when to class, when i came out the thing wont start.

my fuel pump isnt priming, (no pressure on gauge) so thats why it wont start.

the relay isnt clicking, so i swaped it with the a/c relay... still nothing.
when i turn the key to the on position the temp gauge needle isnt moving to how hot the car is, also the radiator fans wont turn on when i turn on the ac..

I couldnet find any blown fuses.

any ideas? cause i just had a long walk home

you bastard, i guess i deserve that one though :P

does the check engine light come on when the car is in the on position? did you check the large fuses by the side of the battery? egi particlarly.

XSTransAm

i checked those ones, no check engine light... but then again i run a haltech.

Gamezilla

Did you check ALL the fuses or just the ones under the dash? I had a problem were I'd put the key in and some of the lights would come on, but the gauges wouldnt move and none of the dash lights would flash on. Turned out to be the fuse labeled B1 under the hood.

alberto_mg

do the lights work? could be a dead battery.

figured it out, bad main egi relay...

i poped the relay open and the contact wasent hitting, so i wedged it together with a screw.. started right up.

now the question is where can i get a new egi relay?

thanks everyone who tried to help!

XSTransAm

damn its 46$ from malloy, anyone have any luck finding a generic one?

XSTransAm

ok, car didnt start again today. any ideas, i tried jumping the egi like i did yesterday. no luck today.

my odomiter isnt coming on, none of my stock gauges, basically nothing comes on when i turn the key on... the car still turns over, and the radio relay is like the only relay under the hood clicking. I am getting a laptop tomorrow to check if my haltech is still working, any other ideas what the hell is going on.

also still no blown fuses.

corvettes look better and better every day

Could be the EGI Relay caused the EGI fuse to short out because of the fix you did or due to it being faulty.. check that and B1 fuse. Failing that switch them just in case.

scratchjunkie

this one sounds like the main 120a fuse

Timmus_20b

Car won't crank without the 120A

XSTransAm

how does the car act with the ecu unplugged? will the dash still turn on? (odometer)

im thinking it may be a haltech issue, cause i cant find any blown fuses...

XSTransAm

also, when exactly does the egi relay close, when i turn on the key? when the car starts?

your car looks ugly in the avatar maybe thats why a vette looks better every day

or maybe your car is rigged and thats why you have these little problems

XSTransAm

my car is the furthest thing from rigged. and its a damn aviator pic.

all what little problems? this is my first electrical problem ever.

damn my bad lol I must have gotten your car confused with mine
why dont you get another fuse and see if thats it since it worked after you messed with it the first time

XSTransAm

i hope your being sincere. I take a huge offense to somone calling my car "rigged."

edit: rig this

XSTransAm

been studying the diagrams for a couple of hours now, it looks as if after the ignition switch the wiring goes seperate for the egi and the gauges. so i must have a short somewhere near the ignition switch... right?

XSTransAm

nevermind i found it, ******* short off the ignition switch wire.


guess my car is rigged
