My car won't start......... How I fixed it
My car won't start......... How I fixed it
Here is a summary of what happened
Thanks to Eric Fu for his help and volt-o-meter
Day1
Started fine ran great ... let idle for a while and then shut it off.
Day2
Started fine and during PFC idle learning process, died out.
Tried to start it again, Starter cranked but wouldn't catch. After a while Starter cut out too and clicked only. While cranking it a clicking sound would come from the ABS Unit. Tried whacking off starter to get her to turn over... hahahah anyways.. didn't work.
A-lot of swearing
Day3
Check continuity going to starter and it is fine Turned out to be the harness plug that connects to the starter ( towards the front driver side of the engine bay. It is near the Battery tray. I will have a picture of the pesky thing later. I guess it somehow came undone. Which is kind of strange. Plugged it in and starter would crank and wouldn't fire.
Checked all continuity to fuel pump and it is all fine.
Tried Starting it again and nothing.
Tried jumpering the fuel pump to "prime" the lines and nothing. Fuel pump didn't work. took fuel pump out and hooked it up to a battery charger and it worked........
I believe the reason for it not firing is the fuel pump....... that POS. upgrading to either the supratt or walbro pump.. to be decided.
During this time, the battery was fully charged and I checked all grounds and fuses. so to people that checked everything and can't find it... it might just need to be connected.
