Unpluged my Battery and now car wont idle/tach wont work
87 rx7 FC w/ S5Turbo II swap with LT9C ECU tuned by Kilo Racing in Orlando
I recently had an alternator start squealing on me so I had to disconnect the battery to get the alternator replaced. When I finished it I plugged the battery back in and the car refuses to idle and the Tach wont read anything. Car will start, and if you hold the pedal down it will run, but if you let off it dies. Whats interesting though is that the tach will read about half a second before the car ultimately quits. I've had the problem with the tachometer last time i unplugged the battery and it went back to normal, and it definitely did not give me an idle problem. so whats the deal? Did the ECU reset or what?
