my car died

[HappyProbe]

It was running fine, I took all the fuses out looking for a parasitic battery drain. Put them all back once I realized it was a faulty multimeter and not a parasitic drain. The car won't fire up, I sprayed starter fluid into the air intake, no go. I checked spark. Didn't see any. Not sure what to test next, it's just dead. What are my options? I can't figure what could have happened.

Did you recheck the fuses you removed? what about the main fuse?

Did you recheck the fuses you removed? what about the main fuse?

rechecked all fuses today, main is good, all others good. There's no fuel pressure, unplugged fuel line at the filter, no gas comes out, there's no spark and the "MAN SHIFT" light on the dash blinks repeatedly.

same thing happened to me, and my had blown the main fuse. so check that

My fuel pump fuse blew once, it looked fine but wasn't.

According to the Chilton, the main controls the cig lighter. Cig lighter is working fine. Could it be a bad computer? It's something that controls spark, fuel, and causes man shift to blink repeatedly. I can't find anything online.

And thanks for the help guys

See if you're getting power to the coil & ignition box.

Try resetting the ECU, something similar happened to me once. Disconnect the battery terminals let the relays reset themselves. Takes like 15 minutes or something like that.

Your main fuse is fine doesn't sound like a fuse issue sounds almost like a relay issue.

[HappyProbe]

I've disconnect the battery over night, still the same issue. Which relay would you guess if could be?

[HappyProbe]

When grounding the STI wire, there are no codes. Check engine light remains on. No codes, no spark, no fuel pressure, could be bad ecu right?

[probe,man]

thats what i would think. if check engine light is one and pulling no codes, no spark should be ECU

[unionrdr]

Or the ignition box under the battery near the frame rail went south. Ignition controller is separate from the ECU.

Thanks guys! What about starter switch? It sounds like a pain to get to. I've ordered an ECU, going to test that first when it arrives, if all else fails then I'll start digging in for the starter switch.

The test I did today shows 12v power at the coil + and - when in on position, but as soon as I crank, the power is lost, the test light goes dead and remains dead while the Man shift light blinks until I turn the car completely off, remove key, then back to ON. The light comes back then.

crazy car issues.

[HappyProbe]

Replaced the computer, same problem.



How much you think I can get out of it? I'm almost ready to pay someone to take it off my hands.

If you bump the starter and it looses power that means you have battery terminal issues.
