Car is 95 Probe GT and I drove the car too long with overcharging alternator and it cooked the battery dry. Just before the car shutdown, the voltage gauge pegged to the top and the dash lights flashed, and then the car stalled.
I replaced battery and the car cranks, no spark, headlights come on, not sure if dash lights come on. I know I need to replace the alternator, possibly distributor but what do you think the condition of the PCM or ECU may be? Still need to check to see if fuel pump kicks on because I don't hear it when I turn the key on. Also, no check engine light when I turn the key on. I do see the symbol that looks like a driver behind a steering wheel, the same one that lit when the alternator started to overcharge. I have driven this car 10 years and have never noticed that one.
Thanks
