subyrally Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 not sure yet, but ill check that in the morning if it isnt raining. do you have spark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormer Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 also check the horn fuse, it is possible the horn fuse also powers the ecu. check the other fuses while your at it. can you see if the ecu gives you any codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormer Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 try your horn and see if it works. the ecu is on the same circuit. i bet you have no spark and no power to the ecu. check and see if you have spark, then report back. you have to do this somewhat sytematically.

JWX Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 are you getting power at the fuel pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdjdc Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 This may sound really stupid, but check the battery cables. I had a situation similar to the one you describe and it turned out to be the small wire that attaches to the positive terminal. It had corroded badly and broke off. We reattached it and off my buddy went. It took us two days to figure it out though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 are you getting power at the fuel pump? the pump works when i jump the relay. the relay is fine, its just not getting the signal to turn on, i think. the little wire coming off of the positive side is good. i am running out of ideas. this is why i need someone that knows how to diagnose and fix wiring problem to come over and take a look at the car.
