ABS Light on..Car won't start.
So I was testing out the slicks I just got and after a 1 mile or so my ABS light came on. After that car suddenly died and a luckily coasted into a parking lot. Now the car won't start. It will turn over but it sounds like theres no fuel gettin to it. I tryed unpluging the battery and main battery fuse to reset the ECU. Still won't start. Any help would be appreciated.

Just checked the codes it was throwing
71 - different diameter tire
81 - central processing unti (CPU)
Not sure what to do now.What do I have to do to get her running again?

Tryed it, I've tryed reseting the ECU by several different ways. It just doesn't make much sense to me. Why would the car completely shut down on me?

Re: ABS Light on..Car won't start. (brad98_teg)
sounds like an ecu problem, but if you are still getting codes, that's a good sign. A dead ecu would only emit a solid CEL, no codes would blink. Maybe there is something wrong with the ABS computer (located in the trunk area)?
There is a 100A(?) fuse under the hood for the ABS system. Its in a little black case near the abs assembly, pull that and see what happens (you need a screwdriver to take it out). I've been running without this fuse for a few years (pulled it after my abs pump started leaking). other than an ABS light that is on all the time, the car runs fine.
