Ok well my main relay just clicks while the car is running then it will shut off on me after about the 5th click, i checked my thermostate grounds there good, engine harness is good, and i tried to put in a NAPA main relay and the thing does the same exact thing just clicks while the car is running????/ All my fuses are good, is there any grounds on the fuse box area? or anywhere else this is pissing me off to no end i drove the car to and from work tomorrow and it was fine?

wowverycool

could my battery be bout dead, and not have enough juice to power the car?

mr 636

check ur grounds.

the battery doesnt power the car once its running...

wowverycool

the car will crank but will not turn over now and run, and the relay only clicks like crazy when the car is running, what more grounds are there? any near the fuse panel? the starter to frame rail is fine, i dont have a VC ground or tranny to frame, but ive had it like that since i put the swap in bout over a year now and it ran fine, now the car will not turn on to run just cranks, could my battery be doing this?

if its clicking really fast and its wont turn over then i bet the battery is dead, did you just take it out of storage or leave a light on in it or something?

its your wires underneath the dash i had the EXACT same problem and it ended up beeing wires underneath my dash that were disconnected, and some were connected wrong. so check all your wires under the dash

mr 636

thermostat housing ground...happened to me because that **** was loose.

wowverycool

naw i checked that its fine, now the car will turn over just will not start, can the battery cause this?

Atreyu57

not really, make sure that your timeing is on and the fireing order is correct..and take a look at your wires in your dash...

wowverycool

i checked all of that it is fine, i am charging the battery right now to see if that does any difference.

wowverycool

what wires underneath your dash? are you talking about?

Atreyu57

im not sure exactly what wires they are but i was having the exact same problem i would be driving down the road and boom there goes my car...take it to a highperformance shop and have them look at your wires...and check your ECU also...because it might be bad your battery is not going to make it so your car turns off or making it not start...if you are getting gas and you are fireing correctly then it is an electricall problem

wowverycool

yesi jsut tried to charge it up, nothing same problem, im not taking it anywhere i fix it, i checked the wires under the dash they seem all fine, this is making me go nutssss

wowverycool

ecu is fine i tried to switch to a different one same problem.

Atreyu57

well bud there is nothing else it could be if it is getting gas...it is turning over...all your sparks are good...and your timing is on its got to be electrical, and if you are not willing to take it somewere to have a second opinion from someone else then you are not going to get this fixed.

wowverycool

no i will, takes time, i now think it has to do with my ignition switch, i coud be wrong but im pretty sure thast it.

Is your Fuel Pump primering properly when you turn your key without starting your car? You mentioned in your OP that your car would start, then die "after 5 clicks"... Could this be the Fuel Pump delivering the remaining fuel in the line and then choking/stalling? How many times has your car actually started since you first experienced this problem? If it's only once, then I say check your Fuel Lines/Pump/Wiring...

It sound to me like you're having problems delivering Fuel to your Engine, since your Battery seems ok, and the car is turning over. I wish I could help more than that, but... You do have Fuel in the tank, right?

Let us know what works!

well no the fuel pump primes perfect now, i drove the car to work yesterday ran fine, drove it home stalled once then i started it up ran perfect on the way home, drove it to my buddy's house ran great, drove it home last night at like 12.30 drove fine. Installed my new rad. today and drove it around the block stalled out on me, started it back up it was hesitating and bogging, got it home, noticed there was 1 fuse blown under the hood but it was blown previously when i was driving the car, and now the car will not start, fuel pump does prime and the radio works fine and the dash lights. WTF is a matter with my car, it should just turn right on. It goes to the on position but will not start. just crank n cranks

Atreyu57

electrical that is all i can think of but i will stop posting because that is all i have said good luck with your car bud
