Re: Car wont start.. No CEL (Formula Racing)
We're going to take a trick from the 5th Gen guys and ask you to do something. It will help point in the right direction.
Take the plastic tube which runs from your air cleaner box and disconnect it from the throttle-body. Spray a two-three second burst of Carburetor Cleaner past the butterfly valve into the intake plenum.
Try starting the car.
If it starts and runs momentarily, suspect the main relay. It's responsible for operating the fuel pump and powering the ECM (Engine Control Module)
