so i was at a light last night and the car had been runnig fine. No impending warning of trouble or anything and then in the blink of an eye the oil light and cel come on at the same time and the car shuts off immediately. I got the car pushed to the side. I checked the dip stick and the oil is low but when i go to turn the car on the fuel pump wont prime. I usually hear it very well. So i took the backseat out to make sure I could hear it and nothing. The car cranks over like a champ but doesnt start. any suggestions?

 

I swear I cant find the lil grey plug to jump the ecu to get the code for the cel....theres only so much space to look for it under there

 

well obviously you're not getting fuel. Chances are there isn't a code. I'd begin by checking fuses obviosly and then checking the PGM-FI main relay. After that i'd check to make sure the pcm has powe and ground and is functioning properly. Then test the fuel pump, and it's wiring and go from there.

what he said...

 

yea i fixed it right after i made the second post. one of the wires shorted and blew the acg fuse next to the srs...simple prob...thanx though

 

Find the source of the short, so it doesn't happen again!

 

oh yeah i found the short to i just didnt state it. one of the terminals on my fuel cut off switch came loose and touched the chassis shorting the fuse...its all taken care of
