Yesterday while driving my car died. I tried to start it up no luck. I looked over a few things and realize my fuel pump isn't clicking on and the main relay isn't making the noise it usually does when you turn over the key. I checked for spark no spark...

Here's what I've checked/replaced

I swapped out the ecu and the main relay from another one of my cars still didn't work.

Checked the fuel pump fuse, its good

Checked the ecu fuse in the engine bay, its good

Checked to make sure all ground are secure and have good connection, they all seem to be fine.

Now I'm stumped. I'm gonna go over everything to see if something isn't connected. The car turns over but its not getting spark or fuel. I'm guess that for some reason the ecu isn't working.. Any advice is appreciated

alright, the fuel pump problem is working now but now the car isnt getting spark.. Any ides?

 

changed the dizzy.. still no luck =/

 

MAN THAT SUCKS!!.. na jp.. i did my swap in to my eg6.. and had the same problem.. i was like wtf yo.. this **** isnt clickin on.. my car doesnt run.. what the hell??!?!??! so anyways after reading up on this.. you have to tap.. (punch the hell) out of your main relay.. me in my case.. was getting a new dash.. so i just punched the side of my dash where the main relay is located... after about 5 minutes of repeating this step.. my main relay clicked, fuel pumped turned on.. and i was able to drive!!! ya it sucks.. means your main relay is not getting a good connection.. during the summer, they expand (is what i heard) no longer making a good constinant connection.. so try tapping your main relay..

 

check your main relay

 

I appreciate the advice but if you repsond please read the entire thread. The main relay hsa been switched out with one off of another working car

 

check the ground on your t-stat housing, clean that up real nice

 

I checked last night and again tonight and it is nice and tight.. The motor is nice and clean, no corrosion anywhere.

Bump for more advice

 

bummmp

 

damn, not even one suggestion?

 

get a volt/ohmeter tester thingy and a service manual and test the little control module thingy under your coil-pack in the dizzy (sorry im bad with part names) it crapped out on me before

 

check the fuses to your injectors.

 

I replaced the Distributor so I think thats thats it?

Wheres teh fuse to my injectors located?

 

if your sure the injectors are giving fuel then dont even worry about that... test your control module thing first.. it was the last thing i expected to crap out on me
