Are you getting power with the key on, and you try to crank it over and the car completely dies? no power at all? post back.

i have power and everything it just not turning over, i have no power to my main relay and no power to my fuel pump. Would a dizzy be the problem? my dizzy was like rigged up between 2 dizzy y8 and a z6. it was working but all the sudden stopped. My ecu should be fine. I tried to check wat code its throwing but it not working, anone else think its dizzy like i do?

DISCLAIMER: I'm no guru, but I love to (help) troubleshoot... Plus I have a Helm Manual!!! (what are you driving?)

From what I've learned, I don't think a bad Dizzy would *directly* cause you to lose power to your PGM-FI MR and/or Fuel Pump. I'm a big fan of fixing what's KNOWN to be wrong before taking shots in the dark, and the CEL is the biggest thing that sticks out to me. The biggest argument suggesting that your Dizzy is fine is the fact that it was working before your CEL showed up... unless I misunderstood the order in which things happened.

You'll have to investigate the CEL to proceed. It could end up being more $ than it needs to be if you start changing things out beforehand... it might just be a loose Connection or bad Fuse (did you use a MultiMeter to check them?).

In any case, keep us informed on how things go, and let us know what car this is for!!!

Did your CEL go out, or do you still have it? Get that checked first, man!

Unless you have the tools, or a friend with them, or a hookup, you'll have to go to the shop to get it checked.

Sometimes the break isn't visible... I'm just making sure you're not eyeballing your Fuses...
