OK, so the other day i was in the dunkin donuts drive through, i turned my car off for a minute, i go to start it back up and it goes click! i try pop starting it no dice.. a couple of minutes checking grounds and what not i try it again and for some reason it starts.

today i get in to run to the store and i get click. i also noticed that the chk engine light is not coming on initially when i first turn the key. the chk engine light does not come on when i jump the service connector either.

i have been messing with this now for awhile, i pulled the main relay out tested it and its working. according to the flow chart i am looking at this leaves either the ignition switch or ecu. sound right? i just wanted to see if anyone had ideas b4 i pulled the steering column apart to get at the switch.

thanks

 

if the car was hot or in the sun it could be distributor / ignitor related... try swapping another dizzy or known good ignitor in there first if u can since its pretty easy

 

turns out it was a gound issue... after cleaning all my grounds up with sand paper car fires right up.

for master poot.

for me
