ok guys im having some more issues with this crappy dual point.. its throwing a code 16..

Fuel Injector System defective circuit or unplugged / defective fuel injector

i replaced the relay that is right above the hood release once b4.. but now when i try to start the car it makes a real loud clicking noise.. could that be the problem?

 

clicking from where the main relay? or from under the hood? is the fuel pump priming then shutting off?

 

its clicking from the relay on the kick panel... the pump primes n then shuts off.. maybe a wire is loose on the pump? but iv never heard that relay click that loud before

 

is the car starting? the relay should click lightly.. not to loud mine is exposed haning down i dont even hear it but i do have a walbro (loud) do you have another one to try or do what they say here great infomation http://techauto.tripod.com/mainrelay.htm



When I turn on the car the main relay starts clicking. I changed it out and still the same thing. What is causing it?

The main is getting low current. The result is a fast clicking relay. The current comes from the battery. The ECU then outputs the current on pin A7 on the ECU. The fix is to make sure the car battery is strong, connections tight and fully charged. Then make sure that the check engine light is not on and the ECU is properly grounded.

 

hm helpful.. it would run but the check engine light would come on and the car would shut off.. when i turn it over the relay clicks like a ****

 

ground at the ecu..

 

what ground? its held down by the cover plate

 

if its rapidly clicking it signals that there is a loose connection and more than liekly you have a bad solder joint inside the relay or a pin at yur ecu us loose... can u hold the gas down a keep it running

 

no

 

Is the clicking only when trying to start the car? Since you said it's inside the car. Ok, check the ground on the thermostat, that is the ecu ground.

Check to see if all your connections are fine for the injectors. With the key on the on position the fuel pump should prime then shut off after 3 seconds.

Check timing if there is no loose connects on the fuel injectors. Find a friend with another relay as well.

For the clicking, Fully charge the battery, clean the terminals, clean grounds and try. You probably just have a loose connection some where.

Bud.

 

changed the relay again.. it started for like 35 seconds.. the injector was ticking really loudly.. i reset the ecu.. ill check the ground on the thermo after i dethaw.. it has a fully charged battery and new terminals.. i did put a bigger ground strap from the headlight area to the vc.. could that do it?

 

ok i checked the grounds.. theyre good.. i cant hear the fp prime.. i hear my loud *** fan but not the pump.. maybe a wire came loose on the pump?

 

yeah possible.. is the pump good theres a way to jump it at the main relay and have the pump come on... its the yellow and black wire at the plug

 

its a brand new pump

 

i believe its the pump.. took the bolt off the filter and turned the key and nothing

 

i tested the pump and it works.. the relay is new.. so what else could it be? its still throwing the code 16

 

Test injector?
