ok so i have an automatic EG and it was stolen 2 months ago. car has been sitting since. yesterday and today i had tried to start it..

i had hooked up the cables from my sedan to the EG so it gets power. i put a gallon of gas in there as well since it was near empty. the car is on my driveway with the front pointing outward. i did that so the gas would go to the pump??

but anyways, i go ahead and tried to start the car. thing is, the car doesnt have an ignition, its just the white piece that i can stick a flat head and turn, steering wheel is unlock as well.

so i turn 1st click, then second click, the main relay does a consistent clicking noise and i can feel it with my hand on the relay. car cranks over and over but doesnt start. i have car in "P" position and brakes down with throttle half way..

does this mean the relay is out?

 

try putting the battery directly on the car, or use a jump starter and set it to the "start" position.. that happened to a buddies car a while back and that did it...

 

my old eg had the same problem, it needed to get the main relay wire changed, coz it was all effed up

 

or that lol! well it doesnt hurt to try the easy stuff first.. hopefully its nothing serious and he sorts it out in no time..

 

slowhatch: what do you mean put in the "on" position if i was to just slap my battery on there..?

jcali: wires look perfectly fine..

 

my bad.. i meant that if youre going to hooke up a battery charger to it, to switch it to start mode.. but if the battery youre putting is a good battery then just slap it on.

 

make sure ur engine harness is still wired up... i had the same noise when i hooked up my resistor box and it would click then i looked at the engine harness and the clips werent hooked up by the brake/ clutch master cylinder...give that a shot i bet it will fix your problem

 

thats also a good suggestion! also make sure the dead end plug for the injectors is intact
