Ok my car is a turbo. It was driving fIne and started fine yesterday. Today I started it fine. It sounds normal. Back off my drive way Literally drove 100 ft from my house and it started acting like it was dying then a check engine poPed up and the car died. I tried starting it and it would crank but not start. So I took it down the hill popes the clutch and it started and barely ran. It had no power at all and it was sputtering out black smoke at the tail pipe. I literally could Only go like 1 or 2 miles per hr and it kept on spittig black smoke out the exhaust. And then it died. I thought it was a gas issue so I put in a gallon and no luck... my fuel pump primes bc I can hear it. Could it be map sensor? Bc I got it wet with carb cleaner a few fees ago and it wouldn't start but it dried out and worked fine.. Could it be out? And I got my timing belt changed a few weeks ago.. Maybe it jumped a tooth? The car misfire at idle when it's warm. I checked compression a couple weeks ago and it was 150 all across.. Anybody know What it could be? Help please!

 

ok so i tried it and the cel did not flash but the srs did.. and then this weird noise came on by the map sensor it sounds like. wtf is this?!?!? here is a video of me trying it and then the noise

If you unjump the service connector and turn the key to ON(II), does the CEL still remain on steady or does it turn off after 2 seconds?

 

IF I WAS YOU I WOULD CHECK , ALL OF YOUR TIMING MARKS , ONCE AGAIN , AND ALSO PERFORM A COMPRESSION TEST EVEN THOUGH YOU PERFORMED IT A FEW WEEKS AGO , YOU DONT WANT TO RISK DAMAGING THE ENGINE , YOU WANT TO ELIMINATE THOSE ISSUES PRIOR TO DIAGNOSING THE STARTING ISSUES , PLUS IT WILL GIVE YOU PIECE OF MIND !

 

Please disable the all caps button on your keyboard.

 

The cel lights stays on but so does all the other lights like oil and battery. I looked at my timing and it looks tdc...

 

And when I unplug the battery the buzzing noise stops. So it's somehibg electrical I just can't figure out what.

 

The battery and oil light should stay on with the key in ON(II), but the CEL shouldn't.

You have CEL code 0.

 

ok i've been trying to diagnose code 0. it states that it could be the g101 ground the main relay or no power to ecu. i clean the g101 thermostat housing fround with sandpaper. and i checked the main relay. there are 3 clicks. but i read in faqs that there is an issue where it could be 3 clicks but still will not run. it will start if it's been sitting for awhile but it will have no power and the car idles rough and die. there is still smoke shooting out the tail pipe. does anyone know how to check if your ecu is bad?? bc i want to know exactly the problem before i go out and start buying parts for it.
thank you

 

Do you have a multimeter? There are few electrical test you should do before swapping in a known good ECU.

 

Yeah I have a multimeter
