if you jump it.. and it starts... but then dies. it could be the alternator i suppose

If everything turns on (lights, radio, etc), but the engine doesn't start and there's a clicking sound when you turn the key into the "start" position, it's your starter. 100%.

im gonna have to say starter or alternator, possibly it just a fluke though, cause by car does that sometimes and everything is good

he said it starts and dies.

rico. suck, bang, blow. if it does all three, it runs. if it doesnt, it doesnt run. start with the basics.

wrong that would be a battery, like stu said double check..triple check every hose connection and fuse, you had the thing apart not long ago

rico

checked all that. when i put key on fans go right now. NEVER HAD HAPPENED BEFORE. for you hptuner users yall know when u start uploading a tune while its doing it it dispays on the gauge LOW FUEL, POWER STEERING ETC.. well as soon as i turn the key with no hptuners or anything pluged it keeps doing that and that its not suppose to happen so idk. mayb etc took a ****?

reflash the tune just for ***** rico. do a write entire, not a quick write

rico

will try that

So you jump across the starter to get it to start but it doesn't run?

Btw, if you're close to campus I'd be more than happy to come take a look. I'm no mechanical genius but I can help in some way. Don't have class until noon tomorrow so I have some time.

rico

correct jump the starter and it starts but dies

i had a jet chip on my 2.2l but any way i guess i pluged it on the plug in. went to start it up. turned it to A/C and the fan turned on and it wouldnt turn. took it to the dealer and them replaced my ECU or ECM i forgot withch one its where you can have a piggy back chip. but any way that may help if ya got tuned or something.....

utsadude

Interesting... See if it goes away after the reflash like stu said.

rico

did a full write and nada. fans still on all power with the switch on and car wont crank or anything

utsadude

Hmm... That's odd. You don't hear any clicks or buzzes that are out of the norm do you? Like a circuit frying or something along those lines do you?

does it still flash all the things across the DIC

rico

nope nada weird just the damn fans. and yeh the low fuel. power steering **** still flashes even when im not uploading a tune

rico

utsadude

Maybe a problem with the tune?
