Stopped running and now won't start
#12
ccrm's rarely fail, I would start by checking the ground wire connection by the battery. there is a 2-3 wire connector with black ground wires in it. I have seen these wire corrode and cause a no start condition. If that is ok then check your fuel pressure and power to the fuel pump. to check the power hook a test light between the power and ground of the harness side connector and and turn the key on, the PCM will power the pump for 10 seconds so have someone watch the light while you cycle the key. hope this helps.

+1 lol when i swapped my motor in i forgot to plug that in and the car wouldnt start. It would crank but wouldnt start. I was pissed. I looking over the harness found out that the sensor wasnt plugged in plugged it in and it started right up. All the sensors in the cars are a pain. No longer can you just check for spark and fuel and find your problem.

Ok, it's not the pats....the fuse for the fuel pump is good, but I am not getting power to the fuel pump....ran grnd from the batt for the test light for insurance, no power, EEC fuse is good, ran power to the fuel pump and it came on and pressurized system but still no start bcuz something is keeping the ignition from creating spark, there is power at the coils but apparently no go signal. It turns over fine but no start no matter how long it sits. The ifs switch is good. Now there is a battery cable connection issue whereas I'm not happy with how they are but they haven't given any problems so maybe I will address that just to eliminate that possibility however slim.
