This worked. Thanks.
My battery is only a 1.5 years old, but I haven't driven the car in a month or so. So the battery was weak while cranking. Put it on a slow charger. Started it with a little pedal and held it for a couple of min's. Had to let off the pedal really slow cause it still...
I've always just turned the key and it fires right up. Now, turn the key and the engine just turns over and over. If I press the pedal and turn the key, it fires up. Take my foot off, it dies.
Any suggestions?
Back in March I had trouble starting my car after a 10 month hibernation.
Hooked up the portable jump starter. Wouldn't start. Put it on "Boost" setting. Nothing.
After lot's of help (especially from Steve-Indy's phone help...thanks!) fiddling with the alarm reset, plugs, fuel pump...
It worked fine 2 weeks ago. I have the knob pointed to the snowflake and it only blows at the windshield. It was 100+ here and I sure miss the cold air blowing at me.
Any ideas?
Paul, Jon B's price is a good one. I am paying more than that for the PCM for my GTS, but it will be programmed and installed. I don't mind though, 'cause I can't program it. And Dan C. figured out my problem so that has value too.
I Have a GTS. I was just going thru the same thing. Wouldn't start. New battery, no fuel pump prime sound, no fuel pump relay click, swapped the ASD relay with another, reset the alarm many times, no spark at the plugs...no start. Turned out to be a bad PCM. Try swapping with one that...
Thanks...
Unfortunately:
1. There is no fuel pump prime sound.
2. The fuel relay doesn't click when the key is turned.
3. No spark at the plugs.
I now believe it is Auto Shut Down mode. I tried swapping the ASD relay with another, but still nothing. Don't know what to do to get it out of...
Dave, yes did the 'press both key fob buttons at the same time'. Got 3 beeps from the car and then the dash gauge lights started flashing on/off. Reset the alarm this way about 4 times.
Tomorrow:
1. I'll check for a relay "click"
2. Listen for the fuel pump priming before starting.
3. Got...
Yeh, I'm trying to narrow down why it won't start.
My car is in strorage, so I can't tell right now if I the fuel pump wants to prime right before starting. But I don't think there is any sound. I'll go out there tomorrow and check.
If there is no sound, then I want to check if the relay...
