    Won't idle...

    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...

    Won't idle...

    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?

    !!CAUTION!! when jump starting your Gen II

    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...

    What's the deal on new Mopar oil filters?

    I got this from Dan Cragin a couple of months ago:

    Why does my AC only blow out the window defrost vents?

    98: Yes, I tried all knob settings. Same result. Dave: Thanks. I'll check the vacuum lines.

    Why does my AC only blow out the window defrost vents?

    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?

    Need to buy a Gen I ECU...... is there any hope?

    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.

    Getting aggrivated with my Gen I not starting.... Maybe my ECU?

    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...

    Where is the fuel pump relay, and, how do you test it?

    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...

    Where is the fuel pump relay, and, how do you test it?

    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...

    Where is the fuel pump relay, and, how do you test it?

    Dave, Haven't reset the PCM. How do I do that? I'll try anything at this point.

    Where is the fuel pump relay, and, how do you test it?

    PDC? What will the relay sound like when (if) it engages? The engine does crank over and over, so the 1 second rule shouldn't apply, right?

    Where is the fuel pump relay, and, how do you test it?

    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...

    How do I test it to see if it is working?

    It still won't start. Any ideas why?

    Steve, I think I enabled my email address in my profile. If not here it is: [email protected]. And, I couldn't find your ph number. I would like to talk with ya. Can you PM it to me? I'm leaving my office here in about 15 minutes. I'll can call you on the way home...

    It still won't start. Any ideas why?

    Thanks Chad. To be honest, I've never paid attention to any fuel pump sound before this probem. So not sure if this GenII has a noticable fuel pump sound. But aside from that, all I took off the old battery was the pos & neg cable. I am sure that no other cables were disconnected. But I'll...

    Resetting the alarm

    From other postings, this is what I did: Key in the ignition. OFF-ACC x 4. Leave the key in ACC. open/close both doors, hatch and hood. 2 beeps for confirmation after each open/close. With the key still in the ACC position, I pushed both buttons on key fob at the same time.Then I got a bunch...

    It still won't start. Any ideas why?

    Yeah, I thought alarm too. I want it to be alarm. Do you know if the alarm cuts off fuel or ignition? I thought fuel. If so, then it should've at least coughed when I shot the ether in there, right? To reset the alarm I did this: key in the ignition, OFF-ACC x 4; open/close both doors...

    It still won't start. Any ideas why?

    The car sat for 10 months in storage. On a trickle charger. Dead battery though. Installed a new battery. The car just cranks over and over. Won't fire up. Reset the alarm. Ign OFF-ACC-OFF-ACC, four times. Got all the beeps confirming everything. Next, was going to pull a spark plug and...

    Diehard Platinum Top/side post battery - Will it fit in my '97 GTS?

    Just went to pick up a Diehard Platinum (It's a group 78, 880CCA, Feb '08 manufacture date) and noticed both the top post & side mount. I've read in here somewhere that top post batteries are "iffy" for fit in the GTS's. It measures 8" from the bottom of the battery to the top of the top...

    Looking for a 1996 B/W GTS

    Disable the airbags by pulling the fuse. Takes a second or two. But of coarse pull it BEFORE you get in...unless you can bend in half to access it. Use the kid cars seat like in any other car. Put the seatbelt around it and go.

    Need help...Won't start after storing for 10 months.

    Martin, that sounds whacky. But I'l try it. Can't get it to a shop to plug it in since it won't start. Hopefully the storage place will play nice and let me do this. Any special tools to get to the batttery?...to get the wheel and wheel well off?

    Need help...Won't start after storing for 10 months.

    My 3 month house rebuild turned into 10 months. Put the Viper in storage last April. Haven't driven it since. So imagine my disappointment when I went to pick it up to take out for V-tines dinner last night and it wouldn't start. Yes, it had been on a trickle charger the whole time. But, the...

    What's up in my garage?

    That is the best sounding exhaust I have ever heard from a Viper.
