My 97 gts will not start. Had it running fine Tuesday, went to take it out Friday and get the following:

Turn key to on, no fuel pump, check engine light, batt light, and upshuft light blink in unison along with the a/c clutch relay asd relay and both fan relays. I can hear them cycling in unison with those lights blinking on and off. Cannot communicate with pcm during this behavior. If I yank the #15 large fuse for pcm/asd this behavior stops but I still cannot start the car. I've ruled out the alarm and I'm leaning towards pcm at this point. Does anyone have a spare pcm I can use to test and purchase after confirmation? Hell even if u don't want to sell it id still very much appreciate the ability to loan it from you. Of course I will handle all shipping involved.

Anyone else seen anything like this before?

Before anyone asks I put a new battery in it yesterday.

Thanks in advance,
Wayne

the check light, batt light and upshift light all blink on and off in unison with a bunch of relays under the hood cycling on and off.

Never heard of that combination of maladies before. If it was a horse, I'd shoot it. (j/k)

Lots of Viper problems can be linked to a bad ground connection someplace.

Just FYI for everyone the PCM was the problem.

Huge thanks to GTSDean on here for selling me one and being so easy to deal with.

Also huge thanks to Chuck Tator and Mike from MVP Auto for lending an ear and their time. Great dude!!
