Electrical problem please help!
My car gets no spark, and when I try to start the car a relay near the steering wheel starts clicking like crazy. This all started once I put the motor back into my car. I was getting spark when i took it out. Also, I notice there is a wire with a ring end near the starter that is not hooked up and I have no idea where it goes. Anybody have any ideas?
thanks |
Re: Electrical problem please help!
That is either the power for the starter or the ground that belongs on the thermo housing.That click is your main relay located on the left side by your feet.Hook up the wire[ground probably] and report back.

Re: Electrical problem please help!
that wire w/ the ring is the thermostat ground
without that ground the relay will click like crazy! .. BINGO huh ;) |
Re: Electrical problem please help!
That ground always gets missed too.Alot of posts are caused by it.

Re: Electrical problem please help!
thanks yall I'll go ground and see if that helps.

Re: Electrical problem please help!
Well I grounded the thermosat wire and I started to get spark. The car stil wouldn't run though. I had the ecu just lying in the footwell and I touched one of the tabs on it to bare metal in the car and it sputtered and tried to start. I bolted it back down in its spot andthe car would just crank but wouldn't try to start.. any ideas? does the ecu have to be grounded?
thanks again. |
Re: Electrical problem please help!
I don`t think u need to ground the ECU seeing so many setup has the ECU lying on the floormat. I didn`t ground mine and it ran just fine.
has to be something else, look it up |
Re: Electrical problem please help!
any code, whats it doing, no spark, no fuel, timing??? help us help you.
|
Re: Electrical problem please help!
Air has to be there
fuel, is tehre any fuel comming out? spark, u got good spark? |
Re: Electrical problem please help!
plugs fouled is my guess.
take em out and clean them up. also check for gas in the cyl's |
Re: Electrical problem please help!
The cam timing is good, and the spark plugs aren't fouled. Hoiw can I go about checking if I'm getting fuel?
|
Re: Electrical problem please help!
how bout some info, what kind of car, engine, what mods prior to the problem, etc.
|
Re: Electrical problem please help!
pull the plugs and turn over the engine, u will see/smell gas comming out, or try some quick start and wot while starting, if it starts its fuel problem, be careful
|
Re: Electrical problem please help!
Well I pulled the IM about an 1" away from the head to see if the injectors were spraying, and the car started up!. I accidently hit the ecu, and the car shut off and wouldn 't start back up until I wiggled the ecu around. My guess is I have a loose wire somewhere from doin the dpfi to mpfi swap. Anyways thanks for all your help guys.
