I was filling up with gas last night, car was running fine. Havent done any mods since suspension back about a month ago. I pulled the car into a stall and sat with it on run for a moment or two, when it just shut off. My turbo timer didnt countdown or nothing everything just shut off. So I tried to turn it on again, and it wouldn't crank or anything. Im stumped. Pulled all my fuses, they look good. I had to tow it home and on the way home we tried to push start it, fired right up! The wierd part was that I would push on the gas, nothing would happen, I would shift to neutral it would shut off. None of the gauges worked that entire time also. When I turn the key to acc I can't even get my window to roll up :cry: The headlights and interior lights still work and everything. I was wondering if it wasn't my ECU? :barf:
Please help me out guys!! I need this thing up and running right away!
 
If your electric window won't roll up, then you have a supply problem. Check voltage at your battery. It should be 12.6 with everything off. Check your cables to make sure they are indeed tight and not corroded. Check the wire that goes to the starter to make sure it is tight on the starter. Check your fuse links to make sure they aren't burned. If you can't see anything obvious with fuse links, feel of them. When you hit the burned spot, it will stretch there when you pull on it. Just don't get wild with the pulling.

If that doesn't do it, then follow a schematic from your windows to the supply. You will likely find the problem that way. I would chance a guess at battery or connection though.

Good Luck
 
Thanks a bunch, I searched around and took some other tuners advice and went and took out and checked all the main fuses sure enough it was ignition! :thumb: Freakin sweet thanks a bunch!
