Check to make sure your getting fuel. When you turn the key on you should hear the fuel pump turn on.

can you give a little more info on what happened? does it crank over at all? was it running before and if so did u notice anything before it stopped running

 

[hill31]

yea i have replaced the ECU with a spare. See what happened was i shut my car off then went to start it back up and it wouldn't start but luckily i was on a hill and i popped it into first and it started. it is acting like the battery is dead but we replaced it with a new one.

and all the lights work when you turn it to ACC

After you push started it, it ran fine until you turned it off?

 

[hill31]

yea it ran fine then turned it off and was about to go out again and i wouldnt start

Since it runs, but only sometimes. I would check your grounds and all your wiring harnesses for cuts and kinks and any possible short circuits. I would say that you problem is definetly electrical since your car runs fine mechanically you said. Also is the battery properly tied down, when I got my first DSM it didnt have one and I was like screw it but then it proceded to make spot welds on my hood from contact, oh the good old days, .

buy a battery terminal cleaning tool, clean off any corrosion to rule that possibility out, dunno just a thought.

On m,y truck one time I thought I had a bad starter, in the process of testing it I fried it... turns out it was the starter solenoid, so I had to replace both , not yet sure how the starter works on dsm's

at 123bobby.. weld spots on hood hehe. car bats make good arc welders with 4 gauge wire

Yeah, apperently.

So, we have figured it out! Now the starter was good but, the solenoid. Thnaks for all the help!
