Update - I replaced the end connector to the starter thinking it had corroded, but once it was back together, still no crank. The wire is all bound up in the harness and its really hard to pull anywhere. I did check the wires going to the starter relay and they are all fine. SOOO, i need to...

Update - I had a mechanic friend of mine give me some steps, much like what Brembo said:1) Put car back together. Measure the voltage across the battery when turning the key. If there is a drop it means power is going to the starter but its not cranking. Turns out there was no drop in voltage...

No crank.

Hello tuners, I had repaired my ECU in a previous thread, thanks a bunch. I took it to get smogged and things were looking good. A few hours after I got it home I tried to start it again and all I get is clicking from under the dash, no crank at all. I looked up the "How to diagnose a...

Okay, Update Time. I happen to be handy at electronics (I would not recommend doing it yourself unless you have worked on de-soldering, repairing electronic circuits. Electrical work only will not cut it.) so I took out the bad capacitors, cleaned up the electrolyte with flux and a heat gun...

OK. I took out the EGR, cleaned it, did a vacuum test and it holds a vacuum. Tested the flow with the vacuum off and on and its working properly.I will definitely replace the gaskets on the throttle body, ISC, etc. and hoses.The solder side of the ECU looks pristine, no weak solders, no...

Thanks for the advice! I cleaned the throttle body and the ISC. I tested the ohms and the coils are fine. I energized the coils and heard the click as expected but i didn't see any movement. Though if its a stepper motor it would need to be tested by the controller.I took out the ECU and the...

The sound it was making was like a broken relay. it kept clicking very rapidly and randomly. I took out the throttle body to get at the second bolt, which was stripped and frozen, I had to drill out the bolt head. The intake side was pretty clean on the throttle body but the back side and the...

Hello, I have been trying to fix my car. It runs poorly, way too rich. On Board Diagnostic says everything is okay. I noticed that when I have the key on and the engine off I hear a strange clicking noise from a part just below the throttle body. Here is a picture of the part, I am pointing at...
