Bad battery cell with no start

[kenuwine4g63]

I just found out i have a bad cell in my battery. My car does not want to start for nothing, i have fuel spark and compression. Could this bad cell cause this. The mpi RELAY has been replaced, but is there a MPI FUSE?? I've heard there is one by the positive cable on the battery and i can not seem to locate it. Also could a fuse be bad even if its bridge is not broken ex.(20A engine fuse). Just these questions please. If you have any insight please help..

It could cause this, especially if your battery doesn't have enough CCA's. Have you tried jump starting it or changing the battery?

No, i just found out like two days ago and i have been busy ever since. I am however going to get a new one but try my brothers first out of his car. Im on my way to work now so i'll be back later tonight...8pm

I forgot to mention it does turn over just dosnt crank

It can also burn up your starter if you have a bad/weak battery.

Was it running before all of this? What has changed since then? Check all of your fuses

So, is it still not turning over? Check the small ground cable on the post. My brothers talon would not start at all. He disconnected the wire and scratched it up for a clean connection, and viola!!

Yes it was runing before all this. Every last fuse in my car is good. MPI too

Nah it turns over just dosnt crank. Which one the one on the firewall or the one to the transmission bellhousing. both are good. I cant seem to figure it out, im doing another compression test tomorrow so we'll definetly see whats up. But im still stoked on that too though. The bottom end just cant die like that, thats weird

Have a friend with another ECU borrow the ECU for your car....The ECU for DSM cars in notorious for going bad

Had a no start today.Was running when I parked it...Swapped in another ecu I had and started right up..

I kinda think thats wut it is too..but from my dash, its good..boost gauge goes up, no cel so maybe???

 

[ChiTownHussla]

Everything else can work and show no symptoms.....The ecu is just that thing, it'll #### up with no explanation

Exactly what was going on with mine..The gauge went up to zero when cranking but would not start at all..So like I said I just swapped ecu's and bingo bango..

Any updates OP?

If the CEL doesn't illuminate when you turn the car on, ECU is bad.

 

[kenuwine4g63]

Yea, i didnt change anything with a good battery

If the CEL doesn't illuminate when you turn the car on, ECU is bad.

My check engine light is pulled, because it always stayed on( i have no cat on the car) so it throws that code

Updates OP?

Yea found out my spark plugs been getting soaked, and im pretty sure they are fouled out. So i have some new ones, but right now im making sure i dont any broken wires and cleaning off all my ground and positive connectors. Thursday i'll have a update on if it cranked or not.
