Well for a while I have had a hard time starting the car, figured it was cause of the 1000cc injectors and E85 switch over. Well Friday I was trying to leave work and wont start at all, acting like its not getting any spark. Checked out a few things and went and got a used CAS, swapped it on and started right now no problem, Idled perfect and drove it home from work. Parked it in the garage and didnt touch this the next morning to leave for work and it does the damn same thing now, Acting like its not getting spark again and just keep turning over and over till the battery is almost dead! Its starting to piss me off. Why would it run fine after swapping on another CAS and then start the same thign again? Something ruining the CAS? Any ideas would help guys! Hate to say it but she's my daily driver!:notgood:
 
You didn't say that to start with though did you... ? I suggest you slow down and post the correct information to Begin with and Again take the time to Clearly read and understand what people are saying before Calling people out for lack of a better term... .

There is No sense in PMing me...

Any of your points you brought up can be dicused in the open fourms...

I have no interest in doing it anywhere else...

This maybe not the right spot for them, if you would like their are plenty of other Related threads you could post in that we could debate.. .
 
sniver knows what hes talking about. I have talked to him in person and sounds and looks like someone who knows exactally what hes doing. As with everyone some times things are just said or put wrong. He corrected and clarified what he put. A PM was to keep the clutter out of the way of the OP's question. A real man would try to resolve it in a better way in not affecting others expecially someone who is asking for help. I know I would get pissed to ask a question and then 2 people were arguing and causing a cluster #### in my thread.

TO THE OP.
Try what sniver said, turn the key on and rotate the cas flag by hand and listen to the injectors pulsing.
Have you done compression test?
If you can get it running again for a few seconds can you post a log of what is going on?
Have you looked at or cleaned your MAF?
 
Mas cleaner ruins mafs use caution there. You'll see mas cleaner says do not use on mitsus on their cans. You can use electronic cleaner lightly, using very very slight air pressure to blow dry.

Iv done almost everything Iv been told. Would a bad ground around my radio cause all this nonsense?

Went out and organized some wiring behind the radio and by the fuse panel and did a little zip tieing and checking some shit out. Didnt see anything that would cause the bullcrap happening...BUT I had my battery fully charged yesterday. Cranked it over maybe twice yesterday and come back today and the battery is fully dead again. That usually mean a bad short right? or ground?
 
Battery could be junk.

Also you could have a ground activated relay thats grounding wire is shorted to ground, thereby keeping the relay/circuit on and consuming power.

Maybe you have an angry neighbor thats sabotaging you, killing you battery, and making electrical messes so he doesn't have to hear it anymore? No? LOL

And when you turned the cas by hand, what happened , did injectors fire? Did it spark? Did babies come out of you coolant over flow?????:idontknow::idontknow:
