Hello,
Just picked up this car a week ago. It's a 1995 Eagle Talon TSi FWD, automatic, no mods besides a hi-flow cat.
Been searching, and curious. My car will start, once and while. I just had the ECU recapped, and the board is in great condition so know it's not that. This is what happens when it doesn't start, when I put the key to the start position I can hear the Relay (starter, MFI) under the ECU tick. When it just ticks it won't start. If I keep the key in the Start position the Relay will tick, and eventually start humming. When it starts humming, I can release from the start position back into the ON, and it usually starts right after that.
The CEL does light up so ECU is getting power.
What is happening when the relay is humming? Is it a mechanical hum, or just the electricity running through it?
So just curious if anyone had a similar issue?
