I was driving today to my cousins house around 70mph on a highway while all of sudden cars lost all the power,I pulled over and popped the hood.The car would not restart.Checked the fuel pressure,it was good.Couldn't check the spark because I didn't have a lot tools with me,checked fuses and relays,found blown Mpi fuse.I was like great I have a spare,after replacing the Mpi fuse car would still not fire.Crank but no start.I figured I fouled the spark plugs.Called my cousin and told him to bring some tools to remove the c.o.p and to bring jumper cables because I drained my battery from trying to start it.He came ,I pulled the c.o.p and checked the spark plugs,they were fouled,cleaned the spark plugs and still nothing.Ended up towing my car to his house.I had my wife bring me the laptop and spare ecu to try out.Connected laptop to my v3 dsm link ecu,got the communication,no codes,everything is reading fine.Swapped out ecu's still nothing.
Pulled the c.o.p off again and installed the spark plugs inside the c.o.p boots and checked for spark,no spark.I bypassed the ARC-2 ignition amp and connected the cop straight to the wiring harness and got the very weak spark.Reinstalled the spark plugs and c.o.p car started but it would only idle at 600 rpm's with the gas pedal all the way to the floor,as soon as I let off the pedal the car died again and would restart.I am so confused,could it be Transistor or Ignition module?I also wonder why my mpi fuse has blown.I have been working on these cars for 12 years now and never had something like this happen to me.Can somebody give me some tips or clues?
Help me get to the shootout...
