Well agree almost a month we have narrowed the problem! This yellow wire in pic isbt getting any power unlike other wires. According to wiring diagram it powers pretty much all the relays... We jumped that wire and the car turned on!looks like the circuit board inside fuse block took massive shit? I'll be going yo junkyard tomorrow for a used one

Can anyone clarify if the turbo andNA fuse blocks under hood are interchangeable?

they should be the same for both under the hood and under the dash

It lives! After 3 weeks and one day... The fuse block circuitboard was the problem and wasn't getting power to the yellow wire which runs to the relays... What a freakin nightmare, I've never seen this before and neither had my mechanic who is one of the smartest car ppl I know! Hope this helps other ppl and troubleahooting in the future

For me it ended up with ECU replacement. I am not a true believer of fried ECUs theories so it could be a helpful hint if it's going to happen again with my new ECU.

Gremlins! My car has been running perfect, threw a brand new yellow optima and radiator in and I come back from class and it won't start... Sounds like the same damn problem... I'll have to look at it in the morning

Check all the grounds, and check the voltage....maybe the voltage is too high.

alexandermf · Post by **alexandermf** » Sat Oct 27, 2012 4:57 am

I'm guessing its the ign control module....? That's all I can think of, grounds are all good, what's too high of voltage gonna be?

If the regulator in the alternator is bad, it could be frying things. Anything over 14.4-14.6 is probably a little high.

alexandermf · Post by **alexandermf** » Sat Oct 27, 2012 4:30 pm

14.2 is what its reading, that should be perfect... I'm going here in about a couple hrs to switch out ignition module.. crossing fingers and if this isnt it I'm gonna lose it

Switched out a new ignitor module and tried starting it and the exhaust backfired! Tried again and its def flooded.. from all the times cranking with no spark. Don't have all my tools with me to take the spark plugs out to clean/dry them so ill have to wait about half hour and try it again with my foot to Tue floor for the ecu to register flood start and skip a pulse from injectors. Hopefully it'll fire up then

Not sure where you're at in CO but I could come help out in the next couple days if you're anywhere near Westminster. Plus I could grab that pump from you if it's still available.

Thnx for offer but I have a buddy coming to help and I'm down south in the springs, another friend actually came and picked the pump uo

What exactly are you calling the ignition control module?

alexandermf · Post by **alexandermf** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 11:19 pm

The ignitor that powers the coilpack. The lil chip that plugs into a harness and has to ne grounded
