Nothing going on there.

Trying to get some feedback here https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-cranking.html but not having much luck.

I'm going to pick up a push button starter after work to wire in and see if I have any progress as I don't know how to or which wire to test to see if a signal is being sent to the ECU to fire the coils.

I must add that the $50 offer is still up for grabs because even though my car has started a few times, the problem has not been found yet.

 

My guess is the chip in your key is acting up. Disable the immobiliser and see if the problem goes away.

Had this happen to a customer after he dropped his key on the ground and stepped on it.

 

I ordered a new ignition switch from Autozone which was only $38 due to my $20 discount on the Autozone card. So I'll get to installing that tomorrow evening.

If the problem still occurs, I'll disable the immobilizer. I've been using both sets of keys when trying to start it in case the rare occurrence of a worn key is an issue.

 

You do know that a good repair shop can diagnose this issue for you. You'll probably spend thousands of dollars and not fix the problem.

These things are just cars, they suck, squish, bang, boom just like everything else. Nothing special about them that a good repair shop can't handle.



Asking on here is only going to confuse you more. And most tuner shops, if they can't toon it away, won't know their *** from their head.

 

No shop I trust less than 200 miles away. And I've spent a total of $38 on diagnosing the problem which was on the ignition switch today. Sure I bought another ECU and crank sensor but have long since made my money back selling them.

I may have spent a(1) thousand dollars rebuilding a "built engine" from a certain, shady NY shop but that's a lot to ask of a on/off start up problem that came months after the car was running.

 

I fail again, ignition switch wasn't the fix. I just need to find what causes the cam & crank sensors to pick up a signal but not send the message to the injectors or coils. Will try to completely eliminate the immobilizer even though I've been using both keys when trying to start, it'll be one less thing to worry about for now.

 

For anyone interested, I got enough time to track down the problem. Got the another Tephra XML file downloaded to disabled the immobilizer and it started right up. Never thought an immobilizer could crap out but I'm glad 40+ days of headaches is over. I will PM the member that I believe deserves the payout.

 

I told you a month ago lol
Glad you found the problem
