Car wont start after a o2 and exhaust manifold install... It cranks but it has this weird sound like its not getting any spark... I check all the sensors and plugs i unplugged which is o2, MAF, and a plug that goes to the radiator... Right out its open o2 so no dp and the rest of the exhaust....

Is it possible i didnt tighten then exhaust manifold enough?



Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated ! Thanks

 

wait so the dp back isnt connected right now? that doesnt seem like it should cause a problem but you never no... and if its cranking over but not starting then sounds like a ground or wirr not connected... check everyhting again

 

I had similar situation a couple days ago. I was trying to put back the OEM battery since my mini seem to have low on juice so I unplug a connect next to the MAF and the MAF itself while doing an alarm install. I connect the MAF but forgot about the other connector. Tried to start up the motor but it just crank and won't turn over. I thought I F'd something up. I double check it again and found that connector not connected yet. Fired right up after I connect the other connector.

Check your connectors. Make sure everything is connected. GL

 

I will check everything again tonight thanks for the input !

A friend of mine told me it could been a battery problem too... n told me to charge the battery and take out the EFI fuse start it for 10 sec then plug it back in and try to start it again

 

check the Cam Sensor....it breaks very easy epically when you are working in that area of the car....its a little black connector.....

 

Where is it located?

 

if ur looking at the motor its on the right..... its by the coolant hose....has a little plug
just below the BOV hard line.....if you see it you can tell that it is very flimsy...

its just something to check...might not be it.

 

bro i am having the same problem. been searching and havnt found anything yet. Now my fuel Pump doesnt even come on, and i get the blinking Anti Lock Light car been down for a week now.
funny thing is the Pump will prime if i connect it up to EcuScan and activate the fuel pump, but wont come on when i put the key in and turn it to on.

 

Check fuses?

 

So heres the update i checked all the plugs n cam sensor doesnt seem like anythings outta place nor any hanging wires... and i boosted the car with another car thinking its the battery same thing no affect...

I didnt do what my friend told me it started raining like hell here so im going to try again tom... Im giving this one more week and i give up and gonna have it towed to a local performance shop...

OH BTW if anyone's wondering why i FML'ed in my title is cuz 1)the comment below that i made 2)i lost my job due to a project cancellation + budget issues 3) I made some deals to buy some parts from ppl on evom and now i have to let them down...

Wow sorry to hear that man but my car has been down for 3 weeks...

 

do you have a SES light on?? what are the codes??? this could help...

 

Hmm my car isnt even starting...

 

yeah but if a sensor is out then a check engine light will tell us what is it....and if doest get any power...well then its something electrical..

 

Oh im not sure if its on or not... I'll try that tonight also.... All i have to do is turn on the igniton and wait for a bit right?

 

yeah. leave the ignition on for a few minutes.....do you get any cranking power when you turn the key of is it flat out dead? and then you need an OBDII scanner to see what the codes are.
