Ey everyone im a newbie so i dont really know where to post this but somewhere towards the mechanical side....but anyways i have a big prob.....a REALLY BIG PROB....its starting to freak me out actually....but anyways my car isn't turning on and i dont know why....well the story behind this is i installed my down pipe, test pipe, and my TBE....and after installing that my car had trouble starting up the two times i could after installing those parts and after that it just wouldnt start up anymore.....im not really sure on whats going on i mean im only doing bolt-on MOD....and my MODS are ingen intake&UPIC...Turbo XS RFL BOV...ACT cluth (which was done at a shop)...and the down pipe, test pipe, and TBE...and obviously all of those are very easy to install by yourself they are mainly bolt-on MODS....but i also installed my HKS turbo timer type-1 the week before i installed my downpipe,test pipe, and TBE and the car worked fine turned on like usual and it was great...but right after i installed my downpipe, test pipe, and TBE the car turned on twice and after 2 days i try to turn it on again and it just didnt turn on....but the thing is when i turned it on the third time the car wouldnt start...it would crank and everything but just wont fully start...i've checked and checked like my vaccuum hose and all those things that would bring in air to see if anything was loose but i didnt find anything....i was also told by friends that i should check my o2 sensor since i had to take it out to put it in my test pipe...but nope not that i know of its not broken or anything it still looks good...

but right now the thing that is prolly the cause for this is probably my FUEL PUMP but then again im not 110% sure if thats the case either....it could be but i dont want to spend anymore money than what i have already did to get it and comes out to be that it wasnt the problem so if anyone would PLEASe PLEASe PLEASE HELP!!! it would be great i really need some help and if u have anymore questions please ask im willing to answer but yes please help i need alot of help!!!

 

maybe it's your key. This sounds like your key needs to be reprogrammed. do you have any other keys try those

 

how so...i mean yes i understand but i highly doubt it could be will try tho no doubt on that....but do anyone else have an suggestions???

 

try your other key, check the TT wires, especially your parking brake sensor wire and see what happens

 

Definitley your turbotimer .. that or you blew a fuse ... or 3 .. lol

 

but you see, when i installed my turbotimer it was fine it started fine and everything everything worked great....even now when i turn it ON not fully on but just to turn it on it still works fine but after i installed the downpipe, test pipe, and TBE it didnt seem to turn on at all...

 

I don't think installing exhaust have to do w/ not able to turn your car over. Probably your turbo timer is not grounded right, battery or O2 sensor. Key? give me a break. Its not like he reset the imobilizer.

good luck.

Post some more info. I'll ask my mechanic buddy.

 

check the fuse for the ecu!!!

 

Are you getting codes/ Check engine light?
Battery.

 

Might have shorted the wires on the 02 sensor because aftermarket exhausts make the 02 sensor pretty close to the body of the car. This may have blown a fuse.

 

 

What kind of downpipe, test pipe, and CATBACK exhaust did you get? If it was off ebay maybe your car is pissed at you?

Oh and i guess noone else wanted to tell you cause they thought it was kinda funny.. But a "TBE" includes the downpipe and test pipe.. so to correct you, you installed a downpipe, test pipe, and a catback exhaust...
