Ack! Evo X Won't start
 
Need help...gotta get to work.

2008 Evo X MR

Cranks just fine...battery fine...plenty of gas in tank...still won't start.

Fuel pump relay has been replaced and vacuum hose is zip-tied. No trouble codes, swapped MFI Relay for other relay, still a no go.

Ideas?

What is it exactly doing? Could you get a video?

I just turns over like normal but won't start...doesn't really attempt to fire up.

Starter broke? Or spark plugs? Coil packs?

How do I check the starter? (It is turning over after-all) How do I check coil packs?

If it turns over then it's not the starter. Have you done any recent mods? Are you receiving any warning messages?
Coilpacks I'm assuming you'd have to take each one out and use voltage tester to see if they're working but it's prolly not that.....just throwing stuff out there for you.

Check your grounds

Johnr352 Aug 22, 2012 09:22 PM

Can't really check coil packs w a voltage tester. At least I don't know how.

Seems unlikely all the plugs would go bad at once. I'm thinking fuel. You need to get this car to a shop. The ony other thing i can imagine is a problem with the fast key. Any changes to your eys?

Check fuel pressure and also check ALL your fuses

When my X wouldn't start, it was my timing chain.........don't mean to scare you :lol:

Disconnect the injectors. Crank the engine over a few times. Maybe clean the plugs. Reconnect injectors and see what happens.

Were you parked on a grade with the front end elevated for an extended period of time?

thrlskr Aug 23, 2012 04:04 PM

Update: still need help. Parked in my level garage for 4 days.

1. Removed plugs. Turned engine over.
2. Disconnected Fuel injectors. Turned engine over.
3. Installed plugs and connected fuel injectors.

4. Tried to start car. No luck.

5. Used jumper cables from wife's suv (running) because battery was sounding mildly weaker.

6. Tried to start car again. No luck.

7. Inspected every fuse with engine symbol. Good to go.

Effin furious. No recent changes in anything, but no go.

Did you check for spark?

Also, if you live in the midwest maybe you got some of the bad gas that came out of BP's Indiana refinery.

quicksevo Aug 23, 2012 10:04 PM

You should check every fuse not just the engine fuses..if you have a spark tester try it out, pull out the coil and put one end in the coil and the other on ground and see if there is spark you can get a cheap one at an auto parts store
