Hey all,
Just getting started down this path and just picked up my non-running donor from auction. my thoughts were a broken TB or intake manifold could be the reason for the no start. I was right about the TB and have replaced it and the intake was in good shape but I am still not getting a signal from the ECU.
See thread in donor selection below for some back story.
I have replaced the TB and reinstalled the intake with MAF plugged in.
I have charged the batter at have voltage to the fuse box
With Key in ON position I have full function of the car (windows, wipers, radio, sunroof, ect but as soon as I turn the key, all stop and nothing.
I have checked all engine and BCM fuses
I have swapped crank relay in engine fuse box to no effect
I have jumper the relay contacts and car DOES crank (can't try to start as have auto and no radiator to contain tranny cooler lines)
I have pulled apart wire harness ends to inspect for broken wires (none visible)
My ScangageII reader only reads codes when engine running. Do I need to get a OBDII scanner?
Everything else on engine looks good except the ABS module got shattered and the pins got pulled off the board.
What Should I be checking next?
