Background….
car started and runs. I took it for the first short trip to the gas station and it was getting hot. I didn’t properly refill the coolant system after having to pull the powertrain for a clutch issue. So I pulled the car in the garage and it was hot. I guess I’ll have to admit that I opened the coolant reservoir tank. It was empty… but not really. So I ended up with steam and hot coolant everywhere. So after a bit I rolled the car out of the garage to spray it off a bit. Now when I turn the key on everything powers on (lights, fan for the SC coolant loop, dash) but I don’t hear the fuel pump and it won’t crank. I checked fuses and relays. I can jump where the Crank relay goes and the start cranks. I can jump where the fuel pump relay goes and it runs. I pulled the clutch sensor and checked it. It’s working fine. So for some reason I think the ECM is not commanding the fuel relay and/or crank relay. I checked my grounds and they seems good. I have a cheap OBDII and all I get is a code about the TC bypass solenoid (note I have a SC car).
One question… should the Pink/White wire ring out to ground when they key switch is in the off position? I get 12V when it’s on, just wasn’t sure if it going to ground when the switch was off made sense.
I also put the battery on charge over night to make sure it wasn’t a low battery issue.
What do I check next? Is it possible somehow the steam got moisture in the ECM and damaged it?
