I take it the car ran and just died and now wont start at all?

Can you hear the fuel pump run for about 2 seconds when the key is first turned to ON?

Is there a security light on in the dash? Does the engine turn over/ starter working?

Check for spark. Pull the coil wire from the cap and place it close to a ground (may need a screw driver placed in the end) like an intake manifold bolt. Don't make it touch the ground, just place it close. Crank the engine over and watch for spark.

Any spark?

Check these and come back and comment with some answers and I should have an idea of where to help you further.

Does the engine crank at all?
Did you replace the battery because it wouldn't start?
It could be the alternator
Check the cable tightness on the battery and where the cables connect to.

On your car the ECM is set up with two quad injector firing sequence. All even numbers and all odd numbers. It is rare that both would go out at the same time. The ECM grounds the injectors, so I would check for power going to the injectors first. This could be a fuse or a bad wire. One wire feeds power to the injectors until it reaches the engine. this is a start, so let me know. Randy

See if it will run by jumping yhe compressor clutch wire directly to the battery ( Be Sure And Use A Fused Jumper Wire) Or you can jumper the two wires that go to your low pressure switch.

No problem. Email at [email protected] and I will send that right out. I can't get diagrams to take on this forum.

here is the diagram for your car http://autorepair.about.com/library/firing_orders/bl-fo-6884.htm

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

If you are referring to the bumper reinforcement, It is bolted on the chassis. You may need to look for bolts that holds the frame. You can start looking from the engine room downwards or remove the bumper first so that you can access the bolts easily.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Some of these anti theft security distress can shut offfuel to the injectors. This might be what's happening. Check out this link for info on the security system. There is a way to bypass the entire system. Right now you have bypassed the key and ignition part, but the TDM (theft deterrent module) is still there. This is the computer that runs the security system and might be giving you problems. http://vatspasslockpasskeysecurityhelp.yolasite.com/

Hi.

The front bumper is not directly fixed to the chassis. There are several retainers and absorbers behind the bumper.

Below an exploded view showing all the parts comprised in the front bumper assembly. Please click on the picture to enlarge the view.

The A-arm is a key component in the suspension, which gives a vehicle a smooth ride over rough roads. The steering knuckle/spindle give the tire something on which to be attached and keeps the tires working together in alignment. If the steering knuckle is bent it has to be replaced.Heating the component and making it straight, is not a easy task and that is not a confirmed solution and also not permanent solution.And also if it gets straightened by heating the knuckle , then there is risk that in between driving the knuckle can get loose or broken, if this occurs a major accident can take place. -------- The solution for this is to replace the steering knuckle.Click this link below to follow the exact procedure with proper description and diagrams:--- http://technoanswers.blogspot.com/2011/06/steering-knuckle-bent-on-passenger-side.html ------------- This should help.Thanks.helpmech.

do a vacuum test on the FPR if it IS holding vacuum, then i would try to test the fuel pump.

either fluid level is low or you need to check the sensor located in the master cylinder. Master cylinder can also be bad.

repost with more detail, 1) will it turn over? 2) does it crank a minute and die? 3) what have you tried? i would like to help but need more detail!

i would suspect the ignition module in the distributor if you got no spark and or no fuel injectors

Adjust the TV cable. http://www.thirdgen.org/detent

Most likely blown fusible link on starter. Back probe smaller wires from starter, checking for power with a test light. Usually it is within the first 6 to 12 inches away from the eye where it attaches to starter. Cut out burnt piece & attach new section of fusible link wire.

let me go get my manual out of my car... brb
