I tried to jump start my jeep with a electric golf cart. It made a big spark and now all it will do is turn over. Could this have fried the computer system? All the lights, windows, dash, and etc.. are working when you switch the key to the ON position. Thanks.

If you're finding it difficult to service/repair your car,
get one of those online manuals.

You will not have to wait for others to answer, or rely on mechanics and all.

Click on the link above and when you get to the page, select your specific golf cart and you can read the manual. It should explain everything you need to know.

Has your battery blown up. Some times if you are charging a battery or trying to start from another battery there is a gas that is formed in the battery and a spark will set it off This may be your problem and you may need to replace the battery.

Some of the most common problems I encountered with my 1984 V12 (most of which you will find on yours):

1. Electrical wiring faults, especially poor ground connections (thanks to Lucas Electric);
2. Misadjustment of the two throttle butterflies (tricky adjustment for mechanics who do not understand it);
3. Engine computer failure. THIS HAPPENS 100% OF THE TIME WHEN THE CAR IS JUMP-STARTED USING A STANDARD JUMP START CART!!! DO NOT LET ANYONE JUMP START YOUR CAR USING AN A/C POWERED JUMP START CART.
4. Failure of the fuel injector lines causing serious engine fires;
5. Poor fuel economy, often under 10 m.p.g. in-town (nothing you can do about this);
6. Rough idle caused by bad spark plug wires, followed by failure of the ignition coil;
7. Starter failure (annoying and happens without warning);
8. Leaky valve cover gaskets;
9. Failure of the plastic cooling fan (it flies apart when it gets old... replace with a non-plastic fan if possible);
10. Lack of performance due to the car never being "opened up." (You need to drive it hard & fast sometimes.)

There is a custom Golf Cart that looks like a Jeep and is considered an electric club car. If you get a chance there is a show called Barter Kings and one of the shows actually shows one. They are not cheap.

When you remove the battery from the charging circuit, the alternator voltage output jumps to a high level, and this probably fried the computer and possibly other electronic components.

I've seen a bad crankshaft positioning sensor do the same thing

Check to see if you have spark at the coil. If you have spark at the coil and no spark at the plug, you probably have a bad distributor cap and/or rotor.

If there is no spark at the coil, you need to find out if there is voltage present at the B+ terminal of the coil.
No B+ could be anything from a bad ASD relay to a broken wire or burned fusible link.

If B+ voltage is present at the coil, the "NO-SPARK" condition could be caused by anything from a bad Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) to a bad Ignition Control Module (ICM) To a bad Electronic Control Unit ((ECU) - AKA Engine Control Module)

I have a 96 EZ GO gas golf cart with loose steering. What parts are normally needed to correct this problem and are special tools required for me to replace the parts.
Thanks,
