Re: It Wont Start!!!!

Sounds like you are getting fuel PSI, just not ignition
I wanna hear that noise you describe as "flexplate"

I'm sure that braided line is fine... but give me a minute I'll get some pics

Re: It Wont Start!!!!

vats= vehicle anti theift system for those who dont know.

i thought with that light on it wont even crank, mine wouldnt. but if its flashing maybe its different. kinda does sound like vats sence its cranking, do you know if you have fuel pressure? and i have no idea why the parking brake is stuck on, ive heard of them freezing on outside, but i dont think your garage is THAT cold.

Re: It Wont Start!!!!

it gets that cold (20*)

Re: It Wont Start!!!!

even at 20 i dont think it'd freeze.

i dont think its the vats/passkey, normally the car wont crank at all from my experiences with it even if its flashing. i dont see how it would go bad since the car hasnt been started in a while.

Re: It Wont Start!!!!

stupid *** car....still waiting for tim to post the video

about to head home in a little bit

Re: It Wont Start!!!!

yea, your right, I wouldnt think its the vats/passkey.
My Security light comes on alot... but I'm still able to start/drive my car.
1 time when I flashed my car it did make the security light come on. In which case the car would do exactly as dan described (it would act like its trying to start) So I just flashed it back and it was fine. Dont think thats the case here though.

Re: It Wont Start!!!!

Seems like you aren't getting fuel, did you turn the key in the on position for about 5 seconds, then turn it off, then repeat that step 7 times? this primes your fuel pump pushing fuel all the way up to your rails.

Also did you prime the engine? "won't have anything to do with the car not starting but still a good way to build up oil pressure, pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it, then put it back in" well, considering you've already been trying to start it forever I guess it wouldn't be a big deal, lol

vats kills the injectors. it'll crank till it kills the battery, well, at least it will w/a 95 3800 setup.
