dude, scope is coming over tonight and we are going to scan the ecu and trouble shoot this mou fawkah

im happy this thing is finally going to get a diagnostic but im still a little nervous about what we are going to find. a motor not turning over could be a big deal.

 

hey Tim i forgot to ask, since we know it isnt the after market alarm (cause i gutted it) IF it happened to be the clutch pedal switch, how much would that cost to fix and why would that have gone out?

we will have more answers tonight on why its doing what its doing or at least some codes to post and we can all shoot around some ideas but im just wondering what would cause the clutch pedal switch to go out?

 

Soooo... what's the word Chris?? What code popped up?

 

MY CAR IS ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiive!



so here is the deal.... Dr. Scope comes over, I tell him the issue, he plugs into the ecu. not reading any codes (strange) he then proceeds to turn the key....





THE CAR TURNS ON...




we check the ecu again... no code... prolly cause i left the battery UNPLUGGED for like 3 days straight. (idiot me) now we have no idea whats been fucckin causing these issues. but hey, the car starts. we drove it around the block and back, shut it off and turned it on, kicked the tires and everything is fine not like im b!tchin about it but i wish i knew the issue.

im just worried that its going to happen again thats whats really bothering me... scope said when he looked at all the wiring that was done for the aftermarket alarm that there were resisters here and there, places where there should not have had any wire tampering so that might be the issue here. in any case, im going to have someone look at the wires so we can get a better understanding and most likely do a good re wire on the alarm.




BUT LOOKS LIKE IM BACK BOYZ....




big thanks and much love for Scope350... super cool to have you drive over and lend a hand (and a ecu scanner ) to a fellow z driver! nice meeting you bro.... I can vouch for this guy... down to earth dude, you gotta come to one of our life plaza meets and drink with us! thanks again brotha!

 

no problem man. Anytime. Anyone else ever needs any codes read or anything feel free to ask.

It seemed like the wiring for the alarm is causing all the issues. The headlights and horn dont work at times. All the issues occured after the alarm was installed. So it seems that the alarm system is causing everything to freak out. It was disconnected at the car seems to run fine. Im no expert in electrical stuff. But we are gonna have it checked out by my friends shop. From what i know though, it looks as if they spiced into lines they shouldn't have. But we'll get it checked out for sure. But almost certain its the alarm. Everything looks good.

Glad i could help man. I'll definatly stop by the next meet you guys throw.

 

Good to see that it runs again. Electrical gremlins are the worst kind of problem to track down...
Nice work narrowing it down, to what appears to be, the alarm at fault.

I have the code reader, but where can I get a "How To" to clean the throttle body and the sensor? Hate to make you drive all the way from Laguna Niguel up to the valley.

 

Congrat Cris!!! Now let's find a good time and drink! But just make sure no more natural disaster going on...

HB Meet: Rain in Walnut... my new washed car
LIFE Meet: Fire around Rowland...
Future LIFE Meet: Earthquake? (Knock on Wood)

 

good to hear your car works cris! hope you figure out what's wrong..

 

Congrats Bro!

 

G'luck!

 

Shut up m0nkie! hahaha...

I want to make it to the next one, don't want to have to worry about something happening to the house and my stuff.

 

hahhahaaa you guys are nuts... thanks for the congratz everyone... and thanks to scope for comin through for ya boy!

so whats up everyone... lets get together and grab a drink or 3! where is boba and that BBQ!?

 

you try and start her up today at all? Looks like that glass of water you've been leaving helped.....lol

 

im going to take her and get some laundry done just to get her out for a bit but i noticed that the cup was empty this morning when i went in so i think she is doin a little better already!

 

haha nice

 

Now put some alcohol in the cup tonight Cris... Then your car will be jammin'!!! haha.

So what up man. Start another thread... turkey weekend meet? I know I'm going to be friggin bored after the turkey dinner. lol.

 

So Cris, what's happening tomorrow then? Long Beach drinking???

 

ooooooo drink at long beachhhhhh

 

more research tonight found that some of the electrics are being exposed to water. The fuse box behind the battery has a bunch of corroded fuses and stuff. So we are gonna start replacing those and go from there.
