No start/no codes/all of a sudden - 10/09/05 07:07 PM
I performed a quick search and I don't think I have a similar situation. I currently have a no start/no codes problem with my 98.5 SVT. I had been driving, pretty regularly and had to park it on the street for a few days while a big dumpster took up the driveway. I tried to start it up and no dice.
I figured it was the battery, so I charged it (was weak) and nothing. I hear the fuel pump pressurize. I am getting electric to the front (relocated batt 4+ yrs ago with a HQ 0/1 wire) as I hear the starter spinning and see the FEAD and WP belts spinning as well.
A CEGer came by with an OBD-II reader and saw no codes, not even pending codes. (Thanks Alex)
This happened pretty suddenly as I had driven the car every weekend, so the car wasn't sitting. It sits during the week as I walk to the train everyday. I was told it could be a CPS or coilpack, but both would/should throw codes. Also, plugs/wires are relatively new, about 5k (1 yr.) on them.
I am left with testing the fuel rail to make sure there is pressure, which I hope to do in the coming days.
Other than the fuel pressure, what else could be causing this and how can it be remedied?
Thanks!
Chris
