I'm hoping someone can help out as I'm getting frustrated and not looking forward to trouble shooting everything.
Here's the car:
1993.5 auto TT with 120k
purchased 2 years ago with Down Pipe and Turbo timer, greddy
everything else is basically stock, no alarm. Looks like it had a factory alarm but was removed.
Here's what happened:
I started the car, backed out of the garage and drove a block to a stop sign and the car shut off! Tried to retart and nothing it just sat there trying to turn over but no fire.
Pushed it back to the garage and opened the hood and did a quick check over and couldn't find nothing wrong.
I had to leave as I was heading out of state for 2 weeks, so I let my dad know( he's pretty good at diagnosting problems) and left.
He said he followed the book and started checking to see if it was getting fuel. pump was coming on and pumping fuel to the injectors. then he said he checked for spark and that checked out ok.
Basically he followed the book and checked everything ok and at the end the book says repalce ecm.
So today I go out hook the battery up and check and see if it will crank, it won't so I check the fuses and find some of them blown.
2 7.5 and one 30 along with the big 120 ALT. I replace the 3 and it back to turning over and not firing.
I unhook the battery and plug in a new ecm. and still no fire!!
so I'm back to square one. I was hoping the computer had some stored codes but it comes up blank so that's not very helpful.
If any of you guy's have any suggestions or ideas I would greatly appreciate any help.
also if anyone might know a good place in the Chicagoland area
I might be able to take it if I can't get this thing figured out on my own.
Thanks
