I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

if it doesnt turn over at all it has to be electrical from the sounds of things, especially if he cant jump start it. without fuel or spark you would stil be able to crank the engine over. you ever get ahold of another ecu to try? also pull your ecu out and check it out just to see if any noticable things are wrong (blown capacitors ect.) Most other things i can think of should be able to be by passed by jump starting the car...

well it was running good up until a couple days ago. the battery light started coming on. it was solid but is now flickering and only at idle(idle shows on the tach as 0 rpms). if i press on the throttle at all the battery light starts to dim and is completely gone at around 500 RPMs. the battery also seems to be getting drained while the car is off.
