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

Engine not statrting

Post by tomoyasu » March 23, 2009

my car seems to not be getting any power to the starter. when i try starting it all other electrical equipment works. i didnt see any ECU codes flashing, and the blinker lights on the gauge cluster go on as well. this all started when i replaced the battery.

help please!!

checked and they all seem to be in order. we can get it to start by hooking a power source directly to the starter, but no luck beyond that.

Agreed. If the starter isn't bad I would look at the fuses.

starter is good. fuses good. grounds all seem to be good. not sure what to check for with the relay.
i get a CEL. sometimes it just blinks once and goes off(happens the most), sometimes constant red light, and sometimes it will blink repeatedly 5-7 times and then go constant. checked with volt meter and im getting good reading the starter.

dunno what to do :(
