I just got the car delivered from TX and when it left, it was firing up with no problem. Now when I turn the key to run I hear the fuel pump and when I get to start, it doesn't engage the starter but fuel pump keeps pumping. Ideas?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Check the battery condition, Check the relay board connections.

QUOTE(rick 918-S @ Apr 5 2013, 08:53 PM)  Check the battery condition, Check the relay board connections. The battery appears to be on its last leg. I hooked the battery charger/65amp start up to it and got the same results. Is the relay board up on the left side of the engine compartment with the black plastic cover over it?? I will try to check that tomorrow. |
