hey guys. well, this is my sc nightmare number 3. just got my exhaust put in my 5spd today and while i have the car running it shuts off and wont start up. revs fine while its running but then just dies. if you wait a long time it starts back up fine, then does it again. things we have done (its me and paul meadows working on this thing..)
1. swapped computers
2. swapped dis modules
3. swapped coil packs
4. swapped crank sensor
5. put gas in car (had a mustang that did this when it ran out of gas. my gauge doesnt work)
6. jumped fuel pump relay in case that relay was bad
7. checked ignition switch
8. tried it with mafs disconnected
9. confirmed lack of spark by disconnecting a plug wire at the coil pack and looking for spark. it sparked once, started, ran, then the spark went out.
the only thing we didnt swap was the ircm relay box. we strongly suspect the exhaust shop didnt disconnect the battery on the car, then welded on the exhaust while it was installed. this could potentially damage critical ignition components. any takers? i'll post an update when i figure this mess out.
