1993 200sx S13 CA18det doesnt start

Post by Grobblere »

Hi guys

Wonder if any one of you can help. Yesterday when i started my car the red lights on the days when you turn on the ignition went on, (diff oil ans) Which was very strange, it went off after a few seconds.

Drove with the car yesterday and stopped it at my house, When i turned on the ignition, theres no red lights coming on, on the dash, i could not hear the fuel pump prime either nor does the 2 leds on the computerbox go on when you turn the ignition. The car does have power since the radio does still come on.

So im thinking either a fuse which gives power to the ecu is fried or the ecu is fried?

Is there anyone who can help me, even just borrow me a box to test if its my box. Im in centurion area.

Regards
Eugene

Hey bud, i dont think its the imobalizer but i will give it a try. The reason why i think so is because the red lights always comes on when the ignition gets turned, The lights on the computer box stays off as well. When you press the alarm button again it starts priming the fuel pump in my case it doesnt do either.

:facepalm:

By some chance the battery clamp has come loose.

We eventually checked the wires, seems like its wire under the dash, just need to pin point to the exact wire, but if you move them you hear something click and everything is go again. Thank you again for all your guys help!
