Here's the lay of the land...Installed a siren under the dash about 4 days ago for job purposes...it supposed to interact with the horn ring when pushed..long story short- about 2 days after installation I pushed the horn/siren and all of sudden the engine dies...Tried to crank right after- and NOTHIN..
Got it to the mechanic, he sez siren had absolutely nuthin to do with the engine, so he hooked up the troubleshooting device you plug in under the dash. Everything seems to be good, yet he does the following..
1. Checks the plugs-pulls em' theyre firing.
2. Checks the fuel pump & injectors and gas pressure..gas is fine.
3. Checks all the relays and fuses, under hood and in car..they're okay..
4. Checks main computer, everything is in order.
5. Checks and buys new cam shaft sensor, that's not it....
6. Checks timing and uses doohickey to see if piston pressure is okay. OK
7. Even uses ether to try to get it turned over..it backfired from spark.
From what I have seen while standing over the guys shoulder, the troubleshooting device sez everythings in order..the upstream sensors, the camshaft sensors, the 02 sensors, the Autoshut-down sensors, everything across the board green.
However I called a friend, he mentioned..is the check engine light on when you try to crank it?? Well, my answer is when you turn key to on pos. it comes on and goes of in three secs. But when you try to crank and hold key, the crank engine lights blinks rapidly. and that's the story. The car is high in mileage, at 156k and never had this problem before.
IF ANYONE OUT THERE KNOWS HOW TO GET "CODES" BY TURNING KEY, I'D APPRECIATE IT! thanks!
