Re: Crankee, no sparkee

hah, good call shameem...i had visually checked the fuses but i went and rechecked them with a meter, and the injector fuse was the culprit. oddly, the CEL works now too, which doesn't make much sense to me but i'm not complaining.

Re: Crankee, no sparkee

I don't have the old air flow sensor. I didn't mess with it between the car running and the car not running, but I'll check the connection. I'm thinking I need to check the ignition switch, too.

Oh, and I'd be very interested in this procedure for getting the instrument cluster out without ...

Crankee, no sparkee

I took the car in for a transmission rebuild and a new oil pan seal. Ended up also replacing engine mounts and the air flow sensor. But when I got the car home it still had no power and was getting ...
