you hear the fuel pump before cranking? checked any loose grounds? pretty interesting situation you got there. Scooby is still lookin sexy i see

 

Sounds like bad ground to me. I'd check the neg battery terminal, make sure the ring is on there tight and that the terminal is solid. Is it an OE style battery?

 

Yup got the battery from winchester 2 years ago..

 

Man......your car looks amazing. Sounds like something electrical.... but let your tuner deal with it.

 

When it started the second time did your cluster come to life?

 

When i tried it after getting dropped off at the house..i put the key in "ON" and the cluster is fully functional CEL, brake, oil..everything.
I crank it ans it turned over but died again..

Took the battery out and got it tested, they said its pretty low on charge..so im guessing the alternator is done...?..maybe? Hopefully its just that and nothing too major.

Its gonna take me a while to go thru the alternator...i still have my "plate delete" order that i need to finish :/

 

Update:
I got the battery back from auto parts store after getting it charged last noght
Put it back to the car and tried to crank it but nothing

Thins morning, i tried again, i put the kye on "ON" the xcluster lights works then died after 10sec

 

Anyone free this sunday and help me figure things out?

 

get a voltmeter on the battery and see what the voltage does with the key on and when cranking.

 

Last time I had something similar to this (car would crank, just start then immediately die) it turned out to be a bit of plastic from the new AEM filter jammed in the MAF & blocking it from sensing airflow.
I was sure it was spark, or fuel related, but it ended up being the 3rd side of the triangle.might be worth a look just in case.

 

Ill try that next time..

 

Hopefully its something easy as that is the problem

 

Im really thinking its either a fuel pump starting to go out, a bad ground on, or maybe even an ignition switch

 

Update:

Narrowed down the problem, my friend and i found out the issue by using a power probe...
The ignition swtich is ok but from the ignition to the ignition fuse (near my left knee) doesnt have a connection. The fuse for ignition is not blown, we tried switching it to another 15amp fuse and nothing.

Is there another relay or fuse in between the ignition going to the fuse box? Anyone got a wiring diagram/schematics of the ignition to fuse box? Pls lmk

 

Fuse 11 powers the fuel pump relay. Can you pull the fuel line off the filter and check

a) are you getting fuel pressure with the key in start?

b) are you getting fuel pressure when cranking?


***Take proper precautions to make sure you dont have fuel spraying everywhere and burn down your car and house.***


I'll try to post up the wiring diagrams after you post up your answers. What Im having a hard time getting my head around is how your car starts up randomly if you have no power to the fuel pump relay. Either its a intermittent electrical issue or user/equipment error on probing. Maybe smack the back to the fuse block and do a little wire tugging (no homo) to see if you get power at the fuse? try swapping fuel pump relay with a similar relay?
