i thought.... went out and bought a battery for 120bux... didnt solve shit. after 30mins of tring to start it did and I went to work just fine. car sat for 9 hours. after work i tried to get it started for and hour and nothing. Its getting fuel, you can smell it. theres a spark from plug one. i took out one plug and it had gas on it, but still. IDK im pretty fed up now, just wasted 100bux on a battery i didnt really need :(

wheres that? I know I fried somthing after jumping a car two weeks ago. Sounds like my car wants to start but never does...

[ethrtyiS]

its a small box to the left of the fuse box.



its the one on the left, its the main relay but it also powers the ignition coil.

yeah, but they should be replaced anyways, they are a maintenance item.

[e30trooper]

didnt know that, how much r new ones?

[ethrtyiS]

not sure, check rmeuro, probably no more than 15 bucks.
also, i would recheck your fuses.
if all else, snatch an ecu at the yard and see if that solves your issue.
could also be your obc relay.
