Wont start

[Flyinhigh842]

Ok, well here is the whole story...

Was missing on occasion so i narrowed it down to a fouled plug, changed the plugs but was a little rushed doing it... first mistake im sure... took a couple tries to start it after i changed the plugs but then fired up and ran like a champ for a few days, even took a 6 hr trip in it. Parked it in front of my house yesterday, all was fine still, and when i tried to start it today all it does is crank, no vrooom... SO, im going to recheck all the connections to the coil packs, and get back to you guys, just thought i would share and get the gears turnin while i start lookin at it... Thanks in advance for the help trouble shooting.

**Pulled a plug, checked for a spark, there was none... but we did have power to the coil...

**Checked the 50AMP fuse, was still good

**Tried shorting out the harness of the fuel pump resistor, no luck...

TCS light blinking 34 is VREF reference voltage is abnormal... ok so how do i go about fixing it? and does that have anythign to do with it not starting??

Just tried starting with starter fluid, so def no spark....

If you have power to the coil but no spark when you crank the engine, then I would start looking at the crank trigger/crank position sensor.

I am dealing with 2 seperate issues right? The TCS code 34 shouldnt effect the car not starting right??

Looks like it. A traction control system issue won't keep the car from starting.

Well then... problem solved and runs beautiful again. A few points on the main relay needed to be re-soldered back... Took a little trouble shooting, but now i know.... "and knowing is half the battle"

Thanks for your inputs!

Glad to hear you got it fixed.

I hear this is a common problem. You can fix the relay like you did or replace it with a new one. So far I've been lucky but I also have a spare relay in the trunk just in case.
