Hi all,
My 96 has developed a no-start condition. I have performed the following, and the problem still persists:
Checked all fuses with multimeter. All good.
Checked inertia switch in trunk. Button pressed down.
Pulled codes. The only code present was a P0412 code which was there before this problem started. (Secondary air pump problem)
Ruled out PATS as a issue by observing that the "THEFT" light was NOT coming on during cranking. (Correction: It *does* come one while cranking*)
The car briefly starts when going into "Clear flood" by holding the gas pedal to the floor when cranking. The car will fire, run for a few seconds, then cut out. I did this twice with this method. From my understanding, PATS will not allow this to occur. True?
Disconnected both battery cables for 10 minutes, then reconnected. No change.
I performed a visual inspection to check for any loose or unconnected wiring connections. None found.
I have not changed or added anything before the problem started. I did clean the engine a week ago, but I drove the car afterwards with no issues. The car had been running well up until this weekend, when I discovered it wouldn't start.
I have ordered a cam position sensor and a crankshaft position sensor from LMR that I will install next.
Does anyone have any other ideas I may have missed? Thanks so much for any advice! Most of the things I have done were found on this forum.
Mahalo again!
