    car won't start

    Me and my friends finally fixed my car. It started and ran fine, afterwards my friend installed a fuel kill switch which worked fine we tested 3x after that it wouldnlt start. My check engine light stop coming on and I don't here clicking of the relay or humming of the fuel pump, we undid the switch and wired the connection together and still have the same symptoms. We can't figure out what happened.

    We checked the fuses and they're good and the grounds are connected. What could be the problem b'cuz the car willl not start.

      ^^^^ Check all your fuses again. And double check the kill switch wire...

      BTW, What do you hear when you are trying to start the car? Describe to us in details and we can probably let you know what it may be...

      It could be your battery is dead...


      Or your starter is dead....

      Try hitting the starter a couple of times with a metal bar of some sort, then try and start it. If it works, then its your starter

      Hope this helps

          I check both ecu fuses and change them outwith new fuses still the same the the car cranks normally so it's not the starter or the batt. Its just not sending fuel. I pulled the switch and twisted the wires together and still got nothing I know we cut the right wire to the pump.

            Your fuel pump isn't getting power. Thats what the check engine light is when you turn the car to ACC before starting. Could be a bad switch.

                  could be the main relay under the dash if you turn the key forward and dont hear the pump hum then it could be that.
