My 95 was running just fine until the other day when I turned it off at Lowe's and when I get back in the car it wont start. I have replaced the CCRM, fuel pump, Cam positioning sensor, and crank sensor. The motor turns over and won't start. I am not getting power to the crank sensor, injectors or coil, I have had this checked by 3 people already. My question is what else am i missing here? Also the fuse box under the hood has no power to the "L SPD EDF MNTR" fuse, and if I am correct (if they are on the same line) the CCRM Fuse under the dash doesnt have power either. I have heard something about the anti-theft system on the car cutting power to these things and a few more things, or could it be the ECM or something else.

Thanks, Calvin

My 98 had a similar problem, the alarm went off about 15 minutes after I parked it and the key fob stopped working. I had to disconnect the battery to get the alarm to stop. When I hooked the battery back up that is when it had the symptoms you are describing. The fix, was to short the connector in the trunk and reset the remote.... sorta, the alarm still goes off if I lock it with the key fob, I just have to unlock the driver door with the key and it stops. it has been that way for at least three years.

(this is free and fast and easy maybe it will fix your issue)
