okay, i am getting soo mad at this car..
I just moved all my wires back to inside the engine compartment "they were in the fenderwell" I had the starter solenoid and all its wiring and all the grounds that are under it under the fender. I just moved them back to the engine compartment because a check engine light came on, and when I tried to scan it, it says 'vehicle not responding'. I have looked in the chiltons book and its pretty vague, if I try to jump the obd port to pull codes manually, nothing happends. what wire could cause the computer to not read any of the sensors, or set this light and not let the scanner communicate with the ecu.?? I am pretty sure I have it all hooked up right, maybe someone could tell me exactly what wires they have hooked up to the solenoid, and what wires are grounded in the harness under it? so I can compare, the chiltons wiring diagram, "does not help" I have looked at it and its too vague. thanks for any info.. p.s. the car runs like crap also.. pings really bad.
