So i installed the stage 3 kit from zzp today, everything went pretty smooth untill i went to start the car. it just clicks like the battery is dead, But its not, and i tried the security realearn with no luck. any help would be great.

 

Sure the PCM is completely plugged in?

Joel

 

yea im positive.. im clueless at this point .. my DD too which makes it that much worse

 

Did you try jumping the car? Roll starting it? Did you disconnect the battery before removing the old PCM and installing it? Did you try removing cables and reconnecting on the battery after install?

Joel

 

And what leads you to conclude it's not a dead battery? If it's the security system, your starter won't even click.

 

do you still have your old PCM? If so try reinstalling that to see if you have any life.

 

ya id try jumping the bitch.. if u didnt disconnect the battery while install might have left a light on or something. that killed my battery once ha. jumped it and havent had a problem since. its weird but ya. give it a shot bro.

 

Not to worry, my car runs fine .

The OP might want to try this though if jumping it doesn't work.

Joel

 

HAHAH sorry posting inbetween games of Halo.

 

curious to see what happens

 

yea i tried jumping it off still nothing

 

As already said, I recommend installing the previous ECM to see if it turns over fine. If so, then put the new ECM back in and try the relearn procedure again.

 

did he order the pcm or just get the file

 

if that doesnt work, someone forgot to do something

 

Wait, random question. If he puts in the stock PCM with the stock tune won't it be er.. not good when it starts?

Joel

 

did you buy the ecm from them or the file

 

well as long as it does more(turn over/try to start & run)


but even with bigger injectors on a stock tune should fire/run...just not right

 

Yea he will be fine as long as he stays out of boost. Idling in his garage wont hurt a thing

 

pretty sure my car is F***** just pulled the supercharger and intake .. all full of coolent

 

WTF?! how did that happen if the car didnt even start?!

 

because something wasnt sealed up/put back properly and it seeped in would be my guess


from the intercooler system...dual pass(core swap) would make sense

 

Well there's Your problem

 

did you do a dual pass also?

 

If it got into your pistons then that would explain why it just clicks, fluid doesn't compress. It would be unable to crank. (unless your starters are strong enough to bend rods, I'm not sure but I'd doubt it).

I'm with Rootbeer though, did you do a dual pass endplate too?

Joel

 

pull spark plugs see if theres coolant on top of the pistons
