Ok so I installed a water meth kit last night. Once installed and tested, I tried to turn the car on. It wont turn over. I have the power for the pump and progressive controller run off the radio not the ignition harness. I checked all my spark plugs and everything. Any thoughts would be uber helpful.

bump...

 

Just an idea: CAN systems run with many modules controlling many different parts/ functions of a car. They are usually placed in close proximity(sp) to the items they are controlling. They all work in harmony to have the car run dividing the load of processes to the different areas in which they are in yet they communicate with each other as to what they are doing. With this in mind, also know that they check each other for reference amperage by running a component check before you can finish turning the key to the run position ( its a very fast process). By adding an electrical load to any circuit that is in these lines, you have created a situation which it recognizes as being in error as it is out of parameters and will not allow the car to even turn over. This happened to a friend of mine here at a dealership where a night crew guy replaced a light bulb in the tail light that he saw was out, accidently put the incorrect bulb in with a higher amperage requirement, and the car would not turn over( brand new car off the carrier). hope this helps, and like i said, its just an idea.

 

reinstall factory parts try to start it check battery and or disconnect battery overnight try to start in morning after reconnecting battery check all fuses ... why ? something electrical ......

 

hmm chico you might be onto something there.

 

NO NO NO .. I hooked up all KINDSA **** to my switched 12v outputs and never had something like that happen IN MY BALT either.. Atleast not in any economy GM car I have ever seen .. But I would disconnect the meth system install factory parts reset battery check fuses . start it ... SHell go... A car not starting cuz wrong voltage consumed by a switched output sounds rediculous ... Why? It would **** a consumer off if it doesn't "damage" the internal systems wiring and it can support the load why run new wires to something.

The radio output is pretty mutch just a switched 12v fused output and isn't regulated by the ECU!!! but creating a short or other electrical problems during the installation can be a real bitch to locate. might just be something little like a harness or loose wire you bumped.

Good Luck !

 

hmmm ok i'm down trying to take out wires now...I'll letcha know what happens.

 

amperage is what the modules look at to work correctly and check themselves. It all depends on how the wiring was done to run the pump and controller and if any shorts/open lines/excessive loads were created while doing it. but in any case, i hope you find your problem man,good luck

 

still not working ladies and gents

 

Hooking p to the radio/batt fuse wouldnt affect anything since thats a constant hot fuse anyway.

What exactly does tis thing hook to besdies power/ground?
