So I purchased this car a few weeks ago from a friend with a leaking coolant flange. I got the car with no battery or stereo in it. replaced the flange. Put a battery in it, turn the key and nothing happens. Dash lights and everything else works. Check fuses and grounds and what not and can't find anything. When I turn the key it's not building fuel pressure either. Also the fans have a mind of their own and turn on and off as they please key on or not which I figure is a relay or controller. Any idea on where to start ? Car is a 5 speed

nothing, as in, no starter, no fuel pump, no nothing?

Heineman21

Yes. When I turn the key it doesn't make a sound and does nothing. The dash says press clutch pedal to start. I took the fuel line off the fuel rail and cycled the key and no fuel.

I have 12.6v going to the starter.

But no power going through the wire to the starter solenoid, so that rules out the starter. I can't find anything for a relay or anything. Help would be appreciated.

So even if you depress the clutch, that message doesn't go away? check the clutch switch?

Heineman21

No it doesn't go away. Think I found the problem tho. The cover to the ecu is cracked and some of the relays got wet. I ordered the relays so hopefully this fixs it

Heineman21

Got the relays in and replaced them and still nothing. Makes some more clicking and buzzing noises up the hood and the fans don't come on nut still no fuel or crank. Anyone one have any other ideas ?

Heineman21

I decided to jump the starter and the car fired right up. Could it be an ignition switch or neutral safety switch. Any way to test them or any ideas

I was able to pull some codes. All it came up with was a 18010 and a 18057. Anyone have any input ???
