Hey there fellas, how's everyone doing? Its been a while since I've been on the board. My car is in hiding right now so I haven't been out much this year.
Anyways, one of my friends in Tinley recently bought a buick and is having trouble with a no-start condition. Would any of you be willing to take a look at it for him? Work has been crazy for me so I haven't had time to stop by there and help out.
His car starts and then dies (very similar to the anti-theft feature some chip burners put in their chips). The car ran fine and then one day it died while he was driving it and hasn't started since. If we put an old chip in the car (for his old, stock combo), the car starts and runs, but runs rough. The car also starts and runs with no chip in the ecu, but again, it runs rough. I had him order a turbo tweak chip (thinking it was the chip), but it does the same thing (starts, then dies). He also bought a new ecu, same problem. I am running out of ideas here and since I run a BS3, I dont have any parts I can swap with him to help figure out what is going on.
If anyone can help out, please shoot me a PM so I can pass along contact info. Thanks again, and see you all out in 09
