Is there anyway to "hot wire" start these engines? I seem to have power to the ignition, starter and the ecm but nothing to the module, coil, and intern nothing to the cam sensor and injectors. Readings in and out of the ecm are ok. I've replaced almost every main componant,fuses, ecm,coil,module,cam sensor,crank sensor and someone told me it had to be a bad wire somewhere in the harness so I have just replaced it (not easy by the way) and still the same problem. Is it possible that the fuse block is bad not letting power get somewhere it needs to go and if so can it be temporarily bypassed to get power to the module and start it that way? I just need a temporary fix that would give me more options on what is really wrong here.
Thanks in advance.......
 
Take a long wire with aligator tips- Connect 1 end to the starter solenoid. Turn your key to the on position. Then connect the other end to the positive terminal on the battery and the car should crank over.

It cranks fine. It doesn't seem to be getting any power to the ignition module. I'm definately no expert but seems to me that there should be power to the module and it is transfered to the cam sensor which in turn sends a signal back to the injectors telling them when to spray fuel. The same holds true for the module sending a curent to the crank sensor and in turn it sends a signal back to the coil telling it when to start fireing. This may be more of a simple way of putting it but thats how I understand it. Someone please tell me if I'm wrong and put me on the right track. I have power to the ecm and to the starter. When I turn the key it cranks fine. I've checked the volts (as to the "no start instructions") and they check out fine at the ecm but nothing at the ignition module, cam sensor or crank sensor. I've replaced all these parts and still no help. Is there a direct way to get power to the ignition module to check if there is a break in the line somewhere? Looks like if everything else was working except for power to the module then seems like I could hot wire it to get power to the coil and injectors. I just don't know if this is exactly possible and if so which wire is the hot wire. Someone please help!!:confused:
