Unplug the orange wire from the hood for about 10 seconds then plug it back in. THen start the car.

battery in trunk computer tied into load side of cutoff switch also happened 2 weeks ago went out of town on business came back yesterday put it back together this morning just went out and checked that again still no start ?????

If the cranking voltage is to low the ecu will go into flash mode also, or have you grounded the flash wire some how? Is the crank light flashing red?

I doubt it's your program. I would plug your laptop in and verify your sensors are reading correctly and the program is correct. Remember the XFI will crank in B2B mode so the lights may fool you. Since your injector lights are flashing, you have a crank signal. If you are CCCI ignition you probably have a cam signal too. The computer really can't go to a "default" program.

i will plug the computer in and check might need some help with that what is ccci and while i was out of town for 2 weeks i turned all power off to car

 

[turbo george]

When you turn the ignition on what lights are on the xfi box ?

 

[turbo george]

ignition on just green power led crank motor power green
crank red
cam flashing yellow 2-3 second flashes
points fast flashing orange
cylinders 8 instead of 6 but not very bright

 

[norbs]

OK that seems right. SO you can;t communicate with the computer, what happens when you press f2 with the key on? does it sat ecu not found, or com port fail open?

 

[turbo george]

the cylinders is not right should only have 6 led running and it doesn't fire after cranking

 

[turbo george]

didn't second half of your post daaaa says ecu not found

 

[norbs]

the cylinders is not right should only have 6 led running and it doesn't fire after cranking

You have lost +12v power to your injectors. I have just verified this, go check for a blown fuse as Cal was mentioning. Turn thr key on and probe both sides of all the fuses with a test light.

This is what happens with no power at the injectors.

This is what happens when you have power at the injectors....

[turbo george]

just got back from dinner the second video with power at the injectors appears to be my issue i wish i had those computer skills as well

 

[norbs]

George did you make any progress? Your saying all 8 lights are flashing while cranking? That is normal.

 

[turbo george]

got busy with work now sitting in hotel room will get back to it this week will let you know when i get back first chance had to get back on site really appreciate the help among community members

 

[norbs]

No problem, I'm sure you will figure it out.

 

[turbo george]

just a post to thank cal ten minutes on the phone while he was on his way to bg and he found the problem tps sensor went bad he put a bandaide on it and back to life she came yea!!!!! (would have been five if cell phones didn't break up and i would put on my glasses)

 

[HighPSI]

Glad you're back running, George. I am wondering if the steam from your broken thermostat housing damaged the TPS

 

[turbo george]

either that or water got on it it went all over that side of motor because of the fan once again thanks cal
