Today I was bored so I went out to my shop through at least 20 feet of snow to start the cars. They haven't been started since I put them to sleep back in November. Daily started right up. Stage is up on the lift so I didn't even attempt to start it, which brings me to the T-Type. It wouldn't start....or even attempt to start. When I put it away I simply turned if off so nothing has been changed in the last few months.
At first I thought the B2B FAST ECM maybe needed more cranking fuel for this cold weather so I connected the laptop.
First clue...The laptop won't connect to the ECM.
Second clue .... No fuel pump running.
Third clue ... I hooked up a Noid light, no power to the injectors.
Took out my ATS from the up pipe, squirted a little gasoline into it....ran a wire to the fuel pump connector under the hood, pump started then I tried the engine and it started but stopped once the free fuel in the up pipe had been used...couple of seconds.
I can't remove the seat to remove the ECM because the car is crammed in my shop so it'll have to wait till the spring and I can push it outside.
In the mean time.....
I know I stuck a bunch of wires, connectors and I "think" a relay and a fuse holder into the passenger side kick panel when I installed the FAST, but which I can't get at conveniently till said spring so with the above clues is it possible that the fuse in the FAST connector in the kick panel blew? I don't know exactly what this fuse controls. Can't be the whole ECM since I have spark.
I'm not in a hurry since it'll be a few more months till I get to it .... I'm just curious.
One more thing ... Craig if you read this, no I haven't installed your upgrade yet so that isn't involved.
Thanks.
