No Start Again
1999 SW2 again. I took the car and had the codes checked-the only one that
could apply was P1635 5 volt reference in # 1 circuit. I have not checked out exactly what it means yet. Anyway, the car started fine this morning, ran well, and was fine with repeated start-ups. When I got home from work, I tried to start the car again but it would not fire up. This time, I was aware of several things. With the ignition on, the fuel gauge did not respond at all. Also, the low fuel light was flashing. Could the problem be that the fuel sensor is not working, so the fuel pump is not turning on? |

You want it to be the former - the latter means new computer > Anyway, the car started fine this morning, ran well, and was fine with > repeated start-ups.

Yuck. > Could the problem be that the fuel sensor is not working, so the fuel pump > is not turning on? I'm guessing the sensor's a victim here. It can't read anything with no +5V power. I'm betting you've got a chaffed wire somewhere in the harness that's intemittantly grounding out the +5V line, which kills all your sensors that depend on it, and tosses a trouble code. |
