Where you say you have tried swapping the ecm, maf , and other, get it hot and shut it off where it doesnt start and pour ice water over the coil and module and see if it starts, I have had stuff run fine as long as its under a certain temp,

definition, poor conductor of electricity, but an efficient supporter of electrostatic fields. which is why Allison didnt like it can send a spike back to the ecm when the field collapes stops corrosion and moisture

You have to be careful with dielectric though it is It is not recommended for use on computer connections at all, works good on light sockets and such I used to use it on a lot of things till I did inspection work for Allison Transmissions and its a big no no on computer connections for...

I asked earlier about the condition of the alternator you said it wasnt the problem in an earlier post is it new? If it is not new you can disconnect all the wires to it and let it set, sometimes you can see a spark when you hook up the positive wire which doesnt mean it is a draw and on the...

It should work fine but there is a good chance it isnt the right gear ratio wont affect driving just how quick it turns,

anything if the back for upgrades? swaybar, or anything else

Jen the fuses are under the dash by your left foot, if the panel is still on under the dash there is a small door that will open to get to them but it is best to remove the panel, it is difficult to see much through the door, the short problem with them is an internal problem, not really a...

Go to the engine tech section and look at Changing My Timing Chain thread, and that will show you what happens and it always miles,(age)

I would bet it is still original and the oil breaks the nylon down over time and it will come apart, which plugs up your pickup screen for your engine oil pump and from there the rest is money

If it has an original chain and gear it needs to be replaced, miles mean nothing, it is nylon faced and will come apart, if the other guy didnt do it I would at the least check it

DITTO My GN would do that over a couple weeks from the alarm, I could never figure out if it was stock or aftermarket, when I pulled all the fuses it quit.

What is your budget, when you say build motor are you meaning up grades or rebuild? You shouldnt have to do much if it is a good engine, bolt ons, will go a long way and depends on the condition of the car to start with, does it need new springs and shocks if they are good, do some bolton...

your other worst problem is if it isnt on a fused circuit, also the short finder wont help much unless it becomes a short instead of a draw.

When you say it isnt the battery or alt have they been replaced? or checked, quickest way to check the alt if it isnt new is to completely disconnect it and let it set and see if it drains, anything else like the hood light, even if there is no bulb, glove box , trunk light, where you say it...
