I have been trying to diagnose a no-start condition in my t-type since last winter. I've tried everything in the flow chart, and there is no sign of anything being wrong with it. i have fuel, spark, timing, cam signal, and crank signal. I have replaced both the ignition module and the coil packs. After all that, it still only cranks.
Thinking back to what happened the night before it stopped running, I recently had another idea about what could have happened. That night, I was doing donuts in the snow with my buddy. I had recently put a Commander chip with anti-theft feature in, and the ECM box was lying on the floorboard with no chip cover installed. I remember that the floorboards were wet because we were getting in and out with snow-covered feet. With that chip, I have to perform a sequence to de-activate the anti-theft feature before I start the car, or it just cranks.
Anyway, is it possible that if the chip got wet, it got damaged so that it wouldn't de-activate the anti-theft and let the car start? that's about all i can come up with at this point. could i test this by putting the stock chip back in? would the car even start with the stock chip, being that i now have 65 lb. injectors?
