Alrighty, this is gonna be a fun one. I've got a 626, 93. I changed the fuel filter and O2 sensor yesterday. Everything was done correctly, put it all back together, and went to drive it. I got it into second gear and the car dies... haven't started since. I figured out I'm not getting spark, which baffles me because what i did had nothing to do with that. Here's the kicker in all of it. whoever had the car before ran a thin red wire out of a fuse in the fuse box. when i move it, i can hear a click and the air bag light goes on and off on the instrument panel. If it's off, the car won't start. so the wire has to be in a good position. i tried that once, and that was the case. car started right up. but now it's not a factor. i'm so confused!!![:@] please help!!!

 

everyone i've talked to said to replace the ignition sensor or the igniter sensor. sound about right? i'm in a different city for the weekend, and absolutely DO NOT WANT TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP!!!!

 

does the car fire at all or jus crank?when your cranking the engine does the tach bounce when trying to start

 

It just cranks. The tach doesn't move. I've been told it might be the ingnition module? I don't know, this car has soooo many problems. I just changed the fuel filter and o2 sensor to try to get the stupid thing to idle right. If I adjust the timing, it revs too high all the time, but when I get that part right, then it idles under like 300, just enough to keep it from dying. All the seals are cracked so it's horribly insulated. When I run the heat, it takes forever to heat up. When it finally does, the windows fog up instantly. Bah! []
