Replaced the PCV valve on my 2006 2.3L 3S. The one way down deep in there, where you have to take off the manifold, throttle body, etc.

The operation itself goes fairly smooth, and the valve was pretty gummed-up.

I'm real careful with re-assembly, new gaskets, new o-rings, I'm sure to connect all wires and use proper torques.

I go to start...turn ignition to ON position...and no crank. Starter doesn't turn over.

My dashboard lights up, my battery has 12V, my relays work. Everything worked fine prior to this procedure.

Any ideas as to why I now have no crank.

I'm turning my attention to the starter, maybe working in the engine bay inadvertently weakened a ground wire connection?

Thanks,
AG

 

Got it!

Rolled the car off the ramps, onto flat ground, turned key into ON position, moved shiftier into neutral...car started.

I'm guessing the park/neutral switch tricked-out for a second...I don't know.

Went for a test run, after which I shut the car off and on again two twice...everything seems to be working OK for now.
