CSI_MuNkY Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Any sign of what one the cooling fans go through? Everything that come son at start up has to go through them to some extent... Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I replaced the whole column with one out of a friend 96 GP SE, he never had any problems with it. And if it was a faulty ignition switch, wouldn't it only happen at start up? This problem has happened while driving at slow speeds... Jamie No, it can happen at any speed if the ign. switch is bad.

CSI_MuNkY Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I am thinking maybe starter? It happens on start up, but it hasn't ONLY happened at start up... Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuntzie Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Fixed Jamie what was it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 lol, I fixed the lol OK, so... If I am reading this drawing right, if it was something with that Transaxle Range switch or the SIR circuit, it would blow that 5 amp fuse long before blowing the 40A fuse. So that leaves the starting system. But how would that explain the car dieing after its been started? Some sort of short in one of the wires? when the car moves the shorted wire moves and blows the fuse? Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk_Diggler Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 If you have specific areas you think there is a short based on diagrams , keep the car running and start wiggling/tugging lightly on wires in that area until the fuse pops (assuming the car shuts off) , could give you an idea of where the bad connection is. I did this on my g/fs old cavalier with the headlight wiring , turned out to be a corroded wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI_MuNkY Posted May 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 So I arranged to have insurance on the car and took it to the track today... Test & tune At first we thought I might be hitting fuel cut, but then we thought its just not shifting and hitting the rev limiter. I am going to try tracking down a good ECM for it and see what happens then Here is a video, with 8 seconds left in the video you can hear what the car is doing. http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n81/GTP_MuNkY/Racing/05-02-2009/?action=view¤t=CIMG5715.flv Here is more about the day at the track http://www.w-body.com/forum/index.php?topic=78544.0 Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have it for the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
