On the siren.. you don't need a battery inside, I soldered a 330 ohm resistor between siren batt positive and pin #2 I believe, which is car batt positive. That way you won't have to replace siren again. If you buy a used siren make sure you can return it if it does not work, then open it up to clean the batt leaks off pcb. All used ones are off old cars of course and have some damage from batt leaking inside.
I decided to detail the car last night and it was parked on the hill. Kept moving the seats and such and started the car to charge the battery. Finally done go to start it and it won't turn over. Okay.. here we go. Plug in obd and I'm getting a camshaft position sensor code, cleared it and put 2 gallons of gas in and it started right up... oops. No more codes. But should I fill up this fuse panel in the back or leave as is? I'm not trying to fix anything that's not broken right now, because that list is long and I'm on a bad luck streak.
Still didn't pull the wheels off, I got consumed with cleaning and then not starting. I don't think the previous owner put 93 in it, the starting seems to be getting better.. im thinking a lot of bad gas has ran through this car.
alarm is still hooked up. I tried pulling the fuse and such.. Monday I'm going to Harrys u pull and hopefully coming back with a shopping cart full, haha.. I hate the cup holder next to the sterio I need to find just the plain insert. Also has anyone ever attempted to put the stock lock on the gas door? This car doesn't have it and was hoping to get a lock and switch from another because i5 looks like all the wiring is there. Im rambling, I hate responding from mobile.
The correct fuses are already fitted for your own option configuration; if you add more fuses Mr Electron will travel to new destinations and call back to the mothership that it's a dead end street.
You may have a weak fuel pump; they tend to play up on low fuel levels and when the passenger side (on LHD cars) is tilted up.
When it doesn't start undo the little tire valve cap on the end of the fuel rail & press the valve in with the butt end of the cap. You should get a strong squirted jet of fuel spray out.
