- Thu Jul 21, 2011 2:45 pm #264347 Blindly throwing parts at cars can get expensive, so testing them before replacement is always key! Were there any signs of trouble on your way home (before you parked) like a bouncy tach or lose of power?

I'd suggest checking the ground on the thermostat housing... Since your car is swapped its very possibly the 10mm has backed out just enough to cause issues.

If its not that, test the coil and ICM (ignition control module).

Good luck, hope its something simple.

check the coil, check the ICM.

yes, i suggested to check not replace unless obviously faulty.

- Tue Aug 02, 2011 3:31 am #265882 Is your car getting any power at all??? No radio, lights, nothing??? Can you push start it??? If this is the case its definately a ground.. I picked up a 92 GSR Teg for dirt cheap because someone didnt find a loose ground...lol. I ended up selling the car.. but I made a little bit, and I sold it to my brother, so I still drive it from time to time. Check ALL YOUR GROUNDS.
