 |
|
Alright, after trying to figure this out all day im finally ready to ask for help. I have a 2001 Eurovan. I replaced the heater core yesterday and got the last plastic bits put back together this morning and BOOM, no start..
I have check all the wiring under the dash to see if I missed any plugs and I cant find anything at all. I dropped the fuse box down and have spent a good part of the day in that area looking for broken wires or blown fuses, but am still where I started..
When the key is turned to pos. 2 everything lights up, but the warning bulbs in the clusted flicker faintly for about 2 seconds which was not happening before. The van will crank and crank, pulled a plug and smells like gas, not soaked though.
I have checked and am not getting spark. Checked pin 1 and 2 at the coils and get a ground signal with a 4-5ohm resistance to ground (battery). pin 3 gets +12.
The van ran great before the dash came out so I just know it has to be some wiring under there. I have searched high and low and cant come up with any sort of wiring diagram for this car.
I would really appreciate any help with this mess. |

I have no first hand experience with this vehicle and it's problem.
But it reminds me of an issue I had after pulling a dash on a jeep.........do you have all your grounds connected?

I have checked and rechecked all the wiring that I can access from having the knee impact panels removed. I am just so stumped by this and im sure it will end up being something stupid..
I cant seem to figure out what relays to check. Nothing I can find tells me what each relay is for. I see in some of the older Eurovans there is a relay in spot #3 that supplies power to the ECU. For this year im coming up with a whole lot of nothing.. |

| You might try searching for the issue on vwvortex in the GTI section to see if the issue has come up with the cars equipped with the same engine. |
