I know there's a forum for this but there are only 4 people viewing there, and I have a major problemo.

Car won't start - Predator
Without going into details as to why, I unplugged a Predator from my vehicle without getting the "ok" from the unit. Now my car won't start. I plugged it back in... it said it had reset and was ok to unplug... my car still won't start. Ideas?

i cant tell you why its not working, but just wondering why you unplugged it early? did you not know to wait for the ok.

Is the car turning over or dead altogether?

It's not dead, as in dead battery dead. The gauge is reading 12v. It won't crank at all. Nada.

try unplugging the cable going into the computer next to the relay box in the engine bay for a few minutes, then plug it back in and try starting it. Saw my tuner do this when something happened the first time my car was on the dyno. Said he could fix it from the computer but that was a hell of lot easier. it worked, but that might have been something else...worth a try.

Unplugged fuses 5 and 20 before I got online. Just plugged them back in and it started. Letting in run now...

And now it won't start again.

HAAAAAALP. I have to get to work tomorrow, and my baby is in pain!

Disconnect the battery for awhile. Let everything reset itself.

TDC#2 · 06-09-2011, 08:30 PM

^ Will try. In the meantime, here's some music for your troubles...
