crank, fuel prime, no spark, no cell. No obdII connect. Checked timing belt-good. Checked engine timing-good.

Key chip lost contact with immobilizer. Need Oem key. Duh!
 
Let the kid know he need is other master chip key. Beyond that I’m stumped ☹️.

Does anyone know if the OEM jumper port under hood will respond with no CEL..Will it force the ecm to do blink codes?
 
That fuse box has the retrofitted relay to solve the crank/no start issue. Did you check the inline fuse in that retrofitted relay?
 
The owner was able to get the original chip key and it still won’t start. Not sure if the CEL has come on.

Does anyone have some advice to give. I think he’s a little miffed about it and I don’t want to give up on it.
 
It was suggested that the ECM is not powering up. Has anyone a link to the resource where I can check available voltage at the harness to the ECM? Or a trouble tree for that diagnostic? Thanks!
 
I posted this up for another member with a voltage problem but the same checks apply...

The manuals are free to download in the resource menu above.

Check out DI-279 and DI-280 of the manual. It goes through the necessary voltage checks at the ecm.
You should be getting a constant batt voltage with key out/off. You'll want to back probe the terminal while connected to the ecm.
I believe it's connector/pin E(9)-1.
-Voltage ok (9-14v) = bad ecm
-Voltage ng = efi 20 amp circuit short/fault

A bit of a pain to meter since they didn't leave a lot of wiggle room with the harness while connected to the ecm, and you'll need a small gauge pin to fit in the backside of the connector.
 
I spent a better part of a week pinning the ecm for voltage faults. I will tell you that the fsm can be a bit contradicting
in its voltage/ohm checks.

Ok great! Thanks a million. If he decides he wants to continue with me to sort it out I will do this.
