Anyone in the atlanta area have a speed flywheel sensor?
my car died today, and it will not start. When i crank it the tach does not bounce...

 

Did yous try jiggling the **** out of them. Tach not bouncing can also be a DME relay or DME

We had something funky like this happen on the yellow car. It just randomly didnt start for some weird *** reason, even though it had been running litearally 2 minutes prior. Dr Boost ended up holding the contacts on the DME relay and it started up!

 

Unplug and replug the connections. Worked on my car.

I ordered new ones after that. It's worth the extra measure of reliability. Add new gas lines to the mix, and maybe, just maybe, I can convince my parents to let me drive it to the fest next year (if there is one).

 

you might have to call up auto atlanta

 

okay anyone in atlanta have an early car DME that i can borrow? I am going to to test the sensors now, to see if they are good... My car is stuck outside my house on the street, and I need it to get home.

 

auto atlanta has none, supposedly they have been having trouble, because lots of people have been calling, and they don't have any...

 

Carl, I can help you but it will have to be this afternoon after I get off work.

albert, that would be great, i will not have access to a car until later today anyways.
I'll PM you my cellphone number.

 

Once you get it started, if you have any trouble coming up I-65, give me a ring. I will help you out. I will PM you my phone#

I recently repaired my DME, Click on this thread.

My issue was that the car would randomly and suddenly die and then would not re-start. It would turn over fine, just wouldn't fire. I think the tach needle would move when I cranked it, although I don't recall for sure.

Anyway, hope that gets you going again.

 

Dudley had a problem with his car that ended up being the DME. The tach DID move when it was being cranked. Nice lil curveball thrown in there.

 

okay, I followed the clarks garage directions and checked the resistance on the two sensors, everythign seemed fine, but the part that i don't understand is I am not getting any reading on the outside two pins on either sensor, can't explain that.... anyone?

 

Nevermind, my readings are within spec on the speed and ref sensors. Thank goodness i am not studying electrical engineering....

so could a bad DME cause the tach not to bounce when cranking the car?

 

Not sure but it's the next thing to check. Before you crack the DME case open just try bangning on it some and then try and start. If you get it to start then you've found your culprit. Resoldering those two pins is really no big deal, the hard part was isolating them for me. Hopefully my pics on that thread will point you in the right direction.

May the force be with you.

 

DME did not work.
Is there anything besides the speed sensor that can cause the tach not to bounce when cranking the car over?
