Car just quit on me. I try to start but barely runs!

 

as the car cools it starts up but is running like ****. chp is here to help me out right now...

 

injectors clicking with ignition on now

 

First thing we need is more information.

What model year is it, what modifications could affect this, how was the car running before it quit, did you notice any other symptoms.

Have you worked on the car lately, what did you work on?

Have you checked anything obvious like fuses or relays? What resources do you have to work on it? What is your general situation?

I know if I can help (doubtful as I'm a novice) I'd love to, and I know everyone here is more than willing to help, but in any emergency situation if you're asking for help, the more information you can give us, the more likely we'll be able to find a solution.

 

Mongo has a 1987 S4.

 

getting flat bedded now.... Will check it out when I get home. Possibly bad LH again...

 

Well I"m back home..... I swapped my old LH in and it runs like crap, but idles somewhat normal compared to what happened earlier. The injectors do not click with my old LH when the ignition is on...



I am now officially without a car for a while because one LH has a failed idle circuit and the other is clicking injectors like crazy. Spark plugs are totally fouled for sure.

 

Have you checked the throttle position sensor?

 

its not the tps if I can hear injectors clicking before restarting the car.

 

Is there anyone close that can swap LH with you just to be sure? You really ought to put your car specs in your signature area...

 

Its stock. I dont have a normal operating LH at this moment to swap for.

 

After reading your "auto vs manual LH" post, I'm wondering if there can be a faulty component that can "kill" an LH.... Have you cleaned all of your grounds and replaced your negative battery strap? I've had run ins with 944 brain boxes before. I know there is an outfit somewhere that rebuilds them. Is there someone stateside that services the LH boxes? It seems that with all the modern ignition systems available today, that it's a losing battle replacing a 20 year old component with another 20 year old component...

 

When the TPS went in my old 87 I heard clicking. When I swapped the Ecu/Ezk it helped but it was the TPS.

 

You have now obtained Official Drama Llama status.

Get it sorted out.

 

sorry had to



if that occurs before you even crank the motor..dude..you just blew up an LH from my experience. I hope im wrong. You have something very ELECTRICALLY wrong in there some where.
