Calling all AEM Gurus - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

eyekndy · 09-22-2009, 04:58 PM

Quick Summary..I was driving down the interstate and my car just dies. I get it towed home. I replace coils and PTU. Car still wont start. I test MFI Relay it passes all tests. Still no spark. I have nothing else to check besides the crank/cam sensor and the AEM.
Now I am new to AEM. Can I check if the crank/cam sensor is working from the main view that comes up when I connect to the AEM?
How do I check to make sure the AEM is sending the signal for ignition? I can navigate through the screen on the AEM I just need some guidence so I know what I am looking for.

Thanks

Does your car still crank? If so, based on a personal experience, check to see if your cam gears line up with the timing marks.

the AEM it will show an ignition trigger.

Yes car cranks just fine, but there is no spark at the plug wires. Car was running fine then just died while driving. Wouldn't I hear/notice something if I jumped the timing belt?

Where is this at? Which screen do I pull up?

Pull off your front valve cover. Look for any signs of carnage.

When my car jumped timing, it did the EXACT same thing. Didn't hear anything happen, it just died. I did all the electrical troubleshooting and replacing of components until someone told me the exact same advice I'm giving you and all my rockers on the intake side were sitting in the bottom.

I was pissed.

go to AEM pro, on the top bar go to engine start, then on the drop down menu click on engine start, the it will be in the lower right corner, well thats where it is on mine.

Sweet, I will check that out. Now I also saw a crank sensor window as well. What should this be at? I will get a screen print up shortly.

I hope so too, for your sake. But you can always look at it as time for new upgrades

I went through the same exact problems and it turned out to be the AEM itself. I sent my aem back to them to figure out whats wrong with it. I'm still waiting for them to call me back.
