Love my StealthTT but need help! Thanks in advance... - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Hi all. Here's the deal 91 Stealth TT. Replaced CAS, Computer, PTU and still no spark. Car turns over but No spark. Car has been sitting almost a year, but becuz I travel I have little or no time to work on my baby. I contacted Hans twice at Ground Zero Performance; said he would help out and twice made arrangements to pick up car, but never showed. Sucks. I want to drive her and finish up the interior and exterior work, but tough to do when she won't move. If anyone has any advice or would be willing to possibly stop by and help one day I would be much obliged. Car is near Allentown, PA.
Thanks Much.

Oh man I posted in your other thread that I'd like to help, but I'm a good 3 hours out.

Have you pulled and checked the ECU for capacitor leakage?

stealthyinpa · 05-24-2008, 09:54 AM

Yep, had new ones put in. Still debating whether I should just get another new one and stick it in and see what happens....thanks for trying.

I went through the same thing some months back, ran out of ideas. One day I pulled the cover to the top of the fuel pump and a few of the wires had rotted through. Easy to check, couldn't hurt.

I had this exact problem, turned out one of my shitty accel coils was grounding to the polished radiator pipe the car had. Also make sure your ignition hasn't gone bad. Search local junkyards for 3/s' and Diamante's its the same engine, I got all new stock coils and wires for 35 bucks total. Good luck its a bitch I've been there.

I got the car running. It may have a short somewhere or something with the rebuilt ecu. If the car is cold; it will start right up and run better than ever. But after it gets warm, the car will pop the 15 amp battery fuse under the dash. After it is warm, it will just pop the fuse right away.

I have seen a couple of places that if the ecs computer is bad, it will affect the ecu; mine was bad so that MAY have had effected the rebuilt ecu. I talked to the guy rebuilding the ecs and said that he had never heard of the ecs affecting the ecu.

So I am buying another ecu for rebuild from a member, I am going to send both out for checking/repair and see what comes of that.
