Somebody help me out here. The SES light started flashing a couple weeks ago. The car was running rough and idled like it had a lope from a cam. It also idled higher than normally temporarily after revving the enginge, maybe 1100-1200 rpms before dropping down to normal. I decided to park it and decide on autotap or something else to make sure I fixed what was wrong the first time rather than guessing. Now i went out today to start it, and whenever I turn the key, all it does it click. All the electrical works, it just won't start. Any ideas? I would really rather spend the money on long tubes but if if I can't difure this out, it looks like I'll have to buy diagnostic stuff.

 

any codes? does it turn over at all? you said it just clicks.

 

It doesn't turn over at all. I don't know what code it was throwing.

 

As long as you didn't reset it, you should still be able to pull codes with just the ignition switch on... I guess if you can't get to Autozone for a free scan, you could always buy the cheapo $30 code reader.

 

You've got a bad misfire. Probable a bad plug or two and or wire. If it has been sitting for a little while maybe your battery is to low to turn over the engine.

 

agreed strokedls1!!! I guess a plug/wire problem. Start my making sure all the wires are completely on the coils and plugs all the way. obviously charge the battery and see what happens. a year ago my car was running like **** until I did the pcv mod with an air dryer.
