    Default vt wont start & blowing cold air

    hey guy, went o start up my vt today, and nothing, car starts up, the dies instantly, tried letting it cool off etc etc. accessories are coming on, but no actual driving. also wafter the car dies if i leave the keys in 'turned' the car starts making a blowing noise, i think it coming from the radator, so i checked and the radiator or something very close to it seems to be blowing out cold air?


    any ideas?? im stumped!

    sounds like the PCM has gone into limp home mode (indicated by thermo fan being on)
