Vr executive 3.8 manual
Ok so a few months ago my 3.8 decided it would start for about 3 seconds then die. Iv tried duin a diagnostic test but wouldn't even recognse my car even tried paperclip bridge to the connecter but check engine light stayed on. A note is that iv put a turbo on it but it has had no problems except burning leads because they are to close to the manifold would this of cause a short out somewhere?

has it been tuned?

if so, disconnect the battery, then reconnect it again.

turn key to on for 1 minute, then off for a minute. do this another 2 times.

i have to do this with mine whenever the battery has been disconnected.

Fixed it. Sort of it's been semi tuned using a rewritable flash chip I removed the chip and was able to rev it up. Iv got a relay to kill power when I'm not using it might of deleted the tune or something. Cheers for insight mate

I can't pics too large 5mb limit which is pretty bullshit

So, shrink your photo like most of us do. 9 times out of 10 I have to shrink the photo to large before it will upload. TBH 5mb is pretty generous on a forum. ;);)
