<![CDATA[WTF my car dont start now!!]]>ok i was putting in a new radiator fan sensor in my ek and redoing my ground wires, before i tried to start it today i kept on hearing a fast ticking sound coming from under the pass. side dash and seen that the main(fuel Pump) relay was doing it and i tried to start it and the engine tried to turn over but it didnt. so then i put the ground wires back where they were b4 and tried it again... nothing so i took my tester and probed it into a wire on the relay.. the pump turned on and stayed on but car didnt start when i tunred it over and the relay started clicking again. i ran out of ideas of what it could be does any one have any idea!!! thanks:icon_scratch:

  1. Does the object have power or is it plugged in.

My 'Stang was being a bitch this spring and it turns out that the battery terminals and the grounds weren't making a good connection which caused it to do all kinds of goofy shit.

It's a ground issue. Double and triple check all of them again.

Ya, that is my thoughts also. When I got my car done originally, the car didnt start, I cleaned up all my ground and it started just fine.
