my car won't start because the dtec stopped working. i need someone to rewire it for me so that i can try to drive my car. the meth pump also stopped working a month ago which i believe is the wiring too if someone can rewire that too i'd be happy

i bet the DTEC is dead. It was in kinda rough shape when it went in.

Take the brown wire and green wire from the dtec and attach them together. The car isn't getting MAP signal and keeping it from starting. Are you going Saturday? If you can get your car started by then bring it and I will fix it for you.

why does his battery keep dying though?

that part doesn't make sense.

Do you have a multimeter Nate? Set the meter to Amps, take the positive terminal off the battery, and put the meters leads in series with the cable and the positive post. If there is any draw (anything over say like 2 amps) then pull fuses until it drops off and you have found the circuit in question.

I forgot how exactly I powered the pump and dtec (I think the dk blue IGN wire at the ignition harness) so either of those wouldn't make any sense unless the ign switch was shorting and sending 12v down the switched 12v wire all the time, however you would be able to tell because the fuel dash lights (abs, cel, ect.) would be on with the keys out of the cylinder.

I am off monday and tuesday so I could swing through salisbury and check it out if you need me to.
