please help me

 

Try resetting your ecu, pull your battery for like a half hour

 

just pull my battery, wheres my ecu at? im a noob

 

LOL


Anyway what he meant was disconnect the battery for a while. Take off either the negative or possitive side of the battery, or both. Its a 10mm nut on the terminals unless they are not stock. Remember, you will lose all your settings and presets on your radio. This will reset everything. One other thing that i always do is once i disconnect the cables, i open the door and turn on the lights to discharge anything thats in the system, but thats me.

 

oh ok, i disconnected it for about 15-20 minutes, lol checked fuses, ABS light is off now. only thing is that my car isnt turning over right away...starter maybe??thank you all very much

 

spark plugs..... when i changed out mine it started great

 

being that your in wisconsin (cold) you prolly got a dead/dying battery. that can make sensors give false readings.

 

k, i pulled my battery last night, was running great than did a few 360's and 180s than like 45 min, later my ABS light comes on, rpm is goin 0 to 1000 to like 9000 or something, jumpin all around, same with my speedometer. my radio would cut out also so...idk anyone got advice? it would go back on at about 40mph....im goin to get in looked at by our mechanic and see wat he says. thanks much guys...ill also try new spark plugs
oh, by the way if you were wonder if i passed my road test. and yes i did...lol

 

congrats on the pass

 

congrats on your driving test. sorry about your fucked up car

 

congrats on passing! it could be the alternator. had similiar problem with my 240sx b4. the car radio died, the gauges died. i had the battery tested and it was fine. after replacing the alternator it was all good. there's a way to do an alternator test. first start the car and while the engine is running, disconnect the negative of your battery. if the car continues to run it's not ur alternator but if the car shuts off then u need a new alternator.

 

sounds like bad alternator. well the voltage regulator inside the alternator. which is why your guages are goin all crazy.

 

i really dont know, seriously it was poessed(sp?) last night or something. cause now its fine i tightened my battery up but my ABS light comes on and off sometimes still but its really weird. my gauges are fine now. well for now, its prefectly fine now it hasnt acted up yet today and ive been driving since like 4:30 today lol....thanks
