Hi guys, I have 03 types, 125K miles on it, one day I drove to work and after work I try to restart the car only cranks but no firing. I checked all the fuses and check gas cap, still no luck. Also, when I did obdII no code, no check engine light. gas tank is full. I'm not sure what to look for next!!! could it be ignition switch? I read in here that only 99tl having problem with ignition switch. Pleae help!!!

 

Also, when I put my ignition turn to II, engine light blinks 5 times.

 

Check your Key Inmobilizer!!!! When you put the Key on Ignition II the Green Key on Dash should go away After some Time! if it Stays ON the Car isnt detecting your key thus Inmobilizing it.

 

Still, won't fire up some reason!!!

 

Like Skirmich was getting to. When you are cranking the car, do you see the Green key blinking or anything?

 

A couple of fuses to check are the #13(7.5A) within the passenger side dash fuse panel, the #1(15A) in the driver's side panel,
and the #46(15A) up under the hood in the fuse/relay box. Could be a faulty wiring connection or ground ?

 

Problem fixed by it self!!! The car was in the my work garage for 2 days and it turns but not firing up so I was going to tow it my house and see if I can fix it. I joined AAA and cost me total of $67 year, 1st 3 miles are free and after 3 miles it's $3/miles, my house to where I work is about 21 miles and AAA quote me $54 tow it to my house. When I call AAA came to tow my car and AAA driver told me to start the car and I told him it turns but it doesn't fire up. He still want to see what is going on with car so I turn the car and "Bang" the car starts right up. It was so embarrassing. I still can't figure it out about the issue!! Anyway, I want to say thank you for those who reply to my thread, I wish I can help in future.

 

It is the Inmobilizer (BEEN THERE, DONE THAT) What exactly you described happened to me (Car would not Fire Up, Leave it alone sometime; Problem Solved by Itself).. I can bet on it.

 

Yeah, as Skirmich said !

Chances are that it'll happen again, ya never really know when or where !

 

I would get a New Key just to be Safe.

 

I have extra set of key, would that help, or I have to change whole ignition?

 

The Problem is Only at the Key! Try not to leave it somewhere near Radio Signals or Microwave! It will crap out the Signal coming out of the Key thus Inmobilizing your Car.
