94 Caprice LT-1 No Start

[anotheridiot]

unless that alarm is cutting out the pass key deal, the scanner would not be telling you the position of the key if it was an alarm deal.

Nothing to do with any sercuity system. The tip of the MSD Coil we installed on the car rotted off and the wire running down to the Opti-spark was green-molded inside{ No ohms or anything}. New Accel coil is on, now I'm watching on a Module coming from Amazon tomorrow. It will def. start now.

no more msd after this.

I shouldn't have said it would run

Found a hidden relay under the passenger side of the dashboard kick, so not one but 2 40amp relays in line with each other.Changed it, hooked up the interior and then messing with that Innova code reader and setting it to a 92 b-body got the following codes.

Map Sensor High Voltage
VSS Issue{Neutral Safey Switch?}

Cleared the codes and wiggled the column up and down and it started Looks like the last part I buy is the issue.now, to get it inspected and change the switch.

you mean the last part you could possibly buy. damn, probably a frayed wire on the harness. we have an 03 chevy van with the digital odometer and PRND's, when the neutral safety switch went on that it went to the 2. If I didnt notice that little circle around the 2 I would have probably been thru everything you went through.

I have heard the VSS as vehicle speed sensor, I dont think the neutral safety switch would throw a code.

I know, it's messed up I had to set the code scanner to 92' to get it to work, I sent it back to amazon and I'm looking around to find another code scanner that will work with the car.From the reviews i've been reading, i don't know if i"m going to be getting another one. I really think what happened was one relay was no good and was causing an issue. I think this also happened for a reason cause she got pissed at him for not checking stuff for so long

I started with a couple scanners, then went to ebay for the old red brick scanner for the older stuff. ends up being around 250 or so to get one with a TSI that has a range of cars on it. At least you get to actual manufacturers instead of generics. Of course I learned about the TSI after I got one with a boat load of years and separate cartridges, but at least we are covered for OBD 1 and 2. Eventually we went up to the Modis for the newer stuff instead of getting back to multiple cartridges.
