Need Help! Now 3/21/06 Broken Down Help Please

Ok, 5 hours ago with my wife and two kids in the car, The car stopped running at 80MPH. I coasted to the side of the road where I noticed the intercooler sprayer was running non stop. I checked all of the fuses and could not find any blown. I waited 3 Hours for a tow (middle of no where). It was towed to a local dealer in Poughkipsie NY who had no clue thus far. Right now I am in a Hotel writing this because I am 3 hours from my home. This Sucks!!! THe car will crank and not fire. No codes were thrown and the Intercooler sprayer in on all the time when the key is on. If anyone can help me troubleshoot this tonight there is a $10,000 reward. Ok Maybe $3.25 but I would my wife and kids would be very thankful. I can tell already is not going to cover any of this do to my mods.

Have you done any electrical work to the car?
What mods do you have?
Any check engine light?

Not that in your the mood for jokes but, at least it will be year to the day before you have to worry about this problem.

I reset the ECU. Checked all the fuses. No SES. No codes thrown. No pop. Just dead. I am sitting in the hotel right now trying to find a schematic for the IC sprayer ciruit. Somehow it is related. Thanks for the help. Please keep is coming.

damn sorry man...well i say check for spark..fuses again..check the fuel pump fuse..its a yellow 20G fuse...in the engine bay...but the IC spray is confusing to me..only thing i can think is that the relay is mest up telling the sprayer to be on w. the key in..i think all this is due to an electrical problem...seems obvious though..

Did you spill a drink or something on your IC sprayer switch? Maybe you shorted something out. Check fuses under the hood (if you haven't already) and maybe try disconnecting the IC sprayer system to try to isolate the problem.

its got to be either fuel or spark, but what you described sounds like what happened to me when my ECU died on my gsx. give us more information about your mods... I spent some time in Poughkeepsie I can feel your pain
