Helpppp! Fmlll
Car wont start after a o2 and exhaust manifold install... It cranks but it has this weird sound like its not getting any spark... I check all the sensors and plugs i unplugged which is o2, MAF, and a plug that goes to the radiator... Right out its open o2 so no dp and the rest of the exhaust....
Is it possible i didnt tighten then exhaust manifold enough?
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated ! Thanks

wait so the dp back isnt connected right now? that doesnt seem like it should cause a problem but you never no... and if its cranking over but not starting then sounds like a ground or wirr not connected... check everyhting again

I had similar situation a couple days ago. I was trying to put back the OEM battery since my mini seem to have low on juice so I unplug a connect next to the MAF and the MAF itself while doing an alarm install. I connect the MAF but forgot about the other connector. Tried to start up the motor but it just crank and won't turn over. I thought I F'd something up. I double check it again and found that connector not connected yet. Fired right up after I connect the other connector.
Check your connectors. Make sure everything is connected. GL

I will check everything again tonight thanks for the input !
A friend of mine told me it could been a battery problem too... n told me to charge the battery and take out the EFI fuse start it for 10 sec then plug it back in and try to start it again

if ur looking at the motor its on the right..... its by the coolant hose....has a little plug
just below the BOV hard line.....if you see it you can tell that it is very flimsy...

its just something to check...might not be it.

yeah. leave the ignition on for a few minutes.....do you get any cranking power when you turn the key of is it flat out dead? and then you need an OBDII scanner to see what the codes are.
