Bad Problems

[REX331]

Tonight my car wouldnt start. We would get power, then when we turned the key on it would kill power to the whole car. We traced it to a bad ground. The small one coming off of the - cable and going to the radiator support. After fixing that the car fired up but runs really bad. I have a check engine light and the cooling fan comes on as soon as the key comes on. This is on my 95 Mustang GT with an AODE. Any idea's? Anyone seen anything like this before. The Computer got pretty hot to the touch.

Thanks

Can't say for sure, but the fan coming on w/ the key is one thing the TwEECer does when there's no tune in it... almost sounds like the 'puter mighta fried. Try reading the codes, if you can.

Thanks Chad thats what I am thinking. I pulled the plug on the MAF and it didnt make a difference. Gonna try pulling codes on Monday. Good thing a Computer is only ~$110. Hopefully thats all it is.

like chad said.... my tweecer did that with either no tune loaded or it was pushed in to far. i put some foam on mine to keep it from going in to far, you might pull that chip ans see if that fixes your problem

It wont run with the chip in and runs with it out but runs like shit. Wont idle or anything.

Sounds similar to what happened to my car several months back. Turned out I had a bad A9L.

'Glad to hear you found the demon, Rex.

Gluck.

[Chad82GT]

Awesome, glad it was an "easy" fix.

[REX331]

Oh and it fried my Chip. He is gonna send it back and get it warrantied.

That sucks that the comp is toast. Wonder why it happened though.....

[Chad82GT]

becasue the ground was bad and it overheated.
