check clutch switch.

kenchan · 05-20-2014, 04:13 PM

or brake switch if yours is a AT.

you can thank wheeee!

kingcobra · 05-20-2014, 04:16 PM

Yes it is AT, thanks I hadn't read about that being a possible issue....

Any other parts that may be causing this? I want to let the dealer exactly what to check since this never happens when its at the dealer and its practically impossible to reproduce on the fly

if your ipdm is shot that could have a similar symptom as the steering lock failure, but ive not read too many of those (maybe one or 2 cases) over 5yrs. and those *may* have been an improperly diagnosted steering lock failure case too... so.

kingcobra · 05-20-2014, 04:36 PM

Thanks, so those are the 2 most likely scenarios?

kenchan · 05-20-2014, 04:38 PM

unless a mouse ate your harness or something...

kingcobra · 05-20-2014, 06:05 PM

how much is that ipdm to replace? is it supposed to be covered under the 100k warranty?

kingcobra · 05-22-2014, 04:31 PM

Any other ideas anyone?

kingcobra · 05-22-2014, 04:31 PM

Could it be fuel injectors/battery/fuel pump?

kenchan · 05-22-2014, 04:37 PM

someone stuck potatoes in your exhaust? ..

wat did your dealer say? have it towed, get it fixed.

JARblue · 05-22-2014, 05:06 PM

Are we sure it's not the steering lock? I know the Rev D (used for the recall) has been known to fail.

Did it start the second time? The video was too low for my laptop speakers to pick anything up. If so, this is kind of the problem I've been having but I have yet to figure out what it is. The only thing I've done is have JARblue pull my steering lock fuse and that was at least a year ago.

How did that work out? Did it solve the problem? Or are you still having the same problem as in the video?

It did start the second time, and I can also give it gas if I feel like it will stall and it will start up
