FogkingZ32 Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Just the points: Died on the highway and compression start didn't work. On the shoulder I tried starting. It cranks but doesn't fire. Now for the odd part, when I turn the key to off position and remove key, all lights (headlights, dash, tails, running lights) and radio stay on. It's not the switch on top of the wheel either. USB port also charges cell phone when connected. Again no key and ignition is in off/lock position. Only way to remove power is to disconnect the battery. Next, checked for spark at the plug, none. No pulse at the injectors either. Already changed crank sensor, cam sensor, ignition switch, and tried with good ECU. Engine grounds are good as is battery connection wires. Timing and timing belt are both good as well. It cranks but has no spark or fuel. I'm out of ideas here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 That's pretty weird. We're going to need Model and year, etc.. I can only guess, there are relays involved with some of this on the newer cars. Relays can stick and can fail in either state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Could be a problem with the ignition switch? Thinks it to be OFF when key is ON. Thinks it to be ON when key is OFF. Weird! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogkingZ32 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) I changed the ignition switch out first. No change. The tumbler was not changed Edited December 29, 2016 by FogkingZ32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
