Not my Day

RUN ROD RUN · 03-09-2009, 02:13 PM

Took the R out this AM for my cup of coffee. When I was ready to come home, the engine in my R wouldn't fire up for more then 30 seconds.
After a number attempts with no luck, I ended up having AAA tow my R to the dealer.
The dealer can't get to it today so I hope I can sleep tonight without worrying about my R not being in the comfort of my own garage.

Is this as No Spark or No Crank? Not that I have an answer, just curious.

It's not out of gas, correct? It sounds like a bad battery connection, a dirty fuel filter or an ignition switch. Possibly a fuel pump.....

My 05 acted that way when the ignition switch went bad, no problem since replacing the ignition switch.

Good luck 3R. Hope it's no big deal.

BUMMER, Jeff . . . be certain to take Flowers and Chocolates tomorrow!

Maybe even a "chew toy" or two.

It smells like fuel when I had it running for those 30-60 seconds, but then maybe not as the coffee shop is right next to the gas station & 2 smog test centers on either side of the coffee shop so who know where the smell was coming from.

I hope it is a quick fix

Does your

still have the ability to be driven normally...or do the mechanics have to take a lesson or two from you?

it can almost be done normally. Just gotta tell the guys to keep there left foot off the disk and about the push button shifter.

Hi Jeff:

I had a similar problem (not in an SSR) which turned out to be the RFID chip in the key fob; did you see a DRIVER 1 or 2 indication in the DIC? The security system prevents the fuel pump from running, which disables the vehicle but does allow it to crank and catch for a bit.

RRR I hope it is a quick and inexpensive fix. Please keep us posted as to what caused this issue.

HotRodGirl · 03-09-2009, 07:07 PM

I guess how you sleep depends on WHICH dealer you take it to.

Good luck, Jeff. And may you have many happy re-runs.
