What sort of codes is it throwing now?


I wonder if you had a critter get into your engine bay and nibble on your wiring harness.


Post your codes.


Motor On!

Did you ever figure this out. My 03 s with mods won’t start either. Cranks just fine but won’t fire. Only code I have is for the cam sensor. I really need my car back in the road.
