Aloha All,
New to CX here!!
My wifes 2002 SE S/C with only 30k miles died in the yard about 2 years ago after some rough running and has sat there since. Limited resources here on island make any type of repairs here difficult. Well 2 weeks ago I decided to give it a go. Only able to really work on it on weekends due to work. Well my first thought was to change plugs,wires,cap rotor, fuel/air filters and get it running so I could start determining problems. Tried starting, but no luck. Could smell gas, checked oil, ended up with about 2 qts of gas in the crankcase. Found there was a bad fuel pressure regulator allowing gas to be sucked into the intake plenum. Pulled Supercharger, plenum, fuel rail and changed all injectors as well as the fuel pressure regulator. All back together still no start, found a no spark condition, found the distributor was bad, changed distributor, got the X started! After a quick test drive up the street there was no power on acceleration, like with a vacuum leak or timing was retarded, pulled a 0328 code, have everything on order for the knock sensor replacement. While waiting for the parts to arrive (probably a week out) I was checking other potential issues and now have come up with an electrical problem that I would like some suggestions on. I noticed while putting the battery cable on there seemed to be an excessive spark, I did a a quick series check from negative cable to negative post and came up with 12.7v, I then removed fuses 1 by 1 to determine location of short. But no luck. I then removed all fuses from both the interior and the under the hood fuse blocks still 12.7v. While fuse were out under the hood I checked the fuse terminals and read 12.7 on both fuse terminals of the 80A Ign Sw B+, 20A Audio Amp, 7.5A Air Con, 15A Audio, 40A ABS MTR, 40A ABS Sol. , I've also disconnect Alternator and Starter without and change. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Mahalo!!
