#1 of 2 Trooper won't start - weird by nqlblq Oct 02, 2008 (10:24 am)
So I have an 89 Trooper RS (the 2-door). I was driving it home and all of the sudden all of the dummy lights came on. Gas, Brake, Battery, O2. The car kept running with all of the lights on. When I got home, I turned off the car and tried to turn it back on and it would start up and die immediately. I can get it to stay on if I leave the key in the "start" position in the ignition but once I let it back to "On" it dies. After I replaced the entire fuel system (except the pump which is a year old), the Air Mass Overflow, and the fuel pump relay and the main engine relay - it still wouldn't start. That when I looked at the fuse box. I took out the main engine relay (big blue one on the outside of the fuse box) and it fired up. It started and ran really rough. All of the lights were off and I could drive it around - barely. When you put the MER back in, the lights come back on and when I turn it off, it won't restart. I'm basically out of ideas here. Anyone run into a similar problem? Or have any ideas about what else I should replace Replies to this message: tidester (Oct 02, 2008 10:28 am)
