Help...Dropped Hood and Engine Died Today - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

32valvZ · 05-25-2020

Had the engine idling today just looking it over with my Dad and when I dropped the hood the engine died as if the key were shut off... It wont restart at this point. This happened about a month ago, but it restarted immediately... I didnt think too much of it after that..

Tried Dynomites code reader and its not flashing the code 12 or any others...

Im thinking the ecm had a bad solder joint and maybe broke free, but not sure. Where would a good point begin for troubleshooting?

In my effort to try to get it restarted, I pulled the battery cables to try a reset... so Im not sure if codes will show up. The cooling fan immediately turns on with the key like when you have the scan tool connected...

Turns over strong, battery is in top condition... just wont fire.
