power key wont turn on
My low coolant light has been flickering on and off over the past 2 weeks and the last 2 times ive taken the z out, the power key light wont turn on. When it finally will turn on it stays on for a minute or 2 then turn off on its own. While on I do feel that i am getting the increased horsepower, and while off I do not have the increased power. Car seems to be driving fine from what I can tell (ie no new noises, not miss firing ect)
my coolant is not low, i have checked multiple times and I do not see a coolant leak any ideas are these problems somehow related? any help would be much appreciated. I am stumped! |

Re: power key wont turn on
If the black tank is full, the coolant level sensor has failed. Replace the tank - it's probably not worth trying to fix. Full power is not ralated to the low coolant issue. Pull the codes from the ECM to see what else is wrong.

Re: power key wont turn on
what year? the 1990 key cylinder can tend to have issues with the contact points. I had to disassemble mine and fix it to get the key to work properly again

It has to be Jeff Ive never heard of a Key/Module issue on the 91-95 cars. Jeff is completely correct normally this is a simple contact issue within the key cylinder. GC
