Also, could it have an aftermarket alarm? That would def show its face if the battery was replaced.

this... look for an alarm kill switch

BUT it does have a kill switch with you have to press in order to start the car (its a hidden button so the car cant get stolen)

BlkWhtTSI · 06-29-2010, 10:39 PM

i think your kill switch is effed up. disconnect it and see what happens. if its still acting up, checks all your grounds and wires. what type of shape is the starter in?

NeweraCapMAN · 06-30-2010, 02:04 PM

ok so got around the kill switch soem how and got it started but it seems to be idling weird now... i am trying to figure this out now hahaha

jpalamar · 06-30-2010, 02:16 PM

It will run a little weird until your ECU learns the fuel trims again since you just had the battery off. Shouldn't take too long to up to par though.

NeweraCapMAN · 06-30-2010, 06:11 PM

ok so i let the car idle and i go up and down my driveway a couple times and i look under the car and see the cat is glowing RED??? exhaust comes out of the tail pipes so it cant be completely clogged but i just know that it cant be good to be glowing RED HOT like that....

DannyGSX · 06-30-2010, 07:15 PM

wtf lol take a picture of that one.

I like your logic.

Rooster · 06-30-2010, 08:21 PM

This.

NeweraCapMAN · 07-01-2010, 02:17 PM

I smell gas when the car is started and the car still shakes

got_tint? · 07-01-2010, 03:14 PM

Sounds like you need to take this to a mechanic who can diagnose the issue..

tranceporter · 07-01-2010, 03:54 PM

my jeep does that when you disconnect the battery. it sounds like an alarm. reconnect the battery, put your key into the driver side door, lock it and unlock it. should stop the blinking and you'll be able to crank the car
