No start after new PCM!!! why?
No start after new PCM!!! why?
I had my PCM tuned and recieved it last night. I put it in here at work and the car started up, so i took it around the block to tested it out. I got it to 6000 RPM's now rather then 5000 RPM's as before. It seemed to drive a little better. When i got back to work i let it sit for a while and was washing it. When i went to go and start it, it would just crank but no start!! I smell fuel but not sure if getting spark. I put jumper cables to it and the 3rd time it started. So i switched PCM's back to stock and it still did the same thing. Would would be causing this? Maybe no spark? It drove fine when i put the new PCM in and took it around the block. Just now it doesnt want to start. Please help me out guys.....
checked all the fuses. All are good. Checked the connections, everything tight and nothing bent or broken. It doesnt start with BOTH the new PCM and the old one. Someone said maybe the crank sensor? Im gonna try to get a scanner and see if any trouble codes come up.
What else should i try?

ok so it wouldnt be the crank position sensor then if that would not cause a "no start".
The security light stays on for a couple seconds when i turn the ignition to on but then goes off and doesn't come on when i crank it over. I'm not sure what else to do

FINALLY!! got it started. Had it towed to work and found a bad ignition module. It was getting no spark and the tech was testing the coil and stuff and found the module was bad. 5 minutes after replacing it, it started up. Part was free and gave the tech a free lunch. Thanks for all your guys help
