WOW! Thanks for the info and all the support..once again!
I'm a stranger; new to this forum and the support you've given me is truly...I'm crying (not really but truly overwhelmed!) <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
Answers and questions;
To generation one - The car is a '92 2nd gen model, but built in 91 Dec. I don't know if it is the 24 valve but pretty sure it isn't. No books at this time, Haynes Pajero Manual on it's way, but mail here in Banff Canada is SLO~W!
It sometimes takes a MONTH for things from the USA to arrive! Yes, Canada Post employees are all drug addicts!
So the manual I am using right now is everyone in this forum plus any info I find on the web.
A question from me - if the ECU is dead, would it not show a code when trying to start up (but no fire), even after the battery was previously disconnected?
Bad gas - I wish it were, but I have no spark or power to injectors...
Is it possible the ECU is sending a normal signal, but is due to the ECU being dead or not running right?
Bad connection - I will look into that as soon as I can. I read a post about a guy tapping on a relay in the pas. footwell and the motor fired up. Is there a relay/fuse separate from the ECU to protect it? Maybe that's the problem?
Ed - If alternator was malfunctioning, wouldn't the car at least fire up via battery power? The starter turns the motor strong, it's just that I have no fire up...
Frank - Yes it took 3 days to charge the battery. It was pulled out of the car charged. The charger is in near new condition. I would think the battery is bad, but as of now, (one month later and after dozens of trying to fire up) it is still holding charge.
I don't think the battery contacts or ground is the issue as the starter is turning strong. But you are right about the ground wire for the ECU. Maybe this is corroded?
I'm on baby duty this weekend while my wife works, but may have a few hours to check the car out.
I will get back to you guys with results!
Truly thankful!!
