Ok, Well, I was hookin up 2 amps in my car yesterday, and got one to work , and hooked up the second, and the car shut off, and wouldnt start again, stereo wont turn on, turned the key to acc, and the heat gauge shoots up to the top for some reason, the brake light and belts lights are very dim on the dash, it will turn over but wont start, there is a tickin comin from the fuel pump relay fuse?? and i cant hear the fuel pump kick it when i turn the key, i checked all the fuses and they are good, any help would be appreciated, thanks

if its a loud tick from the relay then you need to replace it. start by popping the hood and checking fuses and relays in the underhood fuse box. then go to the inside. Also consider checking the ecu for codes

check all fuses first....

Fuses are checked, all good, that big black one, fuel Injection/er is tickin while key is turned to the on position, cant find one anywheres near where i live which could be a problem, gonna check a few junk yards

Pull that amp back out for now.

Do you have a spare ECU?
Can you pull any codes?

Can you see if the starter even gets any power? Have a budy try and start it, use a voltmeter to test for power @ the starter.

changed the relay fuse from a protege one, started after that, but then i tryed my headlights and it shut off,,, damn, then i took the key out of the ignition, hit the break pedal without the clutch and the heat gauge went up, check engine, oil, and charge lights came on, really weird for not having the key in, may be the altonater? What can i get for a larger altonater?? like a larger producer of power??
No i dont have an extra ecu, how do i check for codes?? Ill try to get a voltmeter tomorrow, everywheres is closed now.
