Wow, so many problems, but I suspect they are all related.
The saga began with a dead battery, so I put in an Optima red top and put it on the tender. Fresh battery seemed to run & start, still throwing codes on the DIC, I assumed from low voltage.
So last Friday I'm going to drive car, so Thursday night I unplug it from the tender. Friday morning it's dead. Zip. Nothing, won't even let me in the car.
So now I put it on the real battery charger for a day. Looks better, lets me in. Starts up, the gauges do their sweep, settle in, then oil pressure drops and the car stalls. I barely saw it, so I'm not sure which happened first, did it stall and lose oil pressure, or the other way around?
Now I'm out there. back to breaking in through the trunk, 12.75 volts in the battery, on the charger and still nothing. I disconnect teh battery and touch the battery cables to reset the computer. I hook up the battery, the alarm goes off and now my fobs won't stop the alarm.
I put the fob in the glove box and still no green light. I get out, close the door to walk away and the green light comes on, but I'm back to where the fob won't let me in.
Probably a long rambling post, but I'm open to suggestions. We're going to try and scan it with a Tek II a little later.
