Just Installed Stereo

[weeman1]

hey all,

in a little bit of a pickle at the moment,

on tuesday i installed my new stereo in my 33, all was going well, got everything working fine, turned the alarm back on and pressed the unlock button on my key and it beeped at me 8 times in a row, which is weird cause its never done that after ive disconnected and reconnected the battery, thought nothing of it, went to start the car, now this is where im lost, the motor turns over perfectly, fuel pump is pumping fuel but the thing just wont fire. i dont know if ive tripped the alarm or something, i just dont understand why it wont start as the only thing i changed was the stereo.

if anyone has a similar experience or can shed some light on my situation please do, i think ive maybe tripped the immobiliser somehow which is stopping the thing from starting, last night i disconnected the battery, turned the ignition to start and pumped the throttle a few times hoping that it will reset the comp. ill try starting it again tonight but if that doesn't work ill be calling an auto eleky, but hopefully someone here can help me out

cheers

mitch

PS: mods if you think this should be somewhere else please move it but i thought it relates to stereo and alarms

you're supposed to pump the brakes...

take it to a professional...

Was heading out the door to lunch, sorry for the short reply

What kind of alarm is it? Sounds like you have tripped an immobiliser and aren't getting any spark...

[weeman1]

lol, whoops, i knew it was one of the two

cant remember the alarm type, think its fast track or something like that, ill have a look when i get home tonight, i figured it wasn't getting any spark as everything else is working properly, is there an easy way to fix it? or do i need to take it to a pro?

[DRD-00F]

not too certain about fast track... try the ecu reset again, but it may not work... a pro will help you out in here in a bit

AH ok show me the remote. I can proably lay hands on a diagram for it.

when you turn the car over what is missing - IE lights?

hey all,

got it sorted, ended up being a couple of blown fuses, dont know why i didn't check them in the first place. so its all fixed to take up tot he exhaust shop yay

now ive got another problem, Dead Battery lol, doesn't seem to want to hold charge now so looks like ill be forking out for a new one.

more good news, this stereo sounds awsome, so loud and clear.

thanx for your help
