Ignition with door open?????????`, HELP ME!!!! Options

[marzouk]

has anyone had the problem of their car not starting when the doors are open? i though my car wouldn't start and ended up reseting the ecu and pulling out the alarm/immobilizer checking the battery, pull apart the distributor cap, checked the spark plugs. it turned out that it was because my door was open. the car starts first time when the doors are closed. is this normal????

turns over like the battery is dying, starter motor spins, engine shakes but just doesn't fire. i mite start tracing from the curtisy lite trigger on the body and see where that leads me

if it acts like that; i'd also check the power to the fuel pump; and see if something isnt branched off of it as well. BC when you put the car into acc, it activates the fuel pump into ready mode, but if there is a relay cutting off the signal to actualy "pump" then it'd get a "sputtering-half-ass-not-quite-starting" feel to it; because it'd run that sip of gas that the pump grabed to get into ready mode.

Just an idea based on what your saying. like i said, i'd have to be there to say for sure; but i dont want you to limit your possibilities. there are MANY ways to make your car NOT start. LOL!!

Unfortunetly it's true...

Good Luck!
