For all you Mitsu techs out there i hope you can help me figure this problem out soon.

Here's the situation. It involves a '94 3000gt. The car cranked up and was running just fine 41 days ago. However, it had been sitting since it was towed off the streets for the owner was DUI. All i know is that today i went to start the car for the first time since being towed, and nothing happened. I had put a fully charged battery in place of the old one that went dead before trying to crank up the car. There were no keys with the car so i had a master key made from the dealer. The car did not have a key fob either(don't know if they came with them???) It did however have a siren horn for some kind of alarm...don't know if it was stock or aftermarket. So i don't know if an alarm that was activated and when the battery went dead would cause a problem, of if the alarm system can be reset(hopefully easily).

Anyways, when i went to turn the ignition on absolutely nothing happened. The starter didn't even turn over. All acc. are in perfect operating condition. I can't figure out if this may be something electrical or a switch of some sort. Did the 94's come with immobilizer systems on them from the factory? Other than an immobilizer system interupting the circuit i can't think of what might prevent the car from starting(other than a dead starter).


Any constructive help would be appreciated as i don't want to have this thing towed. BTW....does there happen to be a Mitsu tech at one of the local dealers on the board that could help out?

 

sounds like a starter disable from whatever alarm was put on the car. It was reset when the battery was dead and a new one was put in. Your going to need to look under the dash where the alarm was installed and uninstall the system and reconnect the wire that goes from the ignition switch to the starter solonoid.

do that and the car should start up. Or if you know the manufacture of the alarm... look them up, call them and see how you can mess with the little button or switch to reset or disable the alarm.

 

Thanks, i'll see what i can do.

 

You guys kick ass.

Sure enough thanks to one of your suggestions i got the car running. Now i'm looking for an engine for the car. Nothing wrong with the one in the car. I just like having a spare of just about everything when it comes to play/project cars.


Any local place or person that has an engine that is in good running condition, or at least was when it was last cranked over? Looking for something that is not expensive, never been torn apart to replace anything, high milage ok(as long as there is nothing wrong with the engine). Any help you people can offer up would be greatly appreciated.



Oh, and thanks again for helping me get my new project running.
