It Won't Start?????

Will some one send me the procedure on how to take off the Intake manifold. I need to check my starter cables. My car haven't been starting and I suspect it to be a bad ground or a bad cable some where. The symptoms are... 1:turn the key to on position, 2:power and lights come on with now problem, 3:DIC displays Data Not Available., 4:I can't hear the starter trying to start or the engine so I'm guessing that no power is getting to the starter.

Oh the key pass system is operational also because I have cleaned the key and waited three minutes and the best part is that the DIC didn't tell me to clean it. In other words, key pass is fine. SO WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE???

AM I THE ONLY AURORA OWNER THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM???

IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN HELP ME???

PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME ADVICE OR HELP,

NEXT TIME ON AURORA FORUMS...

I'm taking a shot in the dark here...

I've kindof been wondering lately where the DIC computer gets and stores its information. ie does it have its own computer or is it an intragral part of the main ECM or is it its own computer which gets and stores its information in the ECM. Anyways the fact that the DIC is saying something about not being able to get data would suggest to me that it is having some sort of communication failure with the ECM which might mean that the ECM is damaged or maybe that it has not power, ie blown fuse.

In the old days the starter was pretty much directly connected to the ignition so even if the computer went or something the car would still turn over, but with our car it may be different especially considering how the securoty system is integrated with the starter.

Just a guess. When you turn the key forward is the service engine soon light on. It should be and this is normal for any car which has he key forward but is not running. If your light is out it might also suggest a problem with the computer.

Good luck
