3k Vr4 Help

[CHRIST75]

Hi
I got a 93 3kvr4 that when i start after few sec it dies with a clicking sound that comes like from the radio or dash area while is dying,check engine light goes on then stops. Sometimes i can let it start and last longer but it does the same thing pretty often, then if you try to start after this it just won't do anything like dead with lights on. Any ideas where the clicking sound comes from and why ?
thanks for all your help.

Chris.

Check the connections on your battery and your cables make sure they are tight, clean, etc. Sounds like something is shorting. I think at least. Any idea on the voltage your battery has? Is it showing 14volts? Also if you get the car to your local autozone, often they will check out your power supply (battery, alternator, starter) for free.

Thanks i'll check that out, anyone else with any ideas ?
And ...Where the computer is located in the car? & where do i plug the code reader for the check engine ligh ? it may tell me something.

i had the same problem, and i was actually stuck at best buy in the parking lot. as igovert said its your battery. i dont know what that clicking is, i had it too, but it sound like it came from the fuse box under the hood. just keep playing with your connection, you should get it

he has a 93... and unless Autozone can pull OBD1 codes than he has to goto a dealer. Or do 93's have a hybrid?

arent 92s and 93s obd II?

91-93 is obd1, 94-95 is "hybrid" basicly not yet obd2 but with an obd2 connector, and 96+ is obd2
