Car can't start at all its been 4days

[dizzle1]

The car won't crank fuel pump works I hear the whine and this is what I see now. Out of no where Service Engine Soon, Brake, Anti-Lock, Service Vehicle Soon on my instrument panel and my Security light dissapeared it lights when I turn the key. I changed my ignition switch but nothing changed and I scanned it with my OB2 scanner and it said O2S bank1 sensor2 it has 93k and I changed both my O2 sensor's at 80k exact fit with clips new. And I've even wired a red wire to my starter and looped it to my battery's postive terminal and had my friend crank it. So he hit the gas then let go and held it in the crank position and I contacted the red starter wire and it started, but it shut of after 1-3seconds like a prick. Its just sitting and im out of ideas .

Try the usual suspects. You had the codes read but sounds like bad MAF, Crankshaft sensor or maybe even fuel injectors?

Is it turning over where the starter is engaging or no sound at all? Did you check fuel pressure with a gauge?

Can you get your hands on a spare computer/ECM and swap it and see if it starts?

Have you tired disabling the passlock system? Plenty threads in AF about this issue alone.

Keep us posted.

Car is running great, I think the problem was my battery I nearly drained it. I checked the voltage on it with a voltmeter and saw 10volts or less I charged my battery with a battery charger and brought it back to 12.8volts which is the max. Its a optima redtop 800 34-78, I had it for a year now and I checked it today after 2days of driving to make sure and its reading 12.5volts.

My security light is gone since I changed my ignition switch. And all those lights on my cluster went away, anyways I got 2 ignition switches from the slavage yard you could say I got them for free but I brought other things also. I hope it starts every time now and right away, I was worried that it could of been a bigger problem.

They were 3 screws 1 under the drivers kickpanel barely, 1 under the cluster panel and 1 under the radio bezel supporting the radio they all match and surround the key. I removed my radio and did it in the area were it was. You turn the key to move the shifther cable, I used like 7 nails to evenly unclip the Ignition switch. Everything was inside like the 5 pins with springs I made sure I wouldn't lose them so I removed it slowly. Then reverse process and whatever else got in the way.

It runs perfect now this all happened because of a drained battery but it should be ok and I hope it holds the charge.

My car didn't start all the time, so thats why I changed the ignition switch
