edge programmer issue, or something else?
Been having some issues with my truck lately. Havent been driving it much, but whenever i do its been having trouble starting up. Cranks over fine, just wont fire...
A while ago after sitting for a while, trying to start it, it would crank over fine, but not start. I figured maybe it needed a jump, and it worked and started right up.
About a week before christmas i had the same problem. I figured another jump. This time it didnt help. I unplugged my Edge CS and it started right up. During my christmas break i drove it on a small road trip with no issues. I happened to check my trouble codes stored on the Edge and it threw a code for theft, or something along those lines. I really didnt think anything of it.
Last thursday i tried everything to get it started and it just wont. Cranks over fine. No trouble codes. Tried starting it with the edge plugged in and not. Also has a fairly new Optima red top in it. I disconnected the battery to try and reset the ecu. Nothing. I put the programming back to stock parameters. Nothing. Now the screen wont even come on the programmer and all it does is beep. Truck still wont start.
I havent investigated fuel or spark issues yet, as i believe the Edge is causing the malfunction.
So i tried messing with the truck tonight. I left the programmer plugged in since i messed with it thursday. (Apparently it has been beeping ever since and i think it may have drained my battery) anyway, i tried cranking it over and after a few cranks the battery died. So i hooked some jumper cables on it and turned it onto accessories. The theft light was flashing and then it started to go in some sort of sequence (dont ask, i dont remember). So i unplugged the programmer and hooked up my code scanner. No codes. I turned it off, and turned the key back to accessories. Theft light came on for 3 seconds and went away. I tried cranking it over again, still no luck. Im going to call Edge tomorrow and see if i can download new/updated/whatever software, and go from there.
