Okay, so i washed my car today and the battery died because i had the doors open and it started but it took it a while. when it did i drove it to charge the battery and noticed the TCS light was on and woulnt turn off and when i touched the brake at all the tach would drop to zero and now it doesnt work at all except it will come on for like 2 seconds just jumping up and down. the car didnt throw any codes or anything so i dont know whats up with it.

PLEASE HELP!! :(
 


:(just an update... still doesnt work im thinking about just tearing things apart till i find it.
 
your battery shouldnt die from having your car door open. did it take 8 hours to wash your car or something? besides the interior lights shut off automatically after 15mins i think. you most likely have a bad battery, bad alternator, or bad wiring (check grounds).

i had the stereo on for a few hours.
i have looked around and the only things i can find would be a bad crank position sensor. (but the car does not stall)
or wires are touching the A/C accumulator mounting ring. (but i dont know what that is.) so any help on either would be awesome.
 
i did wash the engine but i used barely any water. its been hesitating to start so i think its the CPS
 


bingo?? what did i break then do you know now?
that would be amazing i'm so sick of that car lol :th_yawning:

:th_thumbsup-wink: water and electronics do not mix. if you wash your motor you need to cover all the major electronics. i lost an optispark in my 94 z28 by doing that, $500 mistake (back then).
