I don't know mechanical lingo (ircm), but if you are needing your computer codes read (CEL), Autozone does it for free.
Disregard this if I am way off base wink

What are your no start symptoms? Do you have spark? Fuel? Does the engine crank and not turn over? Bring it to autozone and have them run the codes. Mechanics will charge you $ for a diagnostic test that will be no different than what autozone will do.

This is what I think...click below and read carefully. wink

By ircm you are talking about the thing that opens your secondaries?

He said that the computer is storing no codes. Have you had your starting/charging system looked at? It could be something as simple as that. Or perhaps an ignition mod (if the SHO has one lol...)

Shoot us some more info on it...

by the ircm i mean, intregrated relay control module. the car will want to start but i don't hear the fuel pump turn on. cause the first turn of the key u can hear it turn on. well i'm not getting that, i have checked the inertia switch and have replaced the fuel pump and the "ircm" which has the fuel pump relay in side. and yes i believe the ircm is the thing that tells the secondarys to open. and for me to have it taken to autozone it would have to be towed. that like 45 bucks right there, and then have it taken someplace else would be even more. so is it even worth it u think? tell me what u think thanks

 

[masho95]

Did you replace the fuel pump yourself? Did you double check the connections to the pump itself when you put it in? Sounds like either the connections aren't on correctly or there isn't power getting to the pump.

That would be the IMRC.

I have had similar problems before. Did you do any work on the top end of the engine trying to find the problem? Make sure all of the bolts are in the intake. The ones that go to the brackets provide a ground for the DIS module. No bolts, no ground, no start. Also, I found out that when my computer was going out I could not read any codes, but the car would still run. It would run rough below 3000 rpm, but after that it would clear up. I would check those two things.

okay thanks for the tips. i'll do those few things then before having it towed
