That was the thought. Give me an excuse to fire up that laptop.

I still have to get at it, to get the files for a few people with coded shit.

Slick, sorry for the vague answer. Internet paranoia……I am in Massachusetts. About an hour south of Boston. I would be so grateful to find someone with your knowledge and ability to help me diagnose this. I am literally at a standstill at where to go next.

Damn that is far. I was hoping LI, NJ close pa. I'm in NYC. You are like 3-4 hours away. With my schedule and two kids you are quite far. Sorry bud.

You don't need any crazy laptop by the way. Almost anything will run INPA. Installation instructions come with the cable. Nice little dvd with vids on it. Romanian guy on eBay. Buy that shit and get something up and running. My beast laptop bit the bug of death, and I was able to install and run INPA, and NCS Expert on a gateway shitbox notebook with a multimedia processor. No joke this is some cheap 1998 laptop that someone was going to throw out.

If you really must have DIS, SSS, then you will actually need a laptop that supports Microsoft Virtual Machine. My crap gateway processor won't support Virtual Machine. Romanian software dude sends virtual machine software as well by the way. So do a little Google foo, go to Microsoft, and search which processors will be able to run VM. Then buy that laptop. That's really all you need. Oh and a few USB ports are a must.

You need a scan of at least DME and EWS.

Also, there are variants of a non-start issue, for example if you turn the key to pos 2, and you can't hear the fuel pump running, then, probably the key isn't recognize for some reason, and the vehicle won't crank or a relay is bad. Or, if you hear the fuel pump but, when you turn the key, the car just makes a short click coming from the engine bay, but nothing else happens, then you might have a problem with one or more of these parts: battery, some relay, EWS, dead key fob (transponder not working anymore. It happened to me with one of the keys), or even the starter motor not working.

OR, if it cranks but can't start, then it could be a sort of other totally different issues, etc, etc, etc... You get the point.

What I'm trying to say is, with these cars you can't just guess and shoot in the dark to try find a problem, bc it would cost you a lot of time and money and you'll end up frustrated and with less money in your pocket.

I haven't seen any EWS modules failing in these cars just like that. It's not that common unless you have an electrical problem of some sort.

Be smart and scan her ASAP.

BTW, having a scanner with you can save you a fortune. Just learn how to use the tools available in the Internet.

Have tried this many times with no results. Thanks for trying. I am scouring forums as we speak. Considering taking to dealer since I don't know of anyone that can scan it. I have considered doing it myself, but after reading about it, I don't think I am capable of it and will screw something up. Just very frustrated. These cars shouldn't be this complicated.

Nothing to screw up by scanning the car. Not much damage can be done at all if you get DIS up and running. Don't be scared.

+1 on the package on eBay from the Romanian guy. Probably the easiest way to get setup for coding/diagnosis.
