Turns out there is a drain tube from the sun roof down to the passenger side firewall. When this drain tube gets plugged with crud then the computer under the passenger side floorboard gets wet and dies. I hope my headaches will help someone elses

I had an 02 that just quit 4 times. Read my last post in the thread about blowing computers

After 8 months and 4 ECM's it was finally diagnosed. There is a drain from the sunroof to the passenger side quarter panel. If that drain gets plugged near the bottom then water can get into the ECM and kill it. I wish I'd learned this before I gave up and sold it for scrap. Interior was in...

Blew another computer April 20th. That's the last straw. Only 126,000 miles on it, going to the salvage yard

Don't recall the first computer blowing but I know that on the second and third ones that it was a rainy day. Could this be a factor?

I have a 2002 Protg with a 2.0. Blew a computer September 1st, blew another November 18th and another February 2nd. Second one was under warranty, this one should be to but need to know why I keep blowing computers. Don't drive this car much but need to keep it running. Any ideas or anyone...

Replaced the computer and that fixed the problem but 60 days later the computer went out again. Any idea what would make this thing start blowing computers?

3 weeks now, still won't start. Any ideas?

Does anyone know of any hidden fuses on this car? I know about the fuse box below the steering wheel and the fuse box under the hood drivers side. All these tested good, any others?

Replaced cam sensor and crank sensor. Still no spark and no fuel. Crank sensor was pretty chewed up. Timing gear looks OK although mechanic says it is the thinnest gear he's ever seen.

Thanks, I'll get on this as soon as it's daylight

All fuses checked out as good. Is there a way to test the crank sensor and cam sensor?

had to take it to a shop, no spark, no fuel being pumped either. Mechanic said he has 3 different computers but can't get any of them to get a reading off this car.

The wife assured me there was gas in it so the FIRST thing I did was put 2 gallons in it. Not a stupid question, thanks for asking

No, have never had a check engine light come on on this car. Terminals tight, good ground, new battery. Tried disconnecting battery and waiting 15 minutes and reconnecting. (suggested in another thread)

I've read other threads where it was suggested there could be a link between this problem and the battery. I just put a new battery in it 2 weeks ago. May be coincidence.

cel?

Changed both ignition coils (and wires), still won't start

I have a 2002 Protege with a 2.0 engine. It ran fine when I came home but now won't start. Engine turns over just fine. Fuel pump isn't working so I tried bypassing the fuel pump relay. When FPR was bypassed, fuel pump worked but car still would not fire. Any suggestions?
