I guess I should start at the beginning; I was driving the car when the engine shut down. When this happened, I checked the dash and the alarm light was on (solid not flashing). Several attempts to start the car failed and I had it towed. I have attempted to check the engine controller and I cannot get it to got in diagnosis mode. I am using the prescribed method in the factory service manual. I cannot get it to work at all (will not even flash 55). As a last effort, I have disconnected the car battery and allowed the vehicle to sit for a day with no results. I have also removed the instrument cluster to check the bulb that light the "check engine" light. The service manual describes a "no start" condition if the alarm module is removed and the car is not running. I believe that this is the case.
Is there any other method short of having the car towed to the dealer to diagnosis/reset the engine controller?
Has any one else experience this problem.
I already have a obdII tool for my jeep, will an obdI reset the computer and solve the "no start condition"?
Any and all help is GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Thanks
