Message	I was doing a coolant backflush to get all the rust water out of my engine block. In the process, something went wrong and the engine won't start at all. The only thing that visually got wet in my eyes was the PTU unit mounted on the timing cover. Would this cause it to not be able to start? I'm planning on pulling the plenum, checking spark plugs, and clearing the engine cylinders of fuel by cranking it a few times. Then I'm gonna put it all back together and see what happens. But anyone have any ideas? It seems highly unlikely than water would have gotten into the cylinders. It's cranking but not turning over.

It's something simple - - jzack 21:43:42 03/01/14 No need to pull the plenum (n/m) - John (MD) 21:48:37 03/02/14 check the PTU sub harnes conncetion. Mine is nice and crispy - YlwPrlZTT 14:12:44 03/03/14 A lot of people just cut that subharness out - ThisIsSparTTa 13:34:34 03/04/14 Interesting, I'm defenitely going to look into that. (n/m) - YlwPrlZTT 14:23:31 03/04/14 if you can solder... - -Grimm- 10:06:50 03/05/14 If you ever upgrade to the WS engine harness, the wire - Haasz32 15:07:26 03/04/14
