Hi,

The P0300 is a random misfire code. The P16A1 is related to a high voltage issue to the throttle position sensor. Even with that, I would think it would run. Have you checked to make sure it is getting spark and fuel to the engine itself? Will it start with starting fluid?

Check for a short to power around the wiring to the throttle body. Also, just look over any connectors and wiring you moved around when you did the work. Make sure nothing got pinched or damaged.

Let me know.

Joe

It doesn't even turn over, turn the key start like dead battery but battery test 13.4 volts. Thinking it's in anti theft mode and I've down the rest procedure still nothing it drive here now customer is pist and idkw or what caused this issue. Only codes it show the, are permanent codes. Nothing seems to make wok disconnect battery hold terminal together tried 100 times. No data on live scan but wouldn't be because wiped pcm by disconnecting battery. I don't know what to do I took everything back apart and reinstalled checked connector looks good. And no crank period.

So, I've done anti-theft reset battery has 13 4 Volts, it is getting fuel the head is completely full of fuel. Still nothing when tried crank acts like a drained battery. Also, when key on I don't hear injectors click or anything telling system to fire.

Hi,

I didn't realize it was a no-crank/no-start. I thought it was just a no-start. Have you checked the starter relay or tried starting it in neutral?

I attached the wiring schematic for the starter circuit below. Make sure the start relay is getting power to both pins 30 and 85. Pin 30 should have power at all times. Pin 85 should only have power with the key in the start position.

Let me know.
