92 Pathfinder engine turning over but not starting

Postby Sethspeed » Mon Apr 09, 2018 5:07 pm

Hey so I was replacing my front fenders and when I tried to start it up, one of the 3 fusible links blew on my positive battery connection and smoke was coming from around the battery, so I replaced it and now my engine will turn over but it cant start, and there's no power going to my fuel pump and I have no spark. I have power going to everything else (Lights, fan, stereo, locks... etc, all still work)... Any ideas on whats happening?

Vehicle:
1992 Pathfinder SE
3.0L V6 4WD

It's possible you "may" have fried the ECM, but you need to do a little more checking to confirm that. Do the red and green LED's on the ECM light up with the key on?

I agree it may be a fried ECM considering the circumstances...I just had my idle air valve replaced due to intermittent hard starts and they ended up replacing the ECM at no cost because the valve in itself didn't solve the issue even though it was mechanically failing and didn't just need cleaning. I would check into the ECM as well..
