Yesterday I received the warning that the under voltage warning. I stopped by the local auto parts store and they tested the battery and alternator and determined the alternator had failed. They told me I had enough battery to make it home. Unfortunately they were wrong and the car died on the road. I jumped it and it started right away. Began driving again and the car shut off less than a mile down the road.


I pulled the battery and took it home to charge fully. I put it in and still it will not start. It turns over without issue. I checked and there is fuel pressure. It seems like it is not firing. I searched online and saw a few mentions that the key may short when jumping so I tried the second key and still nothing.


The car is turning over. As it sits I have replaced the alternator. It is getting fuel to the engine. It seems like for some reason it is not firing.


Is there a security setting that disables the car after jumping it or removing the battery?


Is there a fuse that may have blown and if so any hints as to which one and where it is located?


Can jumping the car cause the CPS to break? I have seen on other forums that this is a common issue but I am not sure what symptoms the car shows that would identify this issue.


I am just hoping to get an idea of what might be wrong and then possible solutions. The car is in a parking lot currently and I am hoping to either figure out what might be wrong and if I can handle it or if I need to get a tow to a repair shop.


Thank you for taking the time to read this and any help would be appreciated.

If you have >55psi fuel pressure the next thing to check is that you have spark.

Start enable fuses are 31, 52 & 57. 52 is OK or it would not crank. Check the others

It could be a CPS problem.

Try to read codes with a scanner.
