Grandson's 2004 and she died on the road. Got her towed home and OBD codes are 0562 and 700. I recognize codes, but she cranks and voltage at battery is 12.0VDC. i suspect a bad alternator but told GS to check for fuel flow to Throttle Body. Any other suggestions?

 

an alternator has nothing to do with starting a car its only works when the car is running.

 

0562 Lower Voltage output from the alt than expected
0700 Trans has a code that will require a reader to see.
Still should start if you have 12v at battery.
Check for fuel: Do you hear the pump run for a few seconds with key on.
Check ALL fuses: Dash panel and underhood (PCM is fused as is the ASD relay, "SSR" fuse is part of the Alt circiut)
Does it crank "normal" ?
Slow: Weak battery, poor connections at jump post, ground stud, and/or battery
Faster than normal: Has the timing belt been changed? 7 yrs/105k interval and if it slipped or broke will have bent valves/low compression/fast crank speed
Got Spark: Pull a coil and check
No Spark: Crankshaft sensor suspect, have seen them fail without codes causing no start.

 

Had GS check for fuel delivery. Had a CPS go on my neon and it would start, run for 10 min to 15 min and die, cool down and start again. She cranks normal, he said when it died the gas pedal went limp (told hm to look at throttle cable) and brake pedal went hard. Wil check the CPS.
Thanks.

 

So We have fuel flow, replaced Crankshaft and Cam shaft sensors and still no start. +30F and we are outside. plus wind keeps blowing.

 

check the timing belt then

 

The beat goes on. Hood now closed due to weather, pulled cable realease handle and cable broke (somewhere). Suggestions for reentry.
