My friend has a 01 Galant, 2.4 L engine. She said it ran fine, but one morning, it would not start.
I checked for fuel flow at the pump, and fuel flow is good when in the start postition, but no fuel in the on postion.

I looked for spark at the plug wire (screwdriver in the end, and held it close to ground), but did not see any.

Downloaded trouble code, had a P1610, and one pending, that never came up.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

OK, well, I didn't get much help here, but maybe you thought I was an idiot.
Anyway, I searched the web, till I found that P1610 is a run inhibit code. I pressured the girl for more info, and found out, that the key she was using was not the original. She had lost the chip key the night before , and the next day, tried to start the car with a normal metal key, which of corse, let the starter turn over, but not start. I told her, to have a new chip key made, and now everything is fine.
Thanks for the interesting reading anyway.

 

That is good info thanks sorry you got no replys but thats how it goes sometimes if i had seen this earlier i would of said something but thanks for some helpful info
