Posted by: devilchild

im usually on the mark viii threads ...and know absolutely nothing about eldo's..

my girl has a 92 eldo 4.9l .. she went to start the car today.. nothing happened... she tried again... again nothing...

powers up... no click.... no turning of the engine.. nothing at all..

across the comp screen in the dash reads... " wait 3 mins..start again"... or something like that.... im going by what she told me

so she waited 3 mins.... and VIOLA !!! .. it freakin starts right up..

what is the deal with that??.. my mechanic has never heard of this...

is this normal for these... or is this a sign of a problem???

ok... she tells me it actually said " wait 3 minutes ".. then proceeded to count down ..60 sec. later... " wait 2 minutes".. 60 sec. later.. " wait 1 minute".. then after the full 3 minutes it said " start car"...

if that helps..
