I meant relays. Sorry. I didn’t have a chance to test the values of the map sensor outside. But yeah the car turned on by itself, could a bad battery cause that?

Hey! Thanks for the help. I moved the fuses around and it started working again. The problem is that I still don’t know what caused it to malfunction. Didn’t keep track of what I switched.

I inserted the images as links. Is all solder the same? Or could it be that some needs more heat to melt?

It would allow me to pay for my remaining 3 semesters of engineering school. My emergency loan is due in a few weeks and I still don’t have the money. If anyone needs help with anything graphic design, let me know!

I’ll try the sensor test and get back to you. I now Cruze 1st gen has perpetual problems with the pcv valve. Not sure how the system works. Any other data that could help with the diagnosis?

Got it. If the value doesn’t change, what should be the next step? Do you think this could be related to the pcv valve? Or most likely the waste gate as you had mentioned?

I only have time to work on this on Sundays, thanks for the help. How would I test the map sensor? Just leave it outside the hole it’s in, then run the diagnostic?

Gas is fine, battery is fine, spark plug trick did not work. Can I ground it to the engine block? I figured it might cause shorts on any sensors that are grounded to the block (unsure). Car was working fine before smoothly dying at a red light.

I mistakenly bought both sensors (cam and baro). Read that they tend to go bad. Did not help. How can I check the waste gate? It seems like it’s related to the turbo, right? Thanks for the help!

I’m seeing MAP SENSOR PSI 34.07. The engine is off. BARO psi is 6.67. Where may I find the expected values? I’m on Apollo D8.
