check plugs and wires? make sure the wires are firmly attached to

plugs. then check for spark i use a spark check pen, u just hold it.
against the wire and turn the motor over and the pen shows a
bright flash.

Take off the PCIII, so the ECM is back to stock and see if it starts. If it starts right up, you know the problem is something you did when you installed the PCIII. You can then focus your troubleshooting on the PCIII.

check the ecm fuse ,if you blew the fuse your PC crashed.My 2000 RG with the MM EFI crashed 3 pc with in 1 1/2 years went with a sert no troubles. Your 07 has the delphi EFI which I think it the best there is.

Did you check for spark? Always when diagnosing a no start check for fuel and fire. Once you have ruled those out you normaly check timing but in this situation it would be the computer that needs checked.

Check some wiring around the battery posts. We had a failure of this sort over the weekend where the o2 sensor wire wore through and shorted on the +ve post. This put the other sensors using the common ground out of wack also. Currently being fixed under warranty but this is the second 07 that I have heard of with a similar problem. Yours could be a 3rd?

cheers

Mick
