[Shotimes] SHO Won't Start and/or died

[Carl Prochilo]

I've seen several posts on this topic lately.  My son had a problem just of this nature.  Unfortunately he is 4.5 hrs away at college, not so easy to see what's going on.  Finally got a chance to get up here.  First thing I did was to pull the codes.  He only had one stored code, a 542, and the static test was clean.  Next I looked at all the electrical connections.  I noticed the rear DIS connector had backed out.  Also, it appears the DIS housing itself is cracked and as a result the retention mechanism isn't secure as it should be.  After all this, my son decides to tell me the car had last died after he ran over a speed bump.  That time he required AAA to bail him out.  

Anyway, after jumpstarting the car, and flooring the gas pedal while cranking, I was able to get the car to fire.  I'm going to find a replacement DIS to ensure this doesn't happen again, but at least the car is good to go for a while.
