Your post is just to vauge. I know you think you described the issue, but you didn't.
"My Crossfire died today at work," Taken literally, this is not a SKREEM issue. When we say I car "died" we mean it just quit running. SKREEM issues do not cause the car to quit running, they cause it to not start.
So:
- Do you mean the car quit running ("died"?)
- Or do you mean it refused to start?
"My car recognizes the key." Fine, then you do not have a SKREEM issue, when the SKREEM craps out, the car will not recognize the key. If your SKREEM is bad, here is what you get:
- Put in key, turn it, starter engages and the car almost-kinda-briefly starts, then dies.
- Turn key to off, repeat the above and get the same response.
- Turn key to off, repeat the above - starter won't enage, you get nothing but dash lights.
- Disconnect battery. Reconnect it. Try the above again, you get two starter engagements then nothing, same as before.
If you have any other symptom than this, your SKREEM is fine.
