Default Re: Car will not crank, pulled RCM & did solder repair

I have it running now. Many thanks to DJ Tighe. I sent the RCM to him for repair and he replaced several of the relays and re-soldered it. When I reinstalled the repaired RCM, the car still would not start. I had pulled the battery when I took out the RCM and used jumper cables from the battery to the battery cables. I thought this might be an issue, so I put the battery on a trickle charger and the next evening installed the battery correctly and it started. My sons and I were very excited. It had been a better than 9 months since it had started.

Any advice on what work should be done on a car that has been sitting this long would be appreciated. We plan to change the oil and plugs. Not sure if anything else will be needed.

Also, I can't believe the dealership thought this was a SKREEM issue. That would have been an expensive fix that did not solve the problem.

Thanks,
Illini99
