Car is Dead

The past two weeks the car has been really acting up. A week ago the clutch started slipping after only 1500 miles. I just got the car back from the collection because one of the hoses was torn apart. Yesterday the check engine light came on our way home from Moroso. Today when I went to pull it in the garage it will not start. The engine will not even turbo over. Could this be a saftey measure because of the check engine light

I'm not sure that the dealership would touch your heavily modified car at this point... bummer!

find out what error is causing the CEL. It might give you a good idea of what's going on.

Does it crank at all? My red one didn't turn over, but it was alarm related.

Duane, I had a similar problem, CEL came on, then next day car wouldn't start, it was the alarm and a problem with the key...maybe try disconnecting the battery and use your spare key.

Good luck I hope it's nothing major.
