    DIC Issues!

    Hello again!

    Today my 2002 9-5 was sputtering when I turned it over.
    I changed the DIC, and the sputtering went away, but now it wont start!

    Now, the clip that attaches to the DIC has 10 female slots that correspond to the 10 male slots on the DIC cassette.
    When I look at the clip, I see 9 metal connectors and one "empty" slot, with nothing inside of it. Is that a ground of some sort, or did I lose the metal connector when I took it off?

    So -

    1. Could it be the starter wire?
    2. Is there anything else I can check?
    3. If it is a problem with the clip, what is the harness I need to order called?

    As always, your time is appreciated.

    According to the wiring diagram/female connector (clip) drawing, is pin #1 (on the row adjacent to the pin with RD/BU wire) not having a wire connected to it. Pin being upper, left corner - dependent on view of course.

    Assuming it still turns over, could of course the problem be something like fuel supply, CPS etc., but is the replacement DIC believed to be in good order - and correct type? One step could be to put back in the original cassette to note whether or not you get the "sputtering when I turned it over" symptoms again.

    does the motor turn over ? if not then check fuses on the drivers side you may have a blown fuse.
