I unhooked the negative terminal on the battery because I removed the front bumper to install my front aero. Aero installed great and I hooked up my battery and noticed the "DSC off" light was flashing. I read the instructions on how to fix it (turn wheel clockwise then counterclockwise) and now its back to normal. Now the car keeps turning over but will not start. Anyone else have this problem?

thanks in advance

Did you shut the engine down cold recently? That can lead to an engine flooding. Try the de-flooding procedure in your owners manual. Otherwise, you may be taking a trip to the dealer. Hope it's still under warranty.

BTW, It's normal for the DSC light to come on after you disconnect the battery. That would have nothing to do with your starting problem.

yeah I have been trying that also but its a no go. I actually had it going for 2seconds then it just sputtered and died.

Thank god for that carmax warranty. I called them and they will take care of it if I cant get it going.

just got it going. went out after 30 minutes of trying and tried again. It started right up. some smoke came out but then it cleaned itself out and its running great. Thanks for the advice Go48

Glad to help. Make sure you let the engine come up to operating temps whenever you start it before shutting it down.
