Default Working out the bugs - Inflatable Restraints and Ride Control System?

Anyone have ideas on where to start trouble shooting these two issues? I have replaced all 4 FX3 controlers on top of the shocks and the air bag has never been blown in the car? are there common issues with these?

Thanks in advance

Ok, I've got the ride control working. I discovered that the nut that holds the RH front shock was loose and after i tightened it everything started working.


Any ideas on why she would randomly decide not to start from time to time. If i let the car sit overnight without doing any thing else she'll start right up in the morning. Or i can roll start her and the next time i turn the key she fires right up. Security system maybe?

If its security the security light should blink when you try to crank it if its not reading the key.

I have had this happen on my cars from time to time it could be the key it could be the ignition switch is wearing out and not reading the key so check and see if the light is blining when you try to start it.

But you said you can roll start it and pop the clutch and it works I dont think its the security it could be the starter if you get the problem, grab a lond steel rod that can fit down the plenum to the starter and wack the starter and see if it starts I have seen this as well and saw gordon K do this trick at a gathering once.
