No Tach, CEL Light, TCS/Slip Lights

My freakin alarm installer screwed me again. After hooking up my remote start, my car dies today.

It won't crank. I have to pump the gas to get it to turn over

No tachometer at all
CEL on the dash
TCS on the dash
"slip" on the dash

After doing some searching, it looks like maybe it's my airbox sensor?

I went and looked, and sure the hell enough my airbox isn't mounted. The screws that attach to the radiator support are missing. I can pull my airbox out with my hands. Jackasses. I am totally taking them to small claims court...


Is this my airbox sensor?
Is it my ECU?
Is it something else?

anyone that can save me the hassle of towing it to the dealer would be on my short list of awesome people

Well I unplugged the battery overnight (to reset the ecu) and nothing

Still all the same lights on the dash, and no tach when I rev the engine, or accelerate

WTF did these jackasses do to my car??!?!?

Well

Looks like I will have to take it to the dealer.

N one can give me any idea of what's going on here? I have searched and searched, and can't find any info on a "broken" tachometer.

It has to be the ECU right? Maybe 3 different codes? TCS, Tacho, and Check engine ?

your tcs is traction control and check engine light is on because of that most likely,
the tach wire is green & white check for blow fuse or relay

Just a followup....

Ended up being 3 issues:

ECU Reset
Cam Sensor (2 of them actually)
Crank sensor

All totaled, this botched alarm install has cost me $1200.

I will be filing a civil lawsuit against the shop (Mother's Window Tint) after the first of the year (when I can afford the filing fee)

The alarm installer isn't willing to fix everything outside of court? That's suicide for them.

Yeah I would agree....

But this company has 15 BBB complaint in the past 3 years. They also are not returning my phonecals, and have yet to respond to the certified letter I sent asking them for re-imbursement. No one has ever taken this far, I would assume.
