Default Problems starting - help!

Hey guys,

Recently my s2000 started having problems starting.

Here is a video of what it is doing exactly - its more like the second attempt on this video.

I thought it was my battery at first and got a new one but that didn't solve the problem.

Could it be my starter or alternator?

Thanks

Probably the starter if it started fine before and progressively lost its ability to start. Alternator shouldn't stop it from starting on a brand new battery (the battery would just drain out and leave you stranded). Noticed the gauges, are you running an EMS?

If so, have you had your tuner check the tune etc. ?

I'm running the aem fic and the car needs a tune badly.

The car is turbo but has been in "safe" mode due to not having a proper tune.

I did pull the codes and "crank angle sensor" was one of them.

I'm going to order a new one and hopefully that fixes my problem.

oh lol... that changes everything, your tune's probably whack as hell then haha. Try giving it full throttle while cranking and see if it'll start.
