Hi, my car wont start up for me at all, it was fine this morning, started right away and now it wont start at all

what it does when i turn the key is click and sound like theres not enough juice to start it, kind of like when your battery is dead. I've tried jumping the car with another car and it does the same thing.

the clock didn't stop or anything so the battery didn't die. any one know what could cause this? a bad starter perhaps? i didn't realise they would just die like that.

b16a2 motor converted to obd1

 

just installed a new starter and battery and the same thing is happening.

it seems like the starter needs more power then it should to crank, if i hook it up to a external booster i have to crank it up quite a bit.

any ideas??? getting desprate here!! PLEASE HELP

 

did you ground the starter to the car frame?

 

going to bum a ride to the shop to try that now, any more ideas? sorry i'm kinda irritated because i need the car to start my new job tommrow

 

not really I just know that when i hooked up my starter and didnt ground it I had the same result (looked like the battery was almost dead).

 

i'm going to for sure go and check the grounds and ground the starter. Isn't the starter already grounded to the tranny?

takes alot of power to start the car right now and i'm sure its something dumb like that.

 

no there is a wire coming from the starter connecting to the side of the car

 

let me know how it goes, i have the same problem

Do you?

Sometimes, problems seem the same, but they might not be.

It does seem like both of you might have an engine ground problem.

Both of you should try to follow this flow chart. It has worked wonders for me in the past.
