I just picked up this 93ls from my brother the other day. About 3 months ago the car died and wouldn't start. When trying to start it nothing happens. No clicking or no turning over. All lights, radio, and everything else came on so we he didn't think it was the battery. So he assumed it was the starter and bought another one.

Fast forward to the other day, we put the starter on and it is doing the same thing except this time nothing is coming on from sitting for 3 months. So we try to jump start it. All the lights and everything came on again but still no clicking, no turning over, and of course not starting. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be?

We checked all the grounds and made sure all the wires where connected to the starter but everything checks out fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

check for fuel and spark. sounds like a ignitor/coil.

 

Have you check your ignition fuse?

 

its not anything related to spark. Spark has nothing to do with the engine turning over. an engine will still turn but it wont start unless you have spark. It sounds to me like you may have blown a battery fuse or the battery is not in good enough condition or the engine could be seized up or bad neutral safety switch or a bad igntion switch. Sorry its a lot of stuff but there are numerous reasons why a car wont crank. You might just have bad luck like me and have something really stupid and simple that fucked up but you overlooked it. Triple check all connections and GROUNDS.

 

Yeah, sounds like the charging system or battery, or the battery fuse, when my battery went on my car one chilly december morning, my lights and what not would all work, but wouldnt even make a noise when i turned the key.

Try the battery, and battery fuse, and if you dont know where that fuse is, its under the hood, in that fuse box, and i believe is a 70amp, and required a phillips head screwdriver to remove.

Good luck
