94 del sol si. D16z6 Car started fine all week. Two days ago I bled the clutch line because it just stopped working. Worked fine until today. Went out for a quick trip came back and let it sit for two hours. Got in turned the key and pump primed and everything worked except the moment I went to go and start it made a kind of zap sound from the engine and cut out. Tried again and only the door chime works.

I checked the fuses they seem fine. The battery is only a year old and was replaced the same time I got a new alternator. The battery was in the car with a bad alternator for less than a day. Disconnected the radio, still nothing. Door chime works when Key is in but once I put it in II it slows down like it is dying. Any ideas? NO CEL because nothing is lighting up.
Edit: Full tank of gas and could it seriously have messed it up if I accidently flipped the headlights on at the same time I was cranking it? (don't ask how I managed it. I was in a rush)

 

check your battery voltage, if it low charge it clean the connections and try it again

 

I'll take it to autozone in the morning for that. Also I should probably pick up some new battery cables. Mine are old and look like something ate them. Will any brand do?
Edit: At this point it is between autozone Duralast 2 gauge cables or O'Reilly 4 gauge super start.

 

Sounds like the something with the battery or connections. And Go with the 2 gauge no doubt!

 

Got a new negative cable, had to go with 4 gauge I couldn't wait for the 2 to ship. New clamps on both terminals. The positive one was basically corroded and snapped in half but I had to replace the clamp only on that one.
Battery was 100%
Thanks for the suggestions!

 

So the car runs now?

 

Yup. Just very bad battery leads that finally died out.

 

Glad you got it all figured out!

 

Good to hear!
