Default Engine help

I dont know if this is the right topic, and if it isnt, please fell free to move it.

I have a 1988 civic dx, hatchback, with its stock motor. the only changes done to it, is the installation to the intake system.

My problem is as follows. The car wont start. It cranks, and it gets fuel, but after a couple of tries to turn it on, the battery gets low.

If anyone can help me, it'll be great. Im new, so i hope to "kick it" here for awhile, Thanks.


If you need anymore info let me know.

first thing you should do is get the charging system checked out. Make sure the alternator is charging the battery

yeah, i think there is a loose wire taking up all the juice.

Also, my "fan" seems to only turn on when i press a switch.
can anyone give a step by step on how to hook it up, so it only turns on when it needs to?

I will have some pics soon, so just you wait
