Trouble Starting...

[battistoni21]

This JUST happened to me last night..... everything was good, until i got off work at 9..... when i got in my car, and turned the key, it seemed like my car was like running out of battery...... there was no clicking, it just seemed like my battery wouldn't start. This morning it did the same thing...... I just changed my plugs on saturday..... my battery light is not on..... could it possibly be my fuel pump? I have 83500 milwes on it.....any one know what the fu*k is goin on? I'm really getting fed up with my car, really quick..... please some one help me out....

There should be no reason your battery wasnt working if you dont leave on electronics when you dont have the car on, unless you have one of those wally world batterys.

^mine did the same thing, and i have a redtop....

still don't know why.. everything was fine, but when i turned the key, nothing. everything turned off... no power anywhere.

i think my batt is toast. i'm getting a yellow top and new alt in a few weeks.

problem is still unresolved.. i just hope it doesn't do it again...

i got an AC delco battery..... i had a new one in there when i got the car(at 75000) would it be time to change it you think? Or could it be my alternator?

what i would do is rip your battery out and get it tested to see if shes still good or not, if shes good, kiss your alternator good bye. it could very well be both though, but i would go with your hunch and test the battery out. i have a feeling thats what the problem is. let us know what ya find

[battistoni21]

will do, im off today, thank god, would auto zone or advanced auto parts have a battery tester?

You could take both the alternator and the battery into your local autozone for testing and go from there.

I have the same exact problem (cherry explained his the same as mine) mine was Not the battery, I have went through 3 different batteries(they didnt burn out i just changed them to see if that was the problem), and even after changin them out the same problem occours. The only solution i have had so far is cleaning off my postive and negative connections to the battery (the cables), I had my alternator and battery both checked multiple times, They are in great condition. Im as lost as you guys as to what the problem may be. Im thinkin it is a short or a loose connection, maybe burnt up wires who knows :blink:

i tried a new fuel pump relay, and it still doesn't start right, im going to get all of my plugs and coils checked.... i think my coil pack is bad, or at least a couple of them...... does anyone know of where to get a new one for cheap or a good price? Let me know...

[battistoni21]

well i finally found out what my problem was...... it was my bettery all along :blush: :blink: I did not know this because my battery light never came on at all...... i'm thinking about getting a a pillar with two pods and getting a volt gauge and something else so i dont have this problem again.....
