ok so my brother just bought a 85 gsl-se and it drove fine for about 3 day then one nite it flooded and we hand to pull the plugs and drain it then we replaced all the plugs with new ones. wile we were working on the car the radio was on and the battery died so we had to push start it, after we did it ran fine for about 5 mins till it ran out of gas so we filled it up and tryed to start it but now it wont staryt no matter what and when you go to start it it turns over but ever rotation it gets slower and slower till it just stops turnins all together and it wont push start any more. so plz any help would be great and hope we can get it up and running again

 

First, check the plugs agian and make sure you have plenty of fuel. If that doesn't solve it, you may have ran the tank down and plugged the pickup screen in the tank with debris.

 

ok ill try that but that doesnt realy explain the wierd starting probly about how its realy realy slow and then just stops turning. even when its getting jumped it doesnt help

 

Battery needs to be fully charged, if that still doesn't help, then check/clean all of the battery cable connections. Might be a good time to replace the cables if they are original.

 

ok ill try that cuz we put it a new battery and it still didnt help another thing is the new battery went dead after like maybe one and a half days of sitting could all this be due to a bad ground somewhere

 

Bad grounds won't discharge a battery. Somthing else is draining it off. That can be a pita to trace down, start with any non-oem items.

 

its all stock we got it from an impound lot the kid they took it from lost it racing. when we got it it had no power steering belt or fuild and no air pump belt. it looks too be in good shape and nothing has been hacked out to my knowledge but you can never tell. i just thought it was wierd how its always started realy slow almost rotating to slow to start even with a new battery

 

That's very common with bad battery calbes. Even with good cables and a bad battery, they can be hard to jump start somedays. The fuel pump switch indicates it may have had a flooding problem/leaking injectors. Many choose this quick fix instead of doing it correctly.

 

the same thing was happening to my fb.... i would get it runnin for five minutes then it would die... i would get a new battery and it wouldnt turn back on after i would turn the car off... I just disconnected my electric fan... and whoala. lol. turned out it was takin all the juice... wasnt even that big of a fan. sorry to get off topic but yea. /// when u try to start the car ur doin it with jump cables right? rotation gets slower and slower...? Are u just charging the battery?
Hey at least the engine isnt blown right? at least not yet...
hope u get it running.

 

ok guy thankxs for all the info turns out that autozone gave us a starter for a 12a and it wasnt strong enough for the 13b got the right starter and it fires right up....still looking for that battery drain thow

 

It was a bad starter then. I have yet to notice any difference between them. To simplify tracing down the drain, disconnect one of the battery cables, the connect a multimeter between the cable end and the batt post. You should see a tiny reading. Pull fuses from under the dash 1X1 to test circuits. Keep in mine the clock pulls a slight load all the time, as does any aftermarket head unit.
