I left my car out of state for a whole year. Throughout the year i was told that my alarm kept going off and drained my bettery. The battery was dead so I replaced it, but the car still won't start at all...
Is there anything else that could be wrong with it? It's a 91 N/A. I'm just startin work and about to start school again and I really need it to get around. Any feeback would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

does it crank? Or is it dead still?

some kind of specification is generally helpful.

it doesn't crank at all. there is nothing to hear as i start the ignition.

 

ok so your starter is not getting power. Test to make sure the battery is good. If it is check both the ground and the power wire going from the batt to the starter.

yea its a brand new battery. i will definitely check the power wire when i get a chance. thank you sir.

 

I'd also like to say check the fuses.

 

well if your alarm kept going off,I would suggest trying to Find out How to shut the Alarm OFF.,as I am Thinking that could be the Problem right there.If the Alarm is on,then it won't allow the car to Start.

how is the voltage fix goin?

+1 to the alarm and fuses.

Also, if you're going to be away from the car for some period of time, disconnect the + terminal to prevent draining the battery. Even with the car off, there is a mA or so of discharge, which over several months, will kill a good battery.

 

problem solved! a fuse was out - i think it was the egi... replaced it, started the car, gave it a few cranks and smoke was blowin everywhere - it was beautiful, haha. appreciate the advice from everyone here!

 

Yep..having NO EGI would definitely be the culprit..Happy ROTORING!...Now,Post some Pics of your Ride!

 

score one point for the good guys!

 

thanks, i'll post some pics as soon as it's washed (it has been collecting dirt for a year). it's nothing special though.
