Try turning the belt at the alternator by hand or get a wrench and see if you can turn it. The belt might slip if the engine is locked up or loose and old. If it slips then you need to get a 19mm socket and ratchet and turn the crank pulley bolt and see if the engine spins.

and remember to drain your blinker fluid first. Old blinker fluid can seize a rotary engine.

Why? What's wrong with your blinker fluid? You should get that checked out right away.

I doubt it's flooded if your starter motor's not cranking. Check out the 2nd generation FAQs. They have lots of information there. It's a ton better than coming on here and having people telling you to check your blinker fluid.

What year is your FC. there is a difference between S4 and S5 and Turbo models. Such as some have more problems with blinker fluid.

"28% of people drive around and don't ever use their blinkers because they are afraid of running out of it. Another 22% only use them half of the time so you don't really know what they are thinking..." - Yahoo Answers

Well okay so I bought some new battery terminals today and now I need to buy a new battery at my next pay.. =[

Since my friend is coming over this weekend to check it for me, we'll see whats up.


Also I checked out the FC FAQ page yesterday. It didn't help any. My problem isn't enlisted in the FAQ section.


My car is an S5 btw.

yeah. and if you want real power and torque premix Power Thirst with your gasoline, it will make your car as fast as Kenyans.

If you got a turbo you need Power Thirst Ver. II
