Hi guys any help is apperaited.

I went outside tried to start my car, and the battery was completly dead, nothing.

I replaced the battery because it was bad....
Put gas in it.

The motor turns but does not start. What could be the probelm.
Could it have something to do with the cold, its the first time its been this cold since ive had the car, its like 14 degress today.

Plz help me. Thanx.

 

What did you replace the battery with, a new fully charged one or a used one?

 

A brand new one, is it possible that the battery needs to be started before the charge is really good, because I cant turn on my radio, and the rotation sounds a little slow

When a first got the car I used to just run it, I thought the radio was broken, But then after I drove it around, the radio worked fine, I dont think there was enuff amps(or w/e it is I dont know about eletricity)

Anyways I want to pop start it but there is snow on the ground, and it is hard to push.

 

I bet that your connections are not very good. It is best to have a large copper wire going from the ground terminal to the engine block, and another larger cable going from the positive terminal directly to the starter.

This will solve alot of no start problems. The starter requires lots of power and when the connections are good no power can travel.

 

What should I do bolt the copper wire to a nut that goes on the engine block, like and intake manifold nut?

And I could just get the copper wire from a hardware store right?

 

That should work, i bolted my ground cable to the side of the block right above the starter.

You should be able to get cable at a hardware store. Or cheaper at a electrical place. Ask for something around 0 gauge, 2 gauge might work for ground, but 00 gauge would work the best. I used 0 gauge, because thats all i could find at the time.

 

ok thanx alot man. I will try that as soon as possible, I need a ride to the store. Man this is gonna suck, I cant even get the car in the garge
