Hello everyone...I went out to start my 87' iroc L98 (stock) and to my surprise, it does not start. When I first turned the key, there was no fuel pump priming....but once I took out the key again and tryed it once more, the pump wines. But, the car does not even turn over! I turn the key and there is a wining noise coming from the somewhere in the engine bay (this is not the fuel pump). Starts out high pitched and fades off. Not too loud. My battery meter reads a little under 1/4. The car has been in storage all winter and has not been driven this summer. I've started it alot to move it and whatnot though.

It did recently come back from the shop because of some paper towel being sucked inside of it (long story) and I do know they cranked it over alot. Maybe it just needs a good charge? Or maybe even a new starter?

Thanks,

 

Yea it sounds like your battery may be dead. Before doing much other troubleshooting i would try charging the battery or borrow a known good one from another car temporarily for a test. Also check your connections.
