Starting Issue Help

[roel03]

I went out this morning and my S14 would not start. I would put the key in and the dash lights come on. When I go to start the lights go really dim and the car turns over but it wouldn't start. Just keeps moaning like it has no power.

Fuel pump primes when putting key in, tried to jump the battery but nothing changed, and you can hear the starter click.

Any ideas?

Could be a combination of things. Have you tried putting your car into Diagnostic Mode?? Use your ECU to tell you if any DTC codes are present.

Starting issues are usually boiled down to dead battery, dead starter, bad starter relay, bad ignition switch, bad distributor and or coil, or dead crank angle sensor.

You're gonna need a Factory Service Manual to figure out what your problem is. I know this isn't much, but it's a start. You're gonna have to follow the test procedures in the FSM to figure out what your problem is.

Good luck!!
