Reawakening a dead 240sx

[Rikadyn]

I've had my 240sx since I was 16, but due to circumstances, it hasn't been ran in 2yrs, now, i used to before hand, atleast move it and run it for 30mins every other week, but during the fall last year the battery went dead, and I couldn't get it started, and it just sat since.

During the spring I tried to get it to run or just turn over, it did neither, at first the starter gave a kinda grinding noise and and it didn't start, then it just didn't turn over at all.

You think I have a shot at getting this car working again?

Definitely. If you put it away running, it shouldn't take much to get it running again.

The lst time I heard grinding from a starter it was because there was teeth missing from either the starter or the fly wheel. This is usually pretty freaking loud grinding though.

Get a good battery, make sure your starter is ok.

Also depending how old it is, you may need to clean the fuel system. New filter, clean injectors, etc.

yea...grinding made me go wtf and jump back, then when trying to jump it, had some sparking which ended the project for the day...replaced the blown fuses already though...

Well, you might have some sparks when connecting the jumper cables to the battery.
