KA24E Starting problems.

[nrmskate]

So basically, I let it sit for a week. and this shit happens.

YouTube - KA24E Troubles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3r71tYkMd1w)

Things ive done.

-Checked starter, Napa states its passed.
-checked battery, Battery is at 12 volts. goes to 11.94 when trying to start.

Battery is shit. You need a good 13.8V to turn the car over. Anything less than that isn't enough power.

[nrmskate]

Alright, im going to charge it up today, but my next question is, what is causing it to die?

[projectRDM]

In the video it never started, but after starting if it dies it's probably due to low voltage at the fuel pump. If the battery can't turn the starter over it won't do much better at powering the fuel pump.

[nrmskate]

Alright, im just gonna give it a full charge and see if it starts up.

I think I have an idea on whats causing the battery to die.

Ill post up another video here soon.

also check the allternator fuse! they have been known to blow. This will be (if you standing infront of the car) to your left next to the i/m. And it will more likely be a 75 amper. hope this helps i had the same problem just recently!

[nrmskate]

Well, my 75a fuse has been blown for a while.

But ive been running fine without it, I just ordered one from someone off zilvia.

Hopefully it comes in soon.

^^ i guarantee you thats not the problem
i ran my car without that fusible link and just didnt get power to the dash

[nrmskate]

Yeah, I didn't think it was the problem. But it would have solve some electrical issues.

[nrmskate]

I think it might be the battery like that guy said.
