s13 cranks weak

[carlos240]

okay so this is what happened just recently put in another ka24e & I had it running for a week. After I replaced my alternator due to not charging my battery I decided to get on the high way coming off I put it to neutral it automatically turned off on me, tried cranking it while it was still moving but it didn't start. when I checked I wasn't running any coolant. now that I try cranking it, it all you can hear is the starter cranking but the belts are still turning slowly. its getting spark & fuel but nothing any ideas :confused:

check battery voltage and charge it if its low. it should fire right up

[brndck]

what does "i wasn't running any coolant" mean?

[carlos240]

@noflexI've charged the battery over night & it's still the same, & @brndck well antifreeze to keep the engine from over heating

so you had pure water or no water/coolant at all?

[joe3180]

did you get a new battery? might just be completely dead.

No it's not the battery I know that for sure, & no water/coolant at all. I also lost all compression to my engine I'm just going to change the whole head from my old ka & put the timing chain back in its place & we should be running

Holy shit, it ran for a week with no cooling system?!
