Hi guys... let me start by saying that I'm new to the S2K thing and well pretty excited but I have a problem.... My car crancks slowly but doesnt turn on. I really dont know what it could be. I would really appreciate any help and info from you guys. THANKS!!!!

 

does it crank slowly and then give up trying?

 

have you tried the obvious and jumped the car or replaced the battery?

 

also where are you located ? like do you have 80 degree weather or are you buried under 20 inches of snow like alot of us ?? if its really cold the car will have a hard time starting up

 

car just cranks slowly.. yeah checked the obvious battery etc.... weather is pretty clear just alittle rainy.

 

Whats your voltage with the key off?

 

1. What year S2000?
2. How old is the battery?
3. What do you mean "you checked the battery?"
4. What geographic are are you located in?
5. How long since you last drove your car.

A car's battery can "test okay" at Autozone, but still not have enough oomph when it's cold... having this problem even after sitting a few days if the battery is weak enough.

 

1. Its a 2002
2. Dont really know how old the battery is but i havent replaced it
3. If I jump start the car it should turn on if it the battery is bad right?
4. Im way south Texas so its not cold here.
5. I bought the car the way it is, car just stoped working "wat previous owner says.

What im thinking of doing is im going to try to jump start the car.. like that ill see if is the battery or something with the power. Im also going to put some fuel on the throttle to see if it might have something to do with the fuel system.. maybe a bad fuel pump or something...

Ive had other cars like DSM's and sometimes its a sensor or something that is making the fuel pump not work.. So I just thought these cars might have a trick or something that is really common that prevents them from turning on... thanks for your help guys!!

 

id try jumping the car first
