Sr20 - car ran fine, now won?t start. No spark? Bad fuel?
My sr s13 ran fine. Car is down for a few months for me to do suspension work, go to start car now - nothing. No interior lights, radio, brake lights or headlights. Motor tries to turn, but doesn't start.
We realize main fuse is blown, I found acid on my battery and think this may have been the culprit. We replace main fuse, all the lights work now as they are suppose to, but motor still doing the same thing - turns like it?s going to start but never does. Radio also isn?t coming on. I think we?ve been through most fuses. Doesn?t seem to be sparking, but I started thinking and realized the gas in it is quite old now too. Any suggestions here? We pulled the plugs and they *looked* fine.

Fully charge the battery, I also checked the resistance of and cleaned my cam sensors thinking that might be the issue but it really was only the fuse. You had multiple blown fuses? Maybe there's another that you haven't found. Fuel leaking anywhere? Fuel pump priming? |

We tried 2 different batteries and hooked up to jumpers to make sure we had juice. We?ve tried pretty much all fuses in the bay. I am perplexed. We did both the main and engine cont. as well as those tend to be the issues when reading and researching.

Original battery was definitely bad. I found it with leaked corrosion in the top. Everything now happened AFTER I found that, only strange thing I found that may explain the car not starting now. I believe the battery leaking on the top caused the surge to blow the 75 main fuse, as the new fuse has been totally fine.

No spark, last night we ruled that out completely as we tried new plugs just in case and tested on the VC the old and new. The entire issue now is no spark, everything else seems fine. So, I am leaning towards ECU. The battery I found leaking a week ago(ish), and I think that may have been the cause of the main fuse and potentially the ECU going bye bye. Not 100% sure yet, but that?s the prevailing thought.
