trying to start a old car

[scott93257]

remove the battery, Trickle charge it over night, put the battery back in the car... Problem solved. unless there are some other underlying issues..

[TheOmightyOne]

is it me or is the negative lead missing ? i can can only see the red postive lead from car to car?

[scott93257]

@TheOmightyOne

Its probably buried in a bunch of other stuff...But it wouldn't crank at all if it were missing...

[blindmotorhead]

Hi, I'm totally blind so pardon the dumb question, but about what year and what model was the car?

[queensplazasouth]

get a new battery!

[shelbykenny]

if the battry is OLD and dead, it dont matter how many or how long u let it charge. Get a new battry. Quit being so cheap & buy a new battry for it.

[mudderboy1]

hey yall hows yall been? sorry for no vids been busy and aint got a camera yet. got a new truck love to show vids some time

[naher1]

just swap batteries dammit

[pskittle488]

First, do you still have the car? If not, then the rest of this comment won't mean shit. Secondly if you would have let it charge completely, then you wouldn't be having this issue. A car with E.F.I. has to have a minium of 8-9 volts to the computer at start -up to operate. You probably have barely that at rest, i.e. it won't start, period. If you don't have the car, then forget what I said.

[mudderboy1]

man wish i had a camera lately. so many new things to show but no camera

[MrSambrero]

let the fukin battery charge dumb ass, trying it over an over again is doin nothin for yu. rev up the truck an leave the battery to charge for a bit.

[tss212]

you need to get a real truck

[C0LL1N]

just battery issues, nothing to do with gas

[NorthernRednek01]

*Trying to start a COLD car, right? That's not an "old" car.

That's what, a 95+ Sunfire? That's not old.

And my 95 Grand Prix fires the first time every time and has never left me stranded...

[vccranker]

[Seaguy199421]

Sounds like the engine is blown

[Matthew55904]

[footman24]

@Matthew55904

I happen to own a pontiac, best car i ever had. They all have thier reputations, example FORD (Found On Road Dead)

[Matthew55904]

@footman24 fords r shit 2 they never start saturns and pontiacs ur are shelling out 100s a month in constant repairs

[blindmotorhead]

You said you got it started right? If so, did you get it on video? If you didn't, that sucks!

[1979lincolncoupe]

good grammar

[BLU3Fi5H]

i stick a piece of gum on the lil speaker that makes the dinging sound, doesnt kill it, but makes it alot quieter. lol

[locoguy2427]

weak battery, starter and coroded battery cable :-)

[socool666420bc]

the battery is fuct, cables aree probably fuct, country sucks, obviously that battery is the culprit.

[danielc365]

[mudderboy1]

[macbookpro57]

[98gagt]

i used to have a Grand Am like that except it was the 3.1L V6...and mine did the exact same thing one day..it took a good hour to get it running and then we found out it had an exhaust leak..sheesh!

[locoguy2427]

sounds like a weak battery and a weak starter. Wat year is this Grand Am?

[vaibrasphere]

I know Dave.

[jmurray01]

[dickheadofdoom]

[ozzy453]

[mudderboy1]

lol ya but it was doing that before we parked it. and yes it has full oil

[giberish9]

probably just a coroded battery cable

[wagner59270]

might have a weak starter

[auaiao9]

is it a pontiac sunbird?

[mudderboy1]

no grand am

[V8Jagnut]

that's not a old car.lol you need better jumper cables. you will never get a EFI car started with what voltage.

[mudderboy1]

those are the beast cables you can egt plus they are new. the batt is campletaly dead right now thats why its so crappy at turning over.

[V8Jagnut]

thats the problem. new jumper leads a crap. find a good old set and you will be happy.

[Matto2t]

What year is this car, and is it a Pontiac Grand Am?
