I am stuck and have been trying to start the car and no luck.

Car is turning over, following light on in gauge cluster,m and s green lights flashing, oil light on, battery light on, descent light on and red light on for temp gauge(needle is on blue)

I took apart and cleaned terminals, scubbed them and grounding points.

Car has 109k miles.

Please help!

*resolved, see below posts. New battery installed and car started. *

 

Ps car wforecast driven 12 hours ago, temp is 50 deg.

 

Battery voltage is 12.55

 

SO it turns over fine but wont fire?
Are you getting spark?
Yes, bad fuel pump.
No spark, bad crank position sensor.

 

Ok was at autozone and upgraded to duralast gold with 800cca, brought home and installed. Car started up on first attempt.

Spike, dark here in NYC and just saw your message. Will have my mechanic check on Monday.

Is it possible it was the battery? Was about 2 years old, duralast with 650 cca.

 

Yes it is very possible the battery was bad.

 

whoa whoa whoa... where are you man? are you in manhattan? does the cluster say the truck is in park? is the shifter show the red light illumnating the P near park at the shifter?

 

Hey bro I was near Jamaica, am on the island now. I was able to hitch a ride to autozone and take my duracrap battery with me. They tested it twice and read 12.55, after much pursuation they allowed me to exchange for a duralast gold and pay the difference.

Before I went to autozone, I cleaned terminals with baking soda and water and then a scouring pad and all the cables and grounding points. I checked all connections and fuses. I really clamped down the connections and still no go, just turned over.

Truck was in park, shifter and cluster showed park and red light next to shifter was red. I shifted to N an tried starting with no luck.

I drove about 30 miles, and ran fine, will keep you guys updated.

:/

 

can still be a few things. could be the CPS, could be one of the wires worked loose from the eylet at eiter pos or neg to the battery, could be fuel pump. usually if M & S is flashing you are having an electrical connection problem. once the voltage to the tranny drops you go into limp.

 

The m and s only flash when car is not starting. Once car starts, there are no lights on or CEL. Only when the car won't start, m and s flash green, hill decent yellow icon and battery and oil light are on.

Anyone close by willing to help me check for a case of beer or two?
