gizmofanv Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hello Everone! My ES300 engine is not starting at all. This is the sequence I have followed so far. Day 1 Put key in the ingnition, turned all the the dash boards lights are up --- good. Tried to give ignition, all I here is battery cranking up --- no problem but engine is not starting.....I tought battey may not have enough juice to run the engine ...... jumped ..... same response ....... turned off the automatic headlights, ceiling lights and other electronic componants......tried to start the engine again....no luck.... Day2. Tried again......no luck.....same cranking sound...no different. This is how it sound kut...kut...kut.. nothing else..... I belive power is not going beyond the crank with ignition... It seems battery is ok... Please give me your expert opinion and guide me step by step if possible. Thanks for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I am unsure of what battery cranking up means? Is the starter motor turning over ? Is it making a rapdi clicking noise but the engine is not turnign over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it making a rapdi clicking noise but the engine is not turnign over? ← Thanks for reply! I meant rapid clicking noise but the engine is not tuning over. I feel like starter motor is not turning over. What does rapid clicking noise mean? I'm have no clue about auto terminology. Thanks for your help.

SKperformance Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 It means you do not have enough battery power to the starter. The noise is the solenoid motor trying to engage the high current starter motor but as soon as it does engage the starter it loses charge and the solenoid retracts as it has a voltage drop to great to keep itself engaged. Thus the process keeps repeating and you hear a clicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I try start the car while jumping and somebody applying the gas to get more power / voltage? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I think you need a new battery. When is the last time it started? When you gave the car a jump start from another car ,how long did you let the good car idle to restore it before starting your dead car .

After few hours tried again.... same problem.... I went and had changed the battery. It worked fine. I'll try again to make new battery is running. I really appreciate your expert help. Thanks alot.

SKperformance Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 If you have crappy jumper cables they usually will not help transfer enough power to start. I am unsure what you are saying in your last post. Did you now change the battery in the car? "i went and changed the battery.It worked fine." then you say "I'll try again to make a new battery is running " Those two ideas contradict eachother and i have no clue what you are trying to say you did or didn;t do.

I had installed new battery yesterday, it started the car fine. Just to make sure things are working fine, I wanted to start the car in the morning again. Thanks alot.
