Electrical Problem

93 LS400

In my previous post, still haven't changed the distriubtor cap nor the rotor yets... not the main problem so far....

O.K. Here is my main problem for this post. Everytime I put my key in the ignition before turning.... dash board light lits up.... right after I turn the key, everything died. Later on, I decided to pop the hood and jiggle the positive and negative coil to see if they were loose which it isn't. Hood closed and tried again. Door light on the dash lits up again, so I decided to test the emergency lights and it died again.... Anything wrong?

the starter wouldnt make your car die like that

[itzdaviboi]

When I turn the key, battery just died out and I don't hear a clicking from the starter or so. I checked the battery with a voltage meter and it said the battery is good.

Your voltmeter checks the battery with no load.......when you crank the

engine, may take 200amps, that will kill a failing battery.

Try a known good battery before doing anything else!! ;)

Sounds like a failing battery to me. I had the same problem with my 90. Take a lot of amps to crank that Hoss starter that hardly ever fails.
