itzdaviboi Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdaviboi Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROYT Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 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!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFeldes Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
