Hey I just got a gift from my uncle, a "nice" 1992 Lexus LS 400
haha imagine the gas mileage on that :-P
Well The problem with this fine thing, is that IT WON'T START.
I charged the batter up at autozone, and I brought it back and put in inside and tried to start it.
It turns on and everything else works when I get to the ACC: position on the ignition.
When I try to start, everything shuts off and then turns back on but the car doesn't start.
I hear the clicking sound of it trying to start, I have checked the fluid levels of the car and everything is up to date.
I thought the battery was bad, but it isn't.
I called my uncle and asked him what's going on since he use to drive the lexus and he likes working on cars as well.
He told me that the car should start up fine because he was driving it just a week ago.
I was thinking it may be the battery terminals on the battery cables of the lexus that might be bad because on the positive side part of the terminal clamp broke off towards the edge of it.
I am thinking it might be that since part of the positive side terminal broke off, the starter might not be getting as much amps it needs to start the massive engine.
So I am thinking about buying a new terminal for it, but I want to hear other's opinions before i go out and end up wasting money.
But I am not sure if that is what the problem is.
Could anyone help me or can relate to this problem.
All help is accepted
thanks.
