SD> Since we're on the subject of no-start
My 86 Daytona is in a funk of non-starting as well. I was going to wait till I get a new battery for it next week, but I figured I'd ask the list. When I turn the key, the fuel pump primes, the dash lights up, then I push the key to the start position, and it dies. Everything shuts down. Of course I can't pull any codes, But I learned if I disconnect the battery, It will allow me to get power to everything, but again shuts down if I try to start it. Anyone have any ideas? Bad ground? Bad Computer? Whack job backyard mechanic being stupid forgetting something? ---REMOVE-FOOTER-WHEN-REPLYING Questions?

RE: SD> Since we're on the subject of no-start
Sounds like the battery doesn't have enough power to turn the starter and subsequently, the engine, just enough to run some accessories. I've noticed that the underhood heat and vibration tends to cause batteries in these cars to fail. Plus many battery's will lose a cell when they are heavily discharged and so they might act "okay" if recharged, but they'll lose charge over time and make the car harder to start (especially when the weather is either extremely cold or extremely hot) Stefan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2006 11:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SD> Since we're on the subject of no-start My 86 Daytona is in a funk of non-starting as well.
