my car wouldnt start today. I had it jumped and the guy said my battery was gone. So i replaced it and it wouldnt start even after jumping the new battery. When we hit the fuse box it started up. I drove it to work and the car keeps fluttering and sort of jerking forward. It shut off twice once while i was still in traffic and once while attempting to back up. I let it sit and run for 45minutes and it keeps reving up high then going really low consistently while its parked. i dont know whats wrong can you please help me.
The first problem may have been a loose or dirty connection at or near the fuse box. Check all the battery connections at both ends.
The second problem sounds to me that the engine has to go through a "relearn" process. On some vehicles (don't know what your vehicle is) when the battery is disconnected the ECM (engine contol module) loses it's memory. It will run bad until it has gone through a couple of drive cycles.
i just changed my batterys out on my truck now my check engine light is on?
changed battery in 2000 chrystler sebring and now will not idle
check for distributor rotation. maybe your timing belt went out
a 127 should do the job,Wouldnt recommend a truck battery
If the starter makes no attempt to crank the engine and you did not disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery during the clutch job, maybe the battery drained from something left on while you had the truck apart (ignition left on, doors left open, etc).
I am having the same problem. Therefore, I took it to a mechanic who said it is probably the oxygen sensor.
check all wiring and connections for proper hookup. if no start still, reinstall old cap and rotor. If no start still, do diagnostic on electrical system.
If you changed the battery on a Saturn S-Series 201 and the car will crank over, but won't start, the security system needs reset. Do this by inserting the key and turning it halfway. Leave it this way for 10 minutes before trying to start the car.
Your alarm needs to be reset. Look in the manual for instructions. The alarm was probably arms when you changed the battery an now the alarm computer is thinking that it is being triggered by the ignition.
A code needs to be put in once the battery is changed. The code can be found in the owners manual
The battery is needed for the car to start. Re-install the battery and try again.
First check the cables going to the battery and where they connect to the battery and the body of the car and engine and to the starter if all of that is good then I would think that it may be the starter.
