1JZ squeaked and died and now wont start!! Video inside!!
Well ive been troubleshooting my car for the last couple of days. The car randomly died on me after making a loud squeak while driving out of a parking lot. I immediately re-started the car and it ran for a few seconds before making another loud squeak and then dieing again. Since then it hasnt started.
It sounded like the battery was dead so we obviously tried to jump the car but that didnt work. This is what happened.
So after getting the car towed to my house, i decided to take the battery out and get it tested and it turned out that there was a bad cell and the battery had 0 CCA, so i bought another battery put it in and still no start. I then knew it had to be fuel or spark. I started with the spark plugs and found them to be in pretty rough condition. They were burnt at the ends and were slightly wet with gas. To me that meant fuel probably wasnt the issue. Especially since i hear the fuel pump on. I bought new spark plugs, changed them out and still no start. I wasnt able to check for spark due to it being late and dark, but i plan on doing it tomorrow.
Heres what it sounded like after the new battery and spark plugs. Also the cranking you hear/see in the videos gets weaker and weaker with every try. Does that mean something? SN: Yes i was desperate trying to jump a brand new battery lol
So at the end of this, I know Im early in the diagnostic process but I wanted to put a video up just in case someone has had a similar problem to mine and can fast track this process. So assuming I have no spark, what should be my next check? Crank postion sensor?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I'd check the CPS first, maybe try the igniter as well? What were you trying to diagnose when it happened?

I have read that it i can use a multimeter to test to the CPS out. Does anyone know what resistance it needs to be?
