Question CAR WON'T START
Hello,
My car has been on jacks stand for about a month now. I have finally install my air suspensions... GOOD NEWS right! My battery died out. So i bought a new battery and try to start up my car... It won't start up.
before, my car was working in perfect condition...
Gas is at a quarter tank... What can be the problem?
Anyone know what's wrong... remember before i left it on jacks stand for a month... It was working perfect.

i'm going to see if i put in more gas and see what would happen.
When i barely turn it on so my electric can go through my car. it shows a oil thing on my cluster. Maybe that can be a reason?

i check other threads on the forum... they said fuel pump, fuel pump ECU, alternator, starter... battery...
hmm what can be the problem. I bought a BRAND NEW battery. So it can't be the battery.
the car was working perfectly before it was on jack stand... Could it be the starter fuse

Ok. First try putting some fuel in first and see if it starts.
That is not an electrical problem with that kinda of sound. If it can crank, it's either lacking in fuel or spark judging from that video.
If adding fuel doesn't work. Turn the key completely off. Have someone open the gas cap and put there ears and give the guy in the driver seat a signal to turn the car all the way ON but don't start and see if you could hear the fuel pump working. You can near some type of noise. If you hear nothing, fuel pump aint working. But I doubt it.
Next check for spark. Remove one of the coils out but leave the electrical connectors on and have some one start it and check to see if it has spark.
