So I go home and decide to disconnect the battery and reset the code. Had the battery disconnected for a half hour and I reattach everything and the car will not start. I went and bought a new battery as the car was still on stock and it had corrosion issues so why not get a new one. Hook it up and same problem it wont start. All the lights on the dash flicker when trying to ignite the motor as it it makes click noises. I had the CPS replaced a few weeks prior as that went bad. I am completely lost and cant think of what the issue is. Can anyone here give me some guidance on what I should look at before I get it sent off to get it looked at?
new battery? proper (read high) cca? cable ends and battery terminals wire brush clean? these cars are unforgiving if the basics aren't checked first.
