Car had not been started for 1-2 weeks (maybe a battery issue?)
When running jumper cables, car DOES NOT turn, but clicks on and off
I re-soldered the RCM thinking it was that
I recently just replaced my crank shaft position sensor as well
What could it be guys? I need some help here. My baby cross is waitin to be driven'
Any help is appreciated!
Valve Cover left open is only a bad thing if you dropped something down there and was unaware...
The Crank sensors will not show themselves as the issue of "No engine turnover, only a Click".
The RCM will usually show itself as all electrics/displays will come on, but No crank of engine.
I would pull the Battery cables and make sure they are Clean and Tight with no corrosion. Re-assemble and try another jump.
No luck, I would look at the Starter connections for the same (clean and tight).
Also check all ground connects, that bolt to the body (like the Neg batt cable).
I'm sure others will chime in with other comments...
