We had the same problem with my wife's Corolla. After replacing the starter - twice - I accidentally realized that it was a bad ground.

Try this (with a good battery); run one half of your jumper cables from the negative terminal of the battery to a clean piece of metal on the engine block. If you can get the car started, the problem was most likely a ground.

We ended up running all new ground wires because I couldn't locate the bad one. The part that really sucked was spending $300 (on a starter) to fix a $10 problem... :banghead:

Good luck!

damn, GROUNDS, the only way you can tell if there bad is if there dirtied correct...and i dont have any jumper cables :(

I'm sure you know someone that has some jumper cables....?

As for them being "dirty"...not neccessarily. I disconnected all the grounds I could find, cleaned them, and it still didn't solve the problem. I ended up just buying new ground wires (3 for $10 @ Wal-Mart), completely replacing 2, and totally relocating 1. That was over a year ago with no problems since...

so the positive goes to a clean piece of metal on the engine block?

how much u want for the scanner?

Noooooooooooooo.... Not unless you want to short out your battery!! If you run half the jumper cables from the negative terminal to the engine block & the car starts, then you'll know that the existing wires (that are connected to your negative terminal) are corroded.

well....after a long days work im back....

so check this out, i took out all my visable grounds and replaced them with the grounds from my project hatch and there was no difference. Getting pissed off i figure i have to do something to hold back this anger(the last time i punched my fender which now needs a big dent repair) so i say screw it and started pulling the dx alternator HOPING, JUST HOPING it would be compatible for fitment in my si. i was iffy on this one as well before a month ago when this problem started i took the basically new alt from my si out and had it tested. it tested a ok. well anyway to make the long story short a 91 dx alternator is compatible with that of a 91 si....so now im back and treading up the streets off a quick thought. thanks for getting the process goin

how much u want for the scanner?

$$20??

phact

How much for the engine harness?

make an offer...

15 bucks....

aight, here's what happened with me. i tried doing the jump start thing, and the car started up real quick. Wait, lemme back up....i took a multimeter and tested my battery, it was 5 volts. we hooked up the battery cable and the car went up to 12 volts(put the positive on the battery and the negative on the block. I started up the car and it started up VERY quick. we tested the battery again while the car was running and it was tested at 13-14 volts.i then turn off the car and try to start it back up, it was making the rrr-rrr-rrr noise then it finally started up. So is this a ground problem?


ps, how much will it cost for you to ship the scanner to area code 06340.

It seem like you may need a new battery the alt is charging but the battery isn't holding the charge.

it's a new battery :rolleyes:

how much for the mounts?

is the head from an SI? if so how much for that and the tail light?

Jus

you either need a new battery or you didnt let the battery charge up enough before you turned it off and tried to start it again

yea, i'm thinking i do need a new battery. For some reason, when i start up the car, the battery holds it's charge at 13 volts, but then when we turn off the car, it slowly loses it's charge and goes back down to 5 volts. Would that mean my battery is trash or is there something draining my battery(which there isnt cuz there isn't anything on...)?
