1996 Camry not starting

My camry would not start today. car has 86000 miles on it.

Battery seems to work as the engine cranks and dash lights come on, electric windows work - so not the battery I think.
Just replace the solenoid contacts - 3 months ago so elimiate the solenoid I think??

However loud noise from the engine, engine shares do not crank?
Spark plug issue?

Can this loud noise come from a broken belt?

Pls advise.

Please explain this statement in more detail:

I think engine is trying to crank but cannot. could this be the battery?

Yes, it could be the battery. It could also be alot of things. What type of loud noise do you hear? A click? Bang?

Since I cannot see or hear your car, your description is all I have to work with. If I get poor or wrong information from you, it may cost you money.

it was indeed the battery, thanks for the feedback.

To whom it concerns,

when a batterys voltage is low and/or the battery dies their are many reasons this happens. :uhoh:

#1 the battery could be real old and at the end of it's useful life.

#2 it could have/develop a bad cell in it therefore wouldn't hold a charge.

#3 it could be low on water therefore it wont charge up very well/won't hold a charge.

#4 the altenator may not be putting out the correct voltage to keep the battery properly charged.

Just something to think about ( #3 and #4 ) before going out and buying a new battery to replace the dead one :2cents:

You're welcome - I hope you didn't waste your money...
