Re: 97 LeSabre wouldn't start during/after blizzard

Thank you for the quick replies!

Today I checked the battery cables, the positive one was a bit loose (possibly from the tow though?) I cleaned the terminals & reattached the cables. I also added 5 gal. of gas, & was able to borrow a fuel pressure gauge. The reading came up as 45 psi.. which is normal, according to the Haynes repair manual that is. I also recharged the battery for a good 40 minutes, as it was pretty well drained. Turns over with no problem now, but still won't start.. so I'm guessing it might be the fuel pump? Although I can still hear it prime, and the fuel pressure is average. I saw when searching yesterday, before posting, that sometimes the crankshaft sensor could be the cause of a no-start.. but would it quit at random?

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it!

Forgot to mention.. I didn't have another person around today to help with checking for a spark, so I'll follow up on the results of that. Also, imidazol97, sorry- Yes I did mean 20 below 0 degrees when I said that.
