Hi,

A video would be great. As far as charging the battery, here is a link you may find helpful:

I'm about to lose it. New battery fully charged discharged completely when I tried to do spark test. Not even a click. I don't want to give up, concede that she's just a pile of junk I should have let the crushed have. What do we do now?

Hi, Michelle.

Hang in there. We're not ready for the crusher yet. LOL We'll get it figured out. When you say the battery discharged completely, did you even have the opportunity to check for spark or did it shut off as soon as it was installed, and you tried using it? Are you sure the battery is good?

Let me know.

Joe

Thanks Joe,

I got to the end of one one thousand, that was that. Of course, the person helping me noticed big chest jogging at same time so don't know if it sparked. Then nothing. No click, dash went black. Battery less than a month old with 5-year warranty. Wouldn't take jump and all day on trickle. Still registering 0%. Even changed to new charger and nothing. There is so much riding on getting her going.

Michelle,

When this happens, take a voltmeter or a multimeter to see if the battery is at 0v. If it is, replace it.

What you described sounds like a bad connection. Please take a look through this link:

https://www.2carpros.com/articles/everything-goes-dead-when-engine-is-cranked

The reason I'm questioning a connection is this. If the battery is good and it drains that fast, you would see something smoking. There aren't any wires on the vehicle that could drain it that fast without overheating.

In addition to the link, check the connections at the starter. I really want to help you get this going. Let me know as much as you can.

Is it still draining the battery as quickly as before? If possible, could you record what it does so I can see and hear things?

Hi,

I think you have a broken timing belt, but it's very hard to hear. Please have someone crank the engine while you record close to the engine so I can better hear it. I can tell if that is the issue based on sound.

Let me know.

Okay, if it is the timing belt, what is book time for an amateur with basic tool set?

Professional time from all data is 4.0 hours. Figure double that for a driveway repair.
Luckily that engine is not an interference engine, so there should not be any valve or internal engine damage.
Below is the procedure.

Hi again, weather hasn't cooperated. Going to work on it some more today. Thanks for the timing belt info. Was going to check for spark again with help. Need to replace plugs, if I can get them out. Last change was four years ago according to last owner's receipts. Maybe today will go better.

Hi,

If possible, record it cranking so I can hear it. I should be able to tell if it is a timing issue. Also, let me know about spark or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
