I have replaced distributor system and got a new battery. Two days later it would not start or even turn over. Even with all the new stuff. Where is the pin for my car?

Hey ALBERT,

Is the security light blinking when you try to start the car?

Best, Ken

Does the engine crank over or do all lights go out? If so it sound like you have a bad battery or connection. Here is a guide to help us:

Please run down this guide and report back.
