About 2-3 weeks ago, my car died on me. all the lights went out, windows wouldnt roll or anything. i found out that my alternator ripped the belt and i killed the battery. so i replaced it with a brand new batter and put on the belt. seemed to be driving fine, although i had the stalling problems sometimes. usually whenever i stop for 5 minuts at a store, go back to the car, start it drive a few yards and the engine just shuts down. so while the car rolled i started it and we were back in business.
last night, i parked it, get back to it 5 minuts later and it wont start. i got all the lights/wiper/radio working. i keep hearing a clicking sound and i think i hear the feul pump sucking whenver i turn the key, but the car stil lwont start. i tried to use jumper cables to start it, but with not much success.
anyone has some ideas here? im a college studned and i'd like to diagnose/fix it myself.
89 740GL won't start :(

tolik, did you clean battery terminals and could be as simlpe bad ground or a coroded fuse did this ever happen before you replaced the bat?tolik wrote:anyone? :\
does the engine have spark? check this w/a screw driver in the plug wire near a ground sorce about 4-5 mm away from ground. and crank engine. if there is spark then that will eliminate ignition concers (for know)Test wile engine is acting up. Is the car EFI or carb.?? Check all the fuses.
let us know as much as posible. It sounds like a heat related issue and may ned some brain storming. Hope this helps.
