This is a tough one, I went out of town and didn't had chance to start my 95 max for 3 weeks.
Today I tried to start it, there was no spark.
I noticed that very low illumination on dash lights alomost as if there is no voltage in battery chamber. But battery is perfectly fine. I even tried jump starting but no use.
I also noticed that radiator was bone dry, it was definately full when I left.

I know that there is AT ground connection, which if break will prevent car from starting, can any one please tell me the location of transmission ground.

Any other suggestion is really appreciated. Car had a code of 0505 for couple of weeks.

 

my 92 did this. i called AMA, and he put it into neutral with the car NOT started and rocked it back and forth a few times and it started. he said its just something with a wire and unless it gives constant problems, dont bother fixing it. this was last summer and it hasnt needed rocking til a month ago when it did it again. hasnt done it since

if going into neutral (dont go into neutral on a hill. lol) and rocking it doesnt help, im not sure whats up

 

First of all, code "0505" is code for NOTHING WRONG. Thats a good thing.

How do you know what you car isnt starting because of no spark?

If your lights are very dim on the car when you try to start it, chances are your battery it dead, and you didnt boost it properly when you tried. After 3 weeks the battery can get weak enough to cause a " no start" issue.

An empty rad wont prevent the car from starting....but that is also a problem that you should look into.

I say try boosting it again....make sure that you get a PROPER connection between the two cars when you're doing it.

 

Thankyou so much. Appreciate your replies.
I will change battery first thing tomorrow and update you.
TLMNICK : 0505 is IACV code taken from ODB-II reader, I think 0505 on direct ecu read means no code.

 

Interesting....you never specified that you used an OBD-II reader.
Hopfully its just the battery...but the IACV is important to how the car runs too. It just wont affect the way it cranks.

 

Good luck bro!

 

I replaced battery with a new one, still no luck. Worst thing is now no lights are coming, turning key to on does not even bring up dash lights!!!

 

could it be that your battery connectors are too corroded to make a decent connection?
try dipping them in coca-cola, the acid should clean them, also what does it sound like when you turn the key, does the engine try to crank? or does it click? or is it just one single click and then nothing?

 

your issue is not with the radiator as far as no start but you should top it off and check your hoses for a leak and if the hoses are fine then check the radiator itself . did you ever do a coolant change yourself ?? if so did you put the drain plug in correctly? just throwing things out there . if you havent then do as stated obove ^ . as far as not starty your old battery had minium power but not enough to crank .. then you put a new one on and it does nothing at all .... well we know that its not the new battery so next is the neg and pos terminals do they have the powdery white stuff on them ? if so clean them off . they sell terminal cleaners at places like pep boys etc.. but dont buy the stuff that says it prevevnts the acid from coming back cause it only seems to make more come back and even faster.
