LET THE HEADACHES BEGIN, I NEED HELP.

Post by Hatemy7 »

Well I got the car to my buddies house ( corolla 86 )

Now she doesnt want to turn on, its something electrical, I dont even hear the fuel pump kick in at all.

I even purchased some fuses and nothing.

The car does have a wire tuck which makes it harder for me.

what do you guys guys think it can be

here is the car that i have and pics of the engine bay.

thank you once again.

I'd start there... ditch that broken terminal, get a lead free one from AutoZone or O'Reilly and clean that area up as well. And invest in a battery hold down. You don't want it welding itself to the hood.

and while you're at it check the Circuit Open Relay. It's right next to the door buzzer up and to the right of the glove box. Pull the glove box down, it's a square blue box off to the right.

Also check the harness between the distributor and the fuse block: there's a single 16-18 gauge black wire with a green connector IIRC. Make sure it isn't broken or disconnected. Make certain it is grounded.
