So like my previous topic my 1997 will not start i bought a new solenoid didnt work bought a new starter didnt work. When i try to turn it over it clicks and power is lost but is then restored. Also the battery terminals get REALLY hot in a split second. My brother said the flywheel could be frozen. Any ideas? Im in diar need to get this thing fixed.
If it's a '97 4.2L it could be a hydro-locked engine with coolant in a cylinder. Hopefully this is not the problem, because the engine is already trashed.
If they're the factory battery terminals, cut them off and buy the heavy duty ones from Wal-mart or any auto parts store. This happened to me and that's what I did and haven't had the problem since
To try and start it i was using my car battery quite smaller then the original. My uncle tryed to charge the original but it wouldnt hold a charged and dropped to 5 volts upon turning it over. could the smaller battery make it not start?
