car unable to start

[slipnslide240sx]

hey i finally got the car turboed and was runing fine, so one day i was driving and the car shut off and wouldn't start when i put the key all the way to the ingnition with out starting it this noise started coming out from the middle console right under the middle glove compartment. i think it coming from the gold box under it. when i open the door that noise started click and my passive seat belt was going back but real slow. every time it click the seat belt moved. it seemed like the battery was weak so i got a jump and the click stoped the car seat belt moved normally but when i tried starting it it would crank for not even 1 second and die. this is still while being jumped. now this happend twice the first time after an hour it started fine. i come to find out that the car had a boost leak so i fixed it and on the second time the car had a boost leak too.any one have this problem?

Either oyu have a loose ground/power. Bad ignition where the starter is getting signal, or starter is bad. Being all electronics are affected I'd go with a poor connection somewhere. What is your battery voltage? When "jumped" off another vehicle how do your electronics act? Check for loose wires/corroded.

when being jumped the car acts normally but wont crank still

Battery needs to be charged/replaced, also check your alternator and see if it's working once the car is running.

Ummm.......... Being setback and not having enough money for a wideband after buying a battery while having your engine turbo'd is probably the worest finanical position you could ever be in. What if your engine takes a ****? You will be set back a VERY long time. Usually when people talk to me about boosting their cars, I ALWAYS tell them to have ATLEAST $1K backup money after everything is all said and done with to fall back on incase of a emergency.

Figures, this kid is 17...

I am not hating on your age, I am hating on your inexperience. At 17, you shouldn't have a money pit ( turbo car ) like you do unless you have a real good job and can afford it.

your right but can't stop now. too late to turn back. really thinking of selling this thing though. its the love of cars that keeps me in it
