Hey guys,

This is my first post here on the nico forums. I drive a 94 q45, I've been driving my q45 for about 5 months now and just a few days ago I parked it onto my driveway and didn't drive it for a few days due to the road conditions. I tried to start my car a couple days ago and my car wont start.

The car cranks and occasionally jumps in rpm when I start it but I cannot get it to completely start. My battery is starting to die due to over cranking the car. So I got a boost and even with multiple tries my car will not start.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be?

Thanks,

First, properly recharge the battery COMPLETELY using a battery charger. After battery is COMPLETELY recharged, press and hold accelerator pedal all the way to the floor BEFORE and during attempting to strart car for no more than 15-20 seconds- if still will not start, it is time to check the basics.......is it getting fuel? {clogged filter, dead pump or controller} is it getting spark? is it getting air?

Qship is saying that your engine may be flooded and holding the pedal to the floor cuts off the flow of fuel while the engine cranks. You do need to recharge your battery first.
