Make sure battery has a full charge and battery connections all good, on both ends, not just at the battery. I looked at info for 4 cylinder engine. You can see the two fuses, not only check the fuses, use a test light and check voltage at fuse circuit. The main fuse is hot all the time. The starter fuse goes hot with key in start position, so you need a helper to turn the key while you check for voltage at the fuse. At the starter motor, two voltage circuits, one comes from the battery, hot all the time. The other circuit goes hot with key in the start position and is wired through clutch switch and starter relay. The starter motor grounds through the engine block. If good voltage and ground circuits at the starter motor and no action, have to check starter motor and make sure the engine isn't seized. Any testing at starter motor, make sure tranny is in park or neutral and parking brake is set.
I would check the cable connections depends how the lights were wired into the circuit there may have been either a live or a neutral connected straight into the battery which came off on disconnecting the battery terminals or one of the cables may have been disconnected on removing the battery for replacement I hope this helps
There is a four way plug on transmission ,unplug it. The over drive in that model is actually a lock up converter.The converter is bad.
check your turn signal flasher and replace all bulbs turn signal bulbs.
Not the clutch assembly, but the start safety switch on the clutch pedal. The contacts could be corroded or just need be pushed onto the clip better to lock it on. I'd just unplug the thing from the connection and clop the two wires together to be sure that the problem is no longer a problem. Nonetheless, there is where your problem arises, from the start safety switch on the clutch pedal.
IAC - idle air control valve . What are the fuel trims at ? Are they with in + or - 10% short term an long fuel trims ? Do you know what fuel trims are ? What's the IAC counts at looking at scan tool data ? Or are you just guessing to find a fix ?
007 Idle Speed Problems Scan Data for Idle
Hooking up a professional type scan tool an viewing scan data is the proper way to diagnose these type problems . Your dealing with a computer .
have you checked for a broken timing belt /chain
what about faulty cam shaft position sensors
it would be a champion idea to run the fault codes before wasting money changing what is not faulty
auto or stick shift transmission?
correlation is not always causation.!!!
example: if I open the glove box, and the engine stalls, It probably is not the glove box lamp doing that.
The 97 cars have very few learn modes.
in fact, none kill engines dead, ever.
the trouble with your post is it says nothing useful. sorry.
1: cranks robustly but will not start?
2: will not crank, or just clicks, or the starter motor is silent.?
the starter can also chatter, or free run, spin fast but engine not.
if it wont crank ,
jump start it, if it will not cranks still , crank in NEUTRAL.
PRNDL move lever to N per the steps in the operators guide.
3: cranks ok, there are 50 reasons for that.
if your car reads statistics, the spark plugs are bad, ignored.
do say this time what the engine did. exactly , you did not.
4: cranks ok , do so with wide open throttle to clear floods
this is secret mode in the op. guide that cuts off the fuel injectors.
V6, 3.1., 3.2 , 3.5Liter?
no engine stated of the 4.
same as all cars, watch 1000 do it on youtube yet>?
1: drain coolant.
2: remove battery neg lug, first. so someone dont start it or you
accidentally short out say alternator wires.etc.
3: remove hose clamps and separate hoses, from rad.
4: remove all things from rad, that is attached, say, shroud's, elect fans, et cetra.
5: the rad has clamps or bolts holding it down, off them.
6: lift it out.
on all cars mostly the only hard parts can be getting the shroud to not fight you.
some cars this old are modified, so no photo's no exact answers.
with fan mods.
no engine stated, and this varies by ,, engine.the belts , if new , screech for only 2 reasons1: loose (or oil soaked, watch a guy last weak oil it to stop this)sad.2: or the accessory its driving is seized.id bet the cogged, timing belt will never screech, its idler might.did you inspect all parts as you asssembled the engine.no engine stated, so be hard for the blind to answer with savvy,accurate answers, no?ACCESSORY belts are tension'ed, 3 ways. (3 classes of systems)1; manual tension. means you sit it to spec.2: auto tension'ers 3: some look like auto type and are not.... the book for your engine tells all this.the cam belt as special tension'g steps, did you follow those.we cant guess what you did wrong.nor if you even followed all steps.below is technician loosing the auto tensionerif the tensioner feels weak or bad, it is.my guess, (useless) is that the cam belt is okbut you skipped the accessory belts tension steps.if it didnt screech before.
