18 year old newbie here, dont laugh if I ask a stupid question. ok, i put my car away in a heated garage in November. I just put in an NX nitrous kit a week earlier. A few days after I put it away car wont start (I missed it ). I took the battery out and recently my dad took it to get charged. Went to start it tonight and it wont start. I have battery power and the starter whines, but it wont fire up.
Why is this? Is it not getting any fuel?

Did I drain the battery by hooking the red wire up to the positive terminal during the nitrous install?

Any input is appreciated.

 

let it turn a few times

if its a wet kit, make sure u didn't mess up te fuel lines

 

Hey I live over in a small town just east of Portage. Anyways here is a couple quick checks you can do!
1st check is easy, spark!!!

1). pull a spark plug out, or just use a good one you have laying around, hook it back to the spark plug wire, hold it to a good ground (like the exhaust manifold) have someone crank the engine while you hold it tight to ground (with a glove on he he) and see if you got a nice blue spark! If you do, its not the ignition. You can also use a timing light, clip it on and see if the light flashes bright while cranking.

2). Fuel, LT1's have a schrader valve (like your valve stem on your tires, except for fuel). You need a fuel pressure gauge that hase a schrader valve connector on it (cheap, Farm& fleet around $10-$15) screw it on the schrader valve that is on your fuel rail, crank engine over and you should have like 30 -50 PSI (have to look in y service manual, but 30-50 PSI is close) Its cold here in WI right now, I just had a problem with a truck that was sitting for 3 days and it had moisture in the gas, yup froze! had to thaw it out. Dump some heat in there if its cold where you have it sitting.
let me know how these check out.

What town do you live in? I live near Windsor and Deforest. I dont have time to try anything with it until this weekend but ill let ya know how things turn out.

 

Man I am only 20 minutes north of you! If you need help, maybe I could stop over this weekend, I am a certified auto mechanic, but work on those Noisy jets you hear, the F-16's. Anyways I am putting a fresh stageIII 4L60E race tranny in my 1996 LT1 Powered S-10 truck right now and will need to test drive it hehe maybe I can stop in when I do this if you need help, I have the correct pressure gauge. I also own a part time hot rod/custom auto shop in Portage, I have a new painting facility going up with a new down draft booth too. But me and my oldest son just do some custom work on the side there. I have Auto Tap on my laptop, and the Factory Service Manuals for our 96'S so we can see what is wrong too!
