Default 88 240 elec/starting truobleshoot

replaced battery after jumping it 3 times in a week. Was given the wrong size battery, and replaced it a second time. Worked fine for 1 day. Now will crank but not fire, even when being jumped.

check ignition switch the electrical part goes bad and you get no power to the coil or instruments.

I was looking under the hood when I should of been looking under the dash. Fuel pump relay got wet due to a leaky seal around a bundle of wires. Guess I didnt need that new battery after all!

fuel pump relays are pretty common items to crap out on these cars.
