94 Sl 500

Hi all,

I'm needing help on my SL500, the battery died this past weekend, so I went ahead and plugged in a battery charger for the entire day. Saw that the battery was fully charged I hooked up the battery cables and tried starting the car, it would crank but not start, I first thought it was a fuel cut off feature. So I phoned CODE ALARM and they advise that none of their products use a fuel cutt off, instead they use a starter dis-able. With that in mind, that ruled out the alarm system. I left the battery disconnected over night, and this morning I connected the battery, and the car started right up.

I brought the car to work and used it to run some errands and it gave me no problems.

During lunch, I decide to take a drive, tried starting the car but again it will crank but no start.

I'm confused and with a head ache


Any help would be great.

Thanks

GP

GP, it would help to know the mileage on your 94 SL500, plus the age of the battery, last time you changed plugs/rotors/distributor caps/ignition wires and voltage regulator.

Have you checked your alternator? It could have died and not charging your battery, hence not enough juice to trun the engine over.
