98 csvt WONT START! (ERRRRRR)

[Jeffro941]

PLEASE HELP!!! my 98 csvt wont start. i just got the Trubendz with the borla muffler. and yesterday i saw that it was leaking right above the muffler to where it goes back to stock so i took it off and tried to fix it. well when i got done i went to start it it didnt start. all it would do is "ERRRRRRRR" when i would turn the key.later that night after i got off work i went to try it again and n it went ERR so i stoped then tried again it went ERR again. and then it started up ... so i took it for a drive got back home and turned it off and went to start it back up again and it just keep going "ERRRR" every time i tried to start it.
so now today i went out there and tried to jump my car but that didnt do anything. i also checked all of my fuses under my hood. all of them are good. it just keeps going ERRR when i turn the key.
PLEASE HELP! im thinking mabey its my alternator? 02 sensor? battery? (my battery has some crarozon)
ANOTHER THING .. ITS VERY COLD HERE IN DELAWARE. FREEZING WEATHER. i dont know if that has anything to do with it. ...

THank you for your time! i really need help

I'm gonna say battery since you say it might have corrosion. A little spray and some brushing should clean it right up. You didnt leave the stereo on while working on the car did you?

na i didnt leave the raido on. i been asking some people what they might think it is. and like 2 people said it might be the "Starter" ... i dont know. like when i turn the key all of my lights come on and everything and the radio also comes on.. its just instead of starting it goes errrrr.. :help:I dont know. im going to go buy a new battery and if that dont work then i guess i have to take it to the shop to look at it. but i know they are gonna say a bunch of stuff is wrong and charge me an arm and a leg. ...

PLEASE ALL ADVICE ..
thanks, jeff


I also did the ob11 test thing. and it didnt spit out any codes so i dont think its the 02 sensor. what do u think?

I've had my CSVT for two years when April 09 hits, and I've lived in Delaware since those two years and mine sits outside everyday and i start it up fine in the morning at 630am.

Whereabout in DE are you? PM me, i might be able to swing by if your close enough to me.

the noise your describing is prob the starter. Is it a high pitched metallic sound like gears grinding etc??? If it is then it sounds like a starter issue to me.
