fillled her up and tried to start her but she wont
and the lights still work so it aint power
is it because
A- Its been a week and half since see last started and its cold out
B- becuase the exhaust isnt hooked up and a sensor of somekind isnt hooked up to the exhaust
C- because im a jackass and i messed it up
D-because good hates me

Any help would be apretiatted

does it turn over at all? or does it just "click click click"?

power to lights is less power than needed to turn the engine over.

If exhaust isn't hooked up that my play a part too....

thanks for the help\
it sounds like it wants to start really bad
its a horible sound like ive never heard before
with lots of clickin

the Lots of Clicking you are hearing is the selenoid that is clicking due to not enough just in the battery to crank it over.... get a jump or put an overnight charge on that battery and put battery back in an give it a try.. it should crank right over.. the clicking will never get a car to start.....

thanks you very much for your help i will try that

sounds like ur battery just needs more juice. If you had the battery disconnected while you were working on it (which you should have for obvious safety reasons) the car will start up w/out the exhaust/o2 sensors connected. the car will run in closed loop untill u take the thing out and drive it around. it just won't run or idle right w/out the sensor giving a reading and it will throw a check engine light.
