Any luck?

Turns out it was the connection from the positive lead to the fuse box in the engine compartment. The vehicle starts up and drives. Thank you for all the help!

Sorry for checking back in later. Tugela - I replaced the battery cables because they were very brittle. The negative cable where it was ground against the frame had a lot of corrosion and the positive was very stiff and made some crackling noises when it was moved. Decided to replace them...

100 amp alternator fuse is blown and autozone doesn't carry one that large lol.

Problem: While driving the battery light came on the dash. Drove it to autozone to have the old battery checked. Battery was bad so I purchased a new one. Dropped it into the vehicle and now my car won't start. By not starting I mean nothing on the dash lights up, the fuel pump cannot be heard...

Sold as long as they pay! I will relist the item if it falls through.

I did some deep searching of the forum thank you. Small update: Took the vehicle to an independent repair shop. Had all of the vacuum lines checked and smoke tested. No leaks. They have a proper obd2 that reported a misfire in both banks and now only a lean code. They reported that the O2...

*Update: Early yesterday morning started the car up and I could smell gas. The smell was pretty over powering. I checked everywhere and could not find gas leaking out of any of the fuel lines. The check engine light came back on and the codes were same as before. (p1176, p1179) In the...
