    Take the battery to a parts store and have them load test it... I bet its bad. You really don't know how old it is or if it ever was excessively discharged in that time.

    . Install a new battery. Have the auto parts store charge it before installation--it will save your alternator, which is a battery maintainer, not a charger.

    . Clean the battery terminals and cable connections.

'97 toyota tercel won't start it turns the motor over but doesn't want to start? [ 3 Answers ]

I have checked fuel pump and changed spark plugs. I have know idea why it won't start or is hard to get started. When it does finally start it runs great so I think that would rule out the timing belt. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it.
