It was cold and rainy this morning and I tried to start the s2000. It started, then kinda chugged a little and stalled out. I then tried to start it again and it would try and turn over but nothing. Then it stopped trying to turn over, and now the starter motor just clicks.

I tried to jump start it real quick, but I didn't have much time, so I'm going to try again. Battery seems fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Okay, I went out and tried to jump start it. The clicking went away. Now it tries to turn over but it won't. It will barely start and then die. Sometimes it'll seem like it's running, but the rpm's will be so low you can't tell, then it'll die.

There is some smoke coming out of the tail pipes, it smells normal, but it looks a little brownish gray, not too dark though.

Could something be wrong with the exhaust? Something crawled in the tail pipe? I kicked the mufflers a little but didn't seem like anything was stuffed in them.

Do you have a cold air intake? If so.....did you plug the drain holes?

Need more info on your setup.

"cold and rainy".......sounds like hydrolock?

Sounds like a 5+ year old battery to me.

Almost hydro locked it. There was so much condensation built up in the intake piping, a small puddle formed right on the throttle body in front of the butterfly.

I wiped the throttle body clean and slapped on the stock intake and it fired up right away.

Stupid cai's eh? All this, couple days before I trade it in for a new car! Maybe it doesn't wanna leave me.....

Glad you resolved it.....
