Did you check the voltage in the battery in the engine bay? You said you purchased a battery, but which one? Better off to get two new batteries at once than deal with this a few months later. Also did you install your alternator yet?

Go to user "mackhack" in San Diego to get your fault codes read.
Then you know, what's the problem with your car.


Changing battery doesn't make these problems.
After changing the battery your car should start normally!

This, if the battery is low you will get the tick, tick you are talking about, and not be able to turn over the car.

That fault would not keep the vehicle from starting. Have you checked for fuel pressure, or spark?

It's not uncommon to get a funky code like this when you have battery or alternator issues. Check the things that everyone else in this thread mentioned.

Sound like you crankshaft sensor ist dead.
If it is not working correctly, but is connected to ECU, the problem you have ca be the root cause.

Get a new battery or better yet get your battery fully charged out of the car at a local auto parts store

Should have checked/changed the battery FIRST? I think a few people mentioned this, and you haven't indicated that you did anything with it??

These cars have a lot of electronics, and you NEED GOOD batteries.

Same thing happened to me after my front battery slowly started dying. I had my car flat bedded to my indy and 1 hour after it arrived he asked why I had delivered my car to him because he could find nothing wrong as it started the first time. A few months down the line we were messing around with the ECU, trying to turn off my secondary air injection pump. We went into the throttle position menu by accident and found that the throttle was only operating at 90%, which makes sense because we suspected this was the original 'not starting' problem after replacing the CPS had no effect. Glad you got it sorted and it wasn't anything major.
