very odd...i just bought a 720cca 75ahr aha battery..going to install tomorrow i cant see what the issue is with your battery unless its flat..did you place in the old one and try jump starting the car?

[DONUT69]

Aye tryed that and the car still wont start.

Its a brand new battery the charge on its fine.

New dizzy and arm coming if that dont fix it then there will be a lot off head scratching done.

Just wondering if the toad immboliser has anything to do with it. Being disconnected from power for so long has sent it crazy.
