To clarify - are you saying it does not crank, or does not start ?
lt sounds like you are saying the engine will crank but not start, but then why would you need to jump the battery if that were true ?
If it cranks but does not start, have you checked fuel pressure with a gauge before and after cranking ? The fuel pressure could be low after sitting for a few hours if the check valve in the fuel pump is faulty.
If it did not start and die when you used starting fluid then check to see if the plugs are getting spark. Check to see if injectors are pulsing. Could be bad crank sensor. Need scanner to check further
OK, if the battery is dead, that may be expected for an older battery that sits for 3 months without charging.
I would try a new battery that has been charged up, and make sure the contacts at the sidemount are clean and shiny, and if not, brush with a wire brush until they appear clean.
On a 2000 Deville, it would not surprise me if the battery was older than 3 years, which is the average life expectency of a battery, based on my experience at Sears Roebuck & Co. as a battery installer.
new cars have a lot of things running in the back ground, you can hook and AMP meter on the battery and see how much it pulls just sitting there, then one by one unplug fuses and see if maybe a relay has welded its self closed and drawing more current then it should in the off postion. if possible hook a battery tender to your car and plug it in, it will keep a small amount of current going to the battery and should keep the battery charged.
You have a new battery and it cranks. Turning over is cranking. You are saying it won't start after sitting for six months? What is an old mechanic? Was the cable installed at home during the one year layoff? It sounds as though you failed to hold the old mechanic responsible for installing the correct cable or adjusting the one you have ,so it will start. You have a safety switch issue by the sound of it. Make sure you have the right cable and then find out how to install and if applicable,adjust properly
MINI owner's manual warns against leaving the car sitting for long periods of time without disconnecting the battery. IIRC, you will have to have the remote "reprogrammed", as the memory for the remote function is reset from lack of power.
how would i do that
i never had an alarm system.
