I think you forgot the link.
That will work just fine.
As an added bonus you can cook hot dogs on it while testing.

It's not worth buying a tester when you can take it in and get it done at the store...I don't even have one of those!!! It can be a bad battery but they either work or they don't...which is why I'd go after the starter...you can have your meter hooked up and try the starter...if the volts hit below 7 or 8 then it's fried...or the starter has to much load like bad contacts...really gotta figure out where the load stops...I wouldn't worry about the coolant...just top it off and keep an eye on it...see that the coolant is up to the top of the rad cap too when cold.

take the connections off the battery...clean them and the battery posts, re-attach the cables and tighten them down good.
Classic symptoms of loose/dirty battery cables.

@ onemanarmy
@ LittleCaesar
@ WWRD99
I checked the connection posts and collars and they’re clean with no corrosion. I picked up the load tester and got 200 cold cranking amps. From what I’m reading that’s not enough to start the vehicle. Will that change if I take it to be recharged or is it toast and I need a new one? I also tried to start the car again after the test. No clicking, no turnover, no nothing.
If toast, what do you guys recommend as replacement? Thanks so much with help with all
this.

The battery has to be fully charged in order to test it.

Have you replaced the battery yet?? I don't get online much, I use the battery from Toyota, I got mine on sale a few months ago for 85 I think...That's all I buy.

I am also having a no start issue with my 97, it will crank, and if I use starter fluid it will start and die. I swapped the efi and fuel pump relay with the tail light relay (same part number) with no luck. It drove fine yesterday and when I went out to start it this morning it would just crank. No codes or pending codes
Really sorry for the thread highjack but I don’t have enough posts to start my own and I’m really in need of some assistance

I'd rule out fuel pump, next:

From 2002, but should be the same.

Hi OP,
Hopefully you have solved your problem by now. I too had that "whirring" noise. I few weeks after I initially heard the noise my car would not start. The problem turned out to be the starter. I replaced the started and haven't had any issues turning my car on since.

Don't take it personally, they just die. And it sure sounds like yours did.

I recently replaced starter finding longggg crank time present last few days.
My first thought was fuel pump going bad , to my surprise Anti Theft System was causing issue.
Today , Thanks to dead Fob battery I stopped using & crank time was cut in half.
Experts , feel free to chime in how ATS would cause such issue.
Maybe fuel pump relay tied into it?
