Are you the same guy that posted almost the exact same thread a week ago or so? Regaurdless if you are or not, have you took it out and had it tested? Have you checked the teeth of the starter and the flywheel?

So you are saying it won't start or won't start?

You need to learn terminologies before we can help you.

The car won't crank/spin/turn over/engage starter/ ect?

- OR -

The car won't run/start/fire/ ect?

It obviously sounds like you are referring to the prior. Then again, I am sitting behind a computer screen trying to figure out what in the world you are talking about and assUming things. Thanks for making it hard on everyone.

This is my first post. The car does not start using the key. It does; however, turn over if I push start it. I also tried to connect my battery with jumper cars to another car without any success.

I am not yet a DIY person so I am planning to have my mechanic look at the starter. I was just looking to see if there was something perhaps I can check perhaps for as a loose connector.

thanks,

Could possibly be your clutch safety switch. It is located up under your dash on the top of your clutch pedal. I took the switch out when mine went bad and wired it to a toggle/kill switch.

That or it could be your ignition switch.

same happened to me, could be your ignition. does the car turn on, electrical, just doesnt engage starter? could be a pin or something. look in my posted topics and your see my post where someone helped me

You could try running a hot wire straight to the starter. this would elliminate the starter relay. if its pop starting your ignition switch/relay should be fine.

This is the best thing you can do. A forum can only do so much, and if you have little / no mechanical experience, we are limited in what we can can help you with.

Even I still do not know 100% what your car is doing, mostly because of your terminology.

The bolded part here is what confuses me. The term "turn over" is used to say the engine turns, but does not fire. So if you push the car, and it just "turns over", you have a miriad of possible problems.

If you can not start the car with the key, but you can push start it, and it continues to run, then your issue lies somewhere in the ignition. Now, if you can turn the key, and the starter spins, but the engine does nothing, your issue is in the starter. If you turn the key and the starter does nothing, your issue is either wiring, relay, or safety switch.
