Default starting problem...

Whenever I go to start my car, nothing happens. The engine won't turn. The starter was replaced about 3 months ago and I even hit on that to see if that was the problem but no luck. Anybody have any suggestions to get the thing started?

Engine wont turn eh?

Try your battery, check your plugs/wires

make sure your dizzy is okay and hasn't been flipped around or anything.

I'm betting on the battery though.

Don't think its the battery, the stereo, lights, everything will turn on but the engine won't turn.

I also had problems with the fuel system earlier in the week... i think. The car was trying to start but wouldn't. So i replaced the coil... that wasn't it. So when i would try to start it if i gave it a little gas it would start. And now it won't do anything.

That doesnt mean jack, you're battery may not have enough amperage to turn the crank. Turning the crank requires much more powertha your radio and lights.

Giving a fuel injected car gas to get it to start won't do anything.

Lemme get this straight, you replaced the coil in the alternator for a fuel problem?

Have you taken it to autozone to get your starter and battery tested?

Have you checked for spark? Is your fuel pump priming?

Well I didn't know it was a fuel problem at first, so i replaced the coil. Should I try to jumpstart the car? The fuel pump is priming...

Yes, the first thing I would do when my car doesn't start is check the battery or try to jump start it.

&lt; me

How are you so positive over the internet? It could be the solenoid or 60 other things.

IMO I would rule out the solenoid on a new starter.
