Drove the car a bunch yesterday and a couple times when I went to start the car I turned the key and nothing. Then after like 3-4 times it just started. At the end of the day came out from a resturaunt and the would not start no matter what so I ended up rolling it and compression starting it which worked.


Car is a Turbo LS and when you turn the key fuel pump comes on and every thing but battery shows no signs of being low you just get nothing. Doesnt even attempt to turn over.


Any ideas?

starter, if your battery is good and push starting works, then your obviously getting fuel/air/power. Try tapping starter, or changing it completely

Check starter switch at top of clutch pedal.

Yea this was kinda what I was thinking I would take a look at first. If it was the starter usually the solenoid will just click and I rebuild the solenoid about 3 years ago when I first got the car.


I know some times people have main relay trouble when it gets warm, If it was the main relay would the fuel pump kick over? or wou;d you be able to push start it?

The main relay has nothing to do with starter. And the main relay is fine because the pump is priming.

Just incase any one comes across this the starter signal wire had come off. It looked like it was still connected but it had come loose and the plastic cap that covers it was still on the starter
