So the starter won't turn (crank) the engine with the key in ON(III)/START?

Can you push start it, assuming it's manual?

wongdang

yea it wont crank and yea when i push to start it turns on so i dnt really know what it could be

Former User

Sounds like the little rubber stopper that presses on the starter switch at the top of the clutch pedal has broken and fallen out.

i checked it and it was still there

Do you have cruise control?

Bypass the switch and see if it starts...

You have full power right? As in the alternator is charging when running...

i took off my cruise control.....and how do you by pass it and what switch and when i push to start yes

Jump the two wire connector with a paper clip (clutch interlock switch)

Former User

Make sure you are checking the rubber stopper for the top starter switch rather than the stopper for the lower cc switch on the clutch pedal. See Hero's diagrams.

ok illtry that....but i forgot to mention that every time i turn the key i hear a click idk if that matters

From the starter solenoid?

austinkli

when you say you changed the distributor, did you change the whole distributor or just the cap?

austinkli

but it really does sound like that clutch switch

wongdang

yea from the starter and i changed the whole distributor

1) Unplug the solenoid wire at the starter and have a buddy hold the key in ON(III)/Start while you measure voltage to body ground at the unplugged connector.

2) With the key off, measure voltage to body ground at the large wire for the starter motor.

Post the voltages.

10.7 and 5.7 and can the flasher relay have anything to do with this

What's the voltage across the two battery posts? Based on your voltage readings, one problem may be that your battery is dead.

I already took it to autozone and they tested it twice and it came out good. I also noyiced my fuse was popped for the hazard, I tried a 10a and it blows it right away, I then tried a 30a and it heated up, do you guys think a short with my lights or something similar would cause a no start? thanks.

Stay on topic. What's the voltage across your 2 battery posts?
