Like the topic says, anytime my R stalls, i cant get it started back without push starting it? What could the problem be, so i can check it out...any ideas because it is getting annoying, could it be something with my battery, its relocated, to the trunk. Lemme kno so i can deal with this soon, thanks guys

 

Why is the car stalling in the first place? How old is the battery?

 

I agree with mike, determine what is causing it to stall first and go from there with it. As a long shot guess maybe either the main relay or fuel pump?

 

well those r two ideas, but the car is stalling because of the driver, cuz the other day i made a friend of mine reverse the car so i could see something, and when he was through driving, the car was in gear but he jus came off the clutch thinking it was in neutral again, and it stalled, but then when i tried starting it it couldnt...then i decided to make him push, and i got it started?? and today i made the car stall on purpose and it still does it, so i want to fix this cuz it aint normal for sure

So what your saying is the car runs fine until "driver error" stalls it and once the car stalls then you can't restart the car?

 

yea exactly

 

was there any engine work done lately?
loose ground connection may casue the only push start problem.

 

I agree with six speed on the loose ground. Check the starter connections and the remainding grounds as that should be your problem. hope all works out.

well ill check out the starter connections etc...and let u kno

 

i'd test the battery and make sure the connector on the starter didn't fall off.

but on a similar note, my brother's nissan pickup was always fine, until you stalled it out.. then it wouldn't start. new battery fixed it.

 

my car was doing the same thing... turned out the wires leading to the starter were loose

thanks alot guys for all the helpful responses, im gonna check out the starter wires, and if they're in tact, then ill just buy a new battery and install it see what happens.

 

Do you hear the starter engaging?
does the motor try to kick over?

 

check all the stock ground connctions. i have a feeling your tranny to chasis ground is loose since you had tranny work. it then leads to an only push starting solution, since the ground wire is moving around and only making contact once the car is in motion.

 

check all your connections like everyone else has been telling you. Could be a lose ground with is the most probable reason for this cause. If this checks out and all your grounds are good and all your sensors are intack check your computer

 

aight well im gettin off of work in about a hour so ill check out the stock grounding.

yea the starter is engaging and u can hear the motor try to kick over. u hear the starter then it jus dies out, nothin....and i try it over and over same thing.

 

Could it be the Ring gear on either the starter or FW? Or maybe it's just the starter going bad.
