Well, I haven't driven my car in a while and finally when I do, I take it for a 40 min drive and I leave it there over night. The day after, my alarm acts up. It acts as if it's dying. Sounds really low and slow. I kept on trying to unarm, etc, and finally somehow, it unarmed itself and I was able to start the car.

I drive home and the next day it happens again. Only this time, the car won't start. Battery is good and the fuel pump primes. But when I turn the key, I hear nothing as if the battery was dead. No crank, no nothing.

So I thought my alarm might have acted up in the heat so I removed the whole alarm unit. Still, it doesn't crank or start. I hear the fuel pump and everything else works, but the car doesn't want to crank.

What could be wrong?

-Thanks in advance.

Your car won't start.

When you say the battery is good, what do you mean exactly? Is it fully charged when the car is off? (I assume it is, just getting the obvious out of the way). From the alarm acting the way it did and the car not starting, it sounds like there might be a corroded or loose connection somewhere in the ignition system. If the car has been sitting for a while like that this could happen pretty easily. When you started the car for the first time after it had been sitting did it start okay then? Was the alarm acting wierd then?

 

Found out it was the starter. I gave it a little love tap w/ my hammer... and there it went..

-Thanks.

 

Have you checked for spark?
