Ok Im having some car problems with my 4 banger. And ive searched! lol Ok THe car cranks and turns on and i drive it with no problem but them when i turn off my car to go to the store or something when i get back the car doesnt want to crank it doesnt make a single beep, I leave it for a while then it turns on. any help would be appreciated thnx.

 

do ny cels come up

 

My guess is that its probably the battery or the battery posts are loose. Check the posts and look for this green or white buildup that looks like cauliflower. If you have that, clean it up good cause that thing is preventing your car from turning on. After you clean it, it should turn back on good. Be sure to tighten the battery posts and keep on checking it about once a month or sooner cause it will probably come back.

 

My sedan does the same i was told it was the ignition switch going out

 

Starter

 

Doesn't make a single beep? As in?

Since you're in CA, I'm assuming you're getting better weather than me. Meaning your main relay is messed up. A warmed up bad main relay will start when the car & especially the interior is cool/cold. After almost any increase in temp, its solder joints don't make enough contact, fuel pump doesn't prime/work, and will just sit & crank.

A bad starter (contacts) will intermittantly not turn the motor over - just click on the solenoid. The short explaination is that they won't make contact when the armature is at a certain position, but will in another. When gets bumped (knock it with a broom handle), it moves the brushes just enough to make a circuit.

 

hey thanx a lot guys, im having the same problem with my hatch it has burned out 2 main relays. the car starts and everything and after a while it jsut shuts down, then i wait a minute or 2 and my car cranks and turns back on weird. I dunno what can be the problem im taking it to the electrical shop tomorrow
any suggestion would be appreciated

 

Let us know what was wrong!

 

If its messing up your main relay's im guessing that the voltage drop on one of the wires that goes to the main relay is too much. You might wanna check how much the voltage drop is. The one that is off specs is probably making a bad connection or something else is taking away voltage.

 

Clean the hell out of your battery terminals. I had that problem with both of my sedans.

 

If you have any more questions there is a lot of good info here.
