The car doesnt start... the fuel pump turns on ... no crank . Its not the battery..
pretty sure its the starter, could it be anything else??

 

Listen to the starter while someone attempts to crank it. If you hear it click, you know that the solenoid it good.

There should be a small wire going to the starter. When the key is in the "start" position, you should see 12v.

The big wire going into the starter should always read 12v.

If those two are OK, then it's a ground problem. Since the starter grounds through the block, put the key in the start position, and see if you get any voltage on the block. If you do, then make sure the block is properly grounded to the chassis.

If all those are OK, it's a bad starter I guess...

 

Thanks guys.. I know the block is properly grounded . i guess i'll try it later when i get a voltage meter and someone to crank it..

Yeah man.. the starter doesnt click. The big wire reads fine, but the small wire shows nothing

You are testing it with the ignition switch in the start position, correct?

If you are not getting 12v to the small spade connector on the starter, then obviously the problem is in that circuit.

PM me your e-mail address and i will e-mail you the diagram of the circuit that pertains to your problem. The problem seems to be in the:

Fuse 32 (50A)
Ignition Switch (seriously doubt it)
Starter relay
Clutch interlock switch.

You need to get your multimeter and figure out where you have 12v and where you don't.
