search!!!!
there are a **** load of "my car wont start" threads. read them

 

make sure all the grounds are hooked up on the motor but More than likely there is one single wire that runs to teh starter that likes to pop off make sure that is plugged into the starter and the motor and tranny are grounded


Theres a start

 

Are you saying that the starter doesn't crank the engine when the key is turned to ON(III)? If so, is the battery fully charged? Does the starter turn the engine if you wire it directly to the battery? Can you push start the car (MT only)? Are any fuses blown?

 

no crank wut so ever battery is good starter does not do nothing with a direct connect , fuses are good and i didnt try to push start it thanx to the stupid *** snow in ny

 

the starter works on my homeboys car

 

quick answers + quick replies = car running sooner LOL

willing to help just gotta let us know what u got goin on lil more dteailed please

 

how about the sinlge 12 gauge wire that runs to the starter is that plugged in ??? that is the wire from the igntion that signals teh starter to kick over

 

have you checked to see if it has spark?

Sounds like the starter is dead or the engine is locked up. Do you hear the starter trying to turn the engine but can't? Are you able to turn the engine by putting a wrench on the crankshaft pulley bolt (turn counterclockwise only).

 

the starter wire is plugged in , due to the snow today i couldnt do any thing to the car today but i'll check for spark in the morning

 

easy way to check if the starter is turning the motor if possible start the car in gear lol ghetto but it will give u ur answer

 

starter makes no noise

 

the Tranny/motor grounded???

 

start the car in gear . i'll try that to

 

tranny is grounded and so is the motor

 

seriously smack the starter with a hammer it may be locked sometimes starters will still work after a few smacks lol it would work for a lil while but woudl recomend replacing if this works

 

bang the starter , no problem

 

all of my ideas are only if the starter is not turnig the motor over it is that opens a book of different things it could be lol so hopefully its just a dumb starter issue

 

hopefully , thanx alot

 

I'm using this in my sig. Best post ever.

 

My car has the same problem !! I took the starter to autozone they said it was good, i checked all the grounds, all the fuses, the battery is good, i even tried another starter, And no luck !!

 

Happened to a friends car : ring gear on the flywheel ( the part with the teeth ) seperated from the flywheel

Keep in mind all my ideas are if the motor itself is no turning over

 

Take off your transmission ground and wire brush it real good. also take the chassis down to bare metal where it grounds, sounds crazy but thats what made mine start when I had this EXACT same problem. it was just a fouled ground. you can read my thread by clicking my S/N and searching my posts.
