ok so my car has been having this probelm for a while now..

it first started in the spring. When i'd start the car the starter would turn over and right before it caught (engine started) there would be a grinding noise (same noise as when you try to turn the ignition while the car is on).

I went to go gas up one time maybe 2-3 weeks ago and when i started it it was fine and then i stalled it and the car wouldn't start again.

I was able to push start the car and I still can to this day.

I thought it was the started that had died but it turns out that that that is not it at all. I took the whole starter apart (my old one) and cleaned it all then put it back together and it worked! But for only a week.

yesterday morning i tried to start it and it wouldn't turn over.

I've tried 5 different starters and still nothing.

the battery is fine.
on an ohm meter there is the same voltage going to the starter as is coming from the battery.
I have an anti-demarreur (don't know if it could be that malfunctioning?)

Sometimes when i try to start the car, the speedometer jumps up and falls back down, the radio shuts off when you hold the ignition on (maybe a short somewhere?

i don't know what to do anymore honestly i've given up.. please someone give me some ideas because ihonestly have no idea what it could be..

ps. i've concluded that it is my factory anti theft system that is faulty... can someone tell me how to bypass it?

its e four way flashers that i have to turn on in order to start the car

 

check your grounds that might be it i had the same problem

 

i've checked them all already and its still doing it

one thing that wa wierd was that when i took out the four way flasher button and knocked it round a bitit would sometimes start... im guessing its a connection somewhere in the button that isn't right... thats why i want to just bypass he whole anti theft system.

 

You say that when you jiggled the hazard switch the car started? Maybe someone hooked that up to be a start button?

 

maybe its the dizzy

 

what i mean is this, here is the sequence in which i must follow in order to start the car:

1. Turn the key to accessories
2. push the hazard lights (leave them on or turn them off it doesn't matter)
3. turn the ignition to start.

Now the problem is that when i put the key to accessories and hit the hazrad lights, the starter doesn't turn over. Then when i'd jiggle or hit the hazards and try to turn the iginition again the starter sputters and sometimes will start the car.

 

.... anyone
