So last night i decided to hide some cables to make the engine bay look cleaner. I unplug all the cables in the circle but the one with number 1 next to it had a screw that does not come out so I plug everything back together. I also took my muffler off becaue im getting a new one . and now the car wouldnt start!!! what did I do wrong someone please help me Thanks!!!

 

When i turn the the key the lights work, and i hear a fan turning on but the engine does not crank.

 

Grounds Polly check continuity between bat neg and chassis.

 

Dont know how to the do that . Do know anywhere I can find info on how to do it or can you please explain
thanks

 

I just checked all the fuses in the engine bay they are all good.
I also checked all the fuses under the dash there was one blown size 20, I grabed a 20 from the row above and still didnt work.
* Also i tryed this: Turn the key all the way like the engine was on and with a screw driver conected the pos- with the neg- of the starter I heard some clicking, saw some sparks but nothing.

Tomorrow Im going to Autozone to get my battery checked out just in case.

The plugs are pluged good i checked millions of times.

Im done with the car for today hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

 

wat in the blu hell happened to that valve cover smh

 

thats how i got

 

this is what i got

I saw this Video
YouTube - Checking Car Wiring Circuits For Continuity with a MultiMeter
So I have to connect the black wire from the multimiter to the neg of the battery and the red one to the metal sticks inside the plug ?

bummer

 

Will check the flywheel tomorrow thanks for the link.
Because the battery is good, and about all the starter problems i will see tomorrow bause i just bought a new starter today.

 

I know..

 

the engine doesn't even turn over or it does and just wont start?

 

It does Not turn over. there is no sound coming from the engine. only the fan turns on.

It was not the starter. Tomorrow buying 2 relays, and a ignition fuse. BTW all the parts that im buying if they dont fix the problem im getting my money back.

My next steps are :
1) Get a ignition fuse.
2) Relays
3) New Wiring harness.
4) _____________ Not sure what to do after that.. Any ideas ?

 

make sure that the neg on the starter is connected i had the same issue and just cuss autozone says battery is good try a different battery just in case people at axone are donkeys

 

Possibly a bad grounding cable. Check to make sure for that.

 

ok.... the wire(#1) you where trying to remove does come out, you just have to remove both white wires.... they connect together. SOOOOOO did you remove them or you try'ed and couldn't so you put everything back together?

Does your fuel pump prime?.... When you turn your key on but don't crank the engine can you hear it?

Can you here your Starter solenoid click when you try to start?

Did you lean on your Distributer while tinkering around?.... just a couple questions for you

 

I tested it myself I work at Autozone lol.


All grounds are tight



I put everything back together like it was

Nothing from the fuel pump.

No sound coming from the engine

I can not hear the starter

No i did not lean on the distributer.

 

First, there is no ground lead at the starter, there is a batt. cable, thicker [of the two] and the starter lead, thinner of the two.

Try a bypass jump, make sure car is not in gear, ign. switch does not need to be on, unplug the starter lead, [thinner of the two leads] at the starter motor, use a jumper lead from either the batt. pos.(+) post or the batt. cable on starter motor and touch the other end of jumper to the terminal on starter motor you unplugged the starter lead from. engine should crank if not, and batt. is good and ground, [engine and chassis] is good your problem is the starter motor or the starter motor solenoid. 94

 

Already tryed that and also I tryed a new starter and nothing.

 

What do you mean by nothing? It wouldn't turn over with a jumpstart on the starter? oO

 

Thats right. what does the face means ? oO

 

sounds like your not getting power to your under hood fuse box...... fuel and ignition not working..... check your grounds and power connections again.

 

It seems like you're getting power to the starter, but it wouldn't turn still.
Might be possible that you shortened something while working on those cables and drained the battery? Try to jumpstart it with a new battery or something.

 

When you say "nothing" do you mean no crank, no click and no sparking when you do the bypass jump?

Have you tried a bypass jump with the new starter?

If so, to both the above, check your engine ground.

I would also see if you can turn engine over by hand at the crank, just to make sure engine is not seized/jammed. 94
