I went out to start my car this morning and it wouldn't crank! I'm pretty sure it's not the battery b/c all the electronics and stuff work fine inside. But when I turn the key and press the clutch down nothing happens, not even a click. Sorry if I'm asking dumb questions, I don't know much about cars in general. Could I have a bad starter or something? My car is a 94 gsr w/ 120k miles and also in need of the 120k service. Thanks in advance...

If the starter had gone you would still hear the solenoid click?. Check that all the connections are tight. Maybe a fuse is down somewhere.

Yeah my car has been a bit finiky like that as well this week, it is almost like I cant push the clutch in far enough in to let the starter turn over, I need to pump it all the way to the floor. It seems like an easy adjustment, any suggestions????

 

I don't think that's my problem. I just got a new clutch. I'm going to check the fuse thing out...

 

My clutch is new as well (10K) on my car w/ 120K miles.

 

Check the cables...make sure they ARE TIGHT!!!

 

check to see if the clutch switch is energizing , otherwise, its like a safety the car will think its in gear.

 

hey guys, it ended up being the ignition.. i had to get a new one. cost me $350.. hurts, i'm only a poor college student! thanks for your help.
