recently, my car hasn't been starting, strictly in the morning. i also noticed it was cold outside everytime it didn't start. when i turn the key, it doesn't crank or anything, no sounds coming from my car at all. what could be the problem? bad timing? starter? thanks

 

sounds like a bad battery.

 

it starts fine during the day

 

bump

 

maybe your alarm is on :D

 

umm, nah...cmon guys, i need some help here

 

i'v was having the same problem. every morning i'd crank and crank and nothing. turns out it was my starter. take it to autozone or something. i hear they will check all your electrical stuff for free.

 

You may also want to check your main relay.. I had this problem in my si hatch. It costs $50-60 to replace.

 

but it doesn't crank at all. its like the battery is dead, but if i wait til the afternoon when it gets warm, my car will start fine

or try to check ur starter.

 

well it might be that your ground wires are a little bit worn down. check to see if they need to be replaced.

 

nope, its not the ground wires. bump cause it happened again this morning

 

It's either the battery or the alternator that's draining the battery.

 

my mechanic says it has to be the starter, can anyone confirm this?

 

it is probably your starter and or your battery

you have to test them

 

how much does a starter for a d16z6 go for?

 

bump for friday night

 

TTT

i'd say around $50 brand new. you can get them for alot cheaper.

 

I'm almost 99% sure that it's your starter. If you've got 15-30 minutes, you could yank it out & test it at Autozone as mentioned above. 2 bolts, 2 wires and out it goes.

Is your fuel pump priming? Do you hear it when you turn your key in the "ON" position? One way to listen is to look for the CEL to come on and off. Let us know

 

are you pushing the clutch down all the way? my car started doing that, id have to push it ALL the way to the floor before it will start now...

as far as in the mornings, is your ECU chipped? could be that the fuel left over in the cyl needs to clear out before it'll start

 

^^ actually, its weird because, you dont even have to push the clutch to start my car but i do anyway, and yes i push it all the way down.

ill get my starter checked on monday. and ill let you guys know
