16260, help!! car won't start, doesn't even turn over Posted by talon_esi, Mar-03-02 07:17 AM
shit my car won't start. it won't even turn over. i turn the key and it does nothing. all the electrical stuff inside works, like the radio and lights they all work. but the car won't do anything.it's automatic. i've tried everything. even try starting it in nutral and jump starting it, but still nothing. wtf.
well i need help asap. and yes i have fuel in my tank.
thanks Adam.

can u hear anything when u turn your key to the on position?? like clicks? electrical things goin on?? see if your battery is charged, and what kinda load it can handle. it can handle the low load of the acc lights, but not the load of turnin the engine over, imo....
good luck. most auto spots will test your batt for free. the stock batt is no good after 2 yrs, from my experience.
if its not the battery, come back, and let us know more.
after readin your post again, it may be the starter.

That exact same thing happened to me too. It was fine one day and then just quit on me the next. My problem was that not only was my battery going bad, but my terminals were dirty as shit as well. You should try cleaning them really good. They should be really shiny once they are cleaned right. After I bought a new battery and cleaned everything up really good the problem went away.

it might sound stupid but make sure you didnt knock out a little security chip if you had one. i got my car used and i dont know if its a factory option or whatever, but there was a little chip that i knocked out. all my accessories worked but the engine wouldnt turn over. i almost had it towed until i saw the chip on the floor.

Check your fuel relays also by the battery.

ok. they battery checks out to be good, the battery termanals are bright and clean. there are no loose fuses, the car is in park, and i still have to check the fuel relay.
also is there anyway to check if the starter is still good before i go out and buy a new one?
and last but not least, how would i know if my engine seized up for ever or not?
thanks Adam L.
