#44006, "HELP!! Car Won't Start!!"


          

At first the car would only start every once and a while until it progressed to the next level of not starting at all. The only way I can start it is by jumping it or by pop-starting it. I thought it was battery. Now I have a brand new battery and still the same symptoms. My friend has a tester and he knows that the battery is good and the alternator is throwing out plenty of charge. Could my problem be in the solenoid? If so, what is a good way to test the solenoid? I played with a screwdriver and tried to ground it and make it turn the engine over. I got spark but the engine itslef remained lifeless. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

Thanks,
Lee

First off...what do you drive?

Cam shaft sensor would be something I would look at if the car is not getting spark when turning over....have you checked anyting, besides the battery and alt? Are you getting fuel,spark?

Let us know I'm sure I or someone else can help you out..

If you are saying that the car won't TURN OVER with a good battery. then the first place that I would look is at your battery cables and connectors. if all of that checks out, I would be looking towards the starter.

but start with the cables.

If you can push start it or jump start it, then I would start by checking the starter wiring. Maybe clean both ends of the starter terminal, or replace the relays that relate to starting.
BTW: I have been trying to get in touch with you, any update on my seats?

Thanks for the input guys emoji I'm gonna go back at it tomorrow.

Bill.......Your seats are on the way. I had to chop the hell out of that box to get them to take it. My friend stood me up and didn't take it to his work (UPS) so I had to lug it up there that night. THey only take something that is 130 inches, I ended up having 145. It's all good now though. Sorry its taking so long. Hey can I get your # again. My cell is messed up and I had your # saved in it but now I don't have it anymore. I REALLY want to do this summer plan. let me know...... How is your car going along.

Anymore input would be appreciated!! emoji
