#55378, "wtf!? my car won't start"


          

this has nothing to do with the turbo or installation.

lastnight i just installed a longer intake for the turbo. so i started on the car and reved it a little to hear the sucking sound. so this morning, i was about to go out and i start my car, and that shit didn't start. what gives? lights are on, my system is on, everything is on and i also checked the fuse, its fine. i thought i little jump would do the trick but still it won't start. anybody can give me any ideas on what it would be? you think its the starter? need help? emoji this sucks!

you haven't described what it does and tries to do when you go to start it.

Exactly, you need to tell us if it tries to crank or if you just here a click or don't hear a click at all.. could be a number of things.. before i put a turbo on my car i had injen cold air.. there is a sensor by the valve cover that if it isn't properly grounded your car won't start... trust me it gave me a headache out in cold weather at a gas station for 3hours until i decided to jiggle a few things and then bam it started.... if it doesn't crank at all... it could be the starter.. a good way to tell is to put direct battery power to the starter solnoid itself to see if it cranks directly... just do it once or twice... you don't want to fry yourself or anything...

is it getting spark? are you getting fuel? it could be your fuel pump has blown.. check to see if you are getting fuel.... then check to see if you are getting spark... ... troubleshoot.

we need more info.

oh alright. Everything in the car is on. Now I have a battery charger connected to my car battery. I turn the key all the way and it doesn't try to start. I do hear a little click.

Well if you're still using the inline from Hahn it should be mounted below your passenger side door. I'm guessing you didn't install the kit yourself?

If you hear a click it's prpbably your starter solenoid. Get it checked out. Or it also could be your battery.
