Check your ignition system/ plugs wires coil or coil packs.
Have you tried replacing the starter? it also could be the fuel regulator
it could mean that you have a loose battery cable that needs to be tightened
check if your battery is low than usual ..might be alternator problem
I replaced tge battery in my 2008 pontiac montana ''i took out the cross member and had to take the fuse box apart to get the old battery out when i put the new battery in and put the fuse box back together i got power to the car but no power to the starter '' have you any idea what could be the matter ;;thanks Jim
First, why was the battery replaced? If there was a pre-existing problem (like a bad starter, for example), replacing the battery will not solve the problem. If, however, the car started fine before battery replacement, then the problem could be that the battery terminals (clamps) were not sufficiently tightened. Don't laugh, but there have been instances where the plastic cap(s) covering the new battery's positive and negative terminals were not removed (duh!). Remove those plastic caps.
Sounds like the ignition switch.
We had this problem. It turned out that moisture had gotten into the distributor cap. Once we replaced it, the problem stopped! I had the same problem with my 93 Ford Tempo and after Sears had replaced the battery, they did not completely tighten down the ground cable. Ford could have put a better battery terminal on the car as well, as it was a bear to tighten down.
Leaking from where on the battery, the caps? If so the charging system may be over charging the battery and causing the acid to boil out. Could be a voltage regulator problem.
you need a new battery. if battery has been replaced and this still does not solve the problem, you must have had the bad battery for too long and it ruined the If the new battery doesn't solve the problem you can have check the battery cables, make sure they have a clean tight connection. Also the problem could be with your starter also.
Batteries do not last for ever and after about 3 years they need to be replaced. An old battery simply will not hold its charge. Therefore as a first step in chasing down your problem, get your battery tested.
Check your ignition fuse,its in the fuse box,also,your fusible link could be burnt or melted,its connected to your positive battery cable,if burnt or melted,then its your problem.
