Actually it sounds like you crank sensor, same thing was happening with my 2001. Thanks that could be true to but this is what happened to me maybe this will help too:
My 2001 Sunfire was doing the same thing and my husband replaced the fuel filter and the filter that leads to the carberator. The car started right up and is running fine. Dust, dirt and particles stopped it up, I live in the desert and the evening before the car quit running, we drove through mud and almost got stuck so we had to spin out and the car was cakes with mud....which is rare fro Arizona as we get no rain. Hope this helps others. Sharonkaye
If there is a single click from the starter area, the starter is bad. If not, it could be an ignition switch.
there are several reasons this could happen.distribator cap and wires spark plugs may need to be replaced.there could be oil getting thru and on some of them. if your car doesn't have an electronic ignition the cylinoid could be bad.
There are several reasons for this issue. There could be a loose connection to one of the battery terminals. There could be a short in the ignition switch. There could also be an issue with an electrical component.
Intermittent cranking issues can be caused by several factors, such as a weak battery, faulty starter motor, or poor electrical connections. It's important to check the battery's charge and terminals for corrosion, as well as the starter and ignition system. Additionally, a failing ignition switch could also lead to inconsistent cranking. If the problem persists, it may be best to consult a mechanic for a thorough diagnostic.
A Yamaha Big Bear ATV may not be getting spark due to several potential issues. Common causes include a faulty ignition coil, a defective spark plug, or issues with the wiring and connections in the ignition system. Additionally, a malfunctioning CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) unit or a blown fuse can also lead to a lack of spark. It's advisable to systematically check these components to identify and resolve the issue.
its a ignition coil which changes 12 volts of battery to a several thousands volts which is required for spark plug to create an ignition.
If you're not getting fire to the coil on a 1998 Yamaha RT180, it could be due to several issues. First, check the ignition switch, kill switch, and any fuses for continuity. Additionally, inspect the wiring for damage or corrosion, as well as the ignition coil itself, which may be faulty. Lastly, ensure that the stator and CDI unit are functioning properly, as they are crucial for generating the spark.
NO several thousand volts. around 20kv.
The crank sensor is bad. When the sensor gets hot (i.e. engine is warmed up) the sensor quits. The sensor sends a signal to the ignition control module to tell it to create spark. It is located behind the crank pulley (or harmonic balancer) and requires a special bolts for a pulley puller or entire pulley puller designed for the 3800 engines from 1987 up to 2008.
Sounds like a fuel pump on its way out. I suggest getting it changed or else one day it won't fire up at all.
Ignition timing and advances are all computer controlled (ignition amplifier and ECU)based on info from several sensors. No mechanical or vacuum advance at the distributor, and moving it will not change anything.
Intermittent starting issues in a Buick Century can be caused by several factors. Common culprits include a weak battery or poor battery connections, a failing starter motor, or issues with the ignition system, such as a faulty ignition switch or spark plugs. Additionally, problems with the fuel system, such as a clogged fuel filter or malfunctioning fuel pump, could also impact starting reliability. It's important to diagnose the specific issue to ensure an effective fix.
