What will cause your car not to turn over?

When you say, that it won't "turn over", it is assumed that the engine will not crank when you attempt to engage the starter. If it's cranking but the engine isn't starting the following doesn't apply. If it's not cranking... Usually it's battery, alternator or battery terminals. If that isn't the problem start checking the neutral lockout, the keyswitch or the starter and/or solenoid.

Why does my 1999 grand prix gtp not start if you get it towed to the shop and at the shop it starts they don't do anything and a couple of days later it does it again back to the shop and it starts?

Probably either the fuel pump or starter coil going out. Starter coil would be no cranking, pump would be cranking but no spark.


Why my 2000 crown Victoria won't start I change the starter?

If the engine is cranking over fast(starter and battery ok) and it just won't start, it could be alot of things If the engine is cranking slowly, it could be the starter, the battery, or the alternator(not charging the battery) check your cables from the battery to the engine and the body... good luck d
