You have 99 Chevy cavalier and it doest start is it battery radio still plays or is it starter and if it starter can i rebuild my own starter and if so how much would that be?

Sometimes there can be enough power in the battery to run electrical things but not enough to start the engine. You need to get the battery tested to see if it will hold a charge.You can try to jump start it using another battery. If it will not start this way,try charging the battery first before going on to the starter. If it turns out to be the starter, you can have it rebuilt. This can run about 20.00-40.00.


How does motor liquid starter works and what is the advantage of using it?

Does a 1990 Chevy Silverado have a starter relay you have replaced the starter and the switch located on the column under the dash and cannot find a problem with fuses or wires?

The starter relay is integrated into the starter. Have you checked the neutral lockout switch? If the neutral lockout switch is faulty or adjusted wrong the starter will never engage. It could also be that the starter wires are cross-connected. Using a volt meter, make sure you are getting voltage to the starter bendix when you attempt to start the engine. If not, start backtracking to the keyswitch to see where you DO have voltage.

What could be the reason for a 1992 Chevy Silverado that had been starting and running fine to now have the motor turn over but will not fire on up?

Go back to the basics. Check the fuel, ignition and compression. I'd suspect the fuel first, check to see if you have pressure when you turn on the ignition and crank the engine. Try a little starter fluid to see if it will start using that. If it starts briefly after shooting a little starter fluid down the throttle body, I'dd guess the problem is either the fuel pump or the fuel filter. if you are getting proper fuel ck the ignition modual


Your Chevy starter does not engage it spins but will not engage any suggestions It is a mini sbc starter.?

Could be the starter drive is not engaging or perhaps you're using the wrong holes for your flywheel. If you have a 153 tooth ring and have the starter in the 168 tooth position, the gears would not mesh. Did it ever start? if it did ,most likely the starter drive is broken, or the pinion ,or flywheel are stripped of their teeth. Bendix is broken, Starter too far from ring gear, broken bendix throwout fork.
