When you turn the key in your car, the key turns the starter motor, which inturn cranks the flywheel of your motor. Once firing is accomplished the starter is released, as you release the key. If your motor, just cranks and not start, you may have jumped your timing and this will have to be restored by a mechanic, as the timing belt needs changing.
No start? No turnover? No horn? No lights? Check with a voltmeter
Weak battery?Bad starter?Timing set too far advanced?
It is either the solenoid or the starter is shot
new battery installed . push starter and all I get Is a humming sound . wont turnover though
Does it turnover?
It means that it has not completed a full revolution in the firing order to keep the car running or on ..
In the car electrical system, the starter motor is the first stop after the battery, so the problem has to be with that.
If the cat was totally blocked, the engine may start and run briefly for a few seconds. If the cat was partially blocked the engine would run but lack serious power.
The engine will cease running. If it is partially clogged it may be hard to start and may stall. This can also be caused by a fuel pump that is about to fail.
YESAn automatic transmission car has a safety feature called a "Neutral Safety"It will not allow the starter to work if the shifter is not in either neutral or park. Many new cars will only start in park.On a manual transmission car the transmission being stuck in reverse probably means a serious failure inside the transmission that could jam things up to the point the engine wont start.
At least partially.
Okay, this might sound stupid, but I've done it before. Make sure the car is in park, if it is in the middle of park and reverse,it won't start. Make sure it has gas, and if nothing else, it's probably your starter or alternator. Take it to the mechanic.
