Would a soleniod circuit for the transmission make a car not start?

It might depend on the vehicle and transmission in question, but usually a transmission fault, of any kind, will have little or no impact on the engine's ability to start. With a transmission solenoid problem, you may not be able to make the car move, but it should still start.
About the only, transmission related problem that would prevent the engine from starting would be a faulty neutral safety switch, or maybe a faulty brake or clutch switch, which can definitely prevent you from starting the engine, even when working properly, that's their function. If the neutral safety switch is faulty, you may be able to start the engine with the transmission shifter in a position other than Park or Neutral, or not at all. Normal function allows engine starts in only Park or Neutral, and for automatics, sometimes only with the brake pedal depressed as well. On manual transmissions the neutral safety switch allows engine start only with the clutch pedal depressed.
**Note: some older vehicle models may not be equipped with neutral safety switches, brake switches, or clutch switches.

How do you start a car with auto transmission with bad starter?
You don't. You replace the starter and then start the car. In the past with older cars you could push start the car with an A/T and it would start at around 35 mph, but with modern transmissions I highly recommend against doing this. You may damage the transmission.
What can you do if a 1999 Cadillac Catera transmission shakes when you try to start the car?
Start checking out your engine and transmission mounts. Check the rubber to make sure it isn't torn.
Can you use a rolling start if a car with an automatic transmission will not start?
You can if you put it in neutral and push it to get a good enough start and try starting it and if it does then try to put it in drive and go yes and no you can not push start an automatic car. but if you can get it up to about 35 to 40 mph and put it in drive it will work but it is not worth the trouble . I would NOT do this unless you want to take the chance of buying a new transmission. You can not push start todays automatic cars. The engine drives the transmission hydraulic pump, not the driveshaft. Only the early Hydramatic transmissions from the 1940's and 50's you could push start if you got the vehicle up to aprox 25 mph or more.
Why a car would not start and also not give ANY response when key is turned in ignition?
What happened with me was, my car had a Remote Start system installed. It did not give any problem for several months. But, one day, when I tried to start the car manually using a key, the lights on the dashboard would come and go away in 2 seconds and any attempt to start the car by key would have no effect on car: no lights on dashboard, no engine sound, no clicking sound from Engine Starter. It would not start with Remote Start. Also, all the electrical system in the car would stop working. Workshop guy told me that the remote start circuit was wrongly installed and also remote start unit had some issues. I got the whole Remote Start system removed and things are fine since then.
How do you check the transmission fluid on a 350 small block engine?
350 Engines dont have transmission fluid. The Transmission does. Start the engine, leave the trans in Park, pull the dipstick and look at it. fill to full mark when the engine is fully warned up
Why won't a 1967 Ford Mustang start after replacing the soleniod?
Could be a possible problem with the transmission lock-out switch, which, when working normally, disallows the starter from engaging when the vehicle is in any other position except Park and Neutral.
Would a car not start if it was low on transmission?
No, the engine is not dependent on the transmission or transmission fluid in order to start & run.
Cadillac wont start or turn over?
No car can start until it turns over. Meaning the starter has to engage. So you have at least one problem or more. You have to have a good battery and it has to be 12.6 volts and remain at 8-12 vol;ts while trying to crank. When you cut the ignition on - the instrument panel has to light up and when you go to "start " you have to hear a soleniod in the starter go clunk. No clunk? There is a problem in the circuit to the soleniod. Clunks - but no turn over? Bad connection from the starter to the battery or bad starter.
2002 Chrysler Concorde will not start with 90 degrees temp but will start as the temp goes down any suggestion?
COULD BE AT CERTAIN TEMPATURES THE STARTER SOLENIOD SEPARATES.
Why would a car start but not go when put in gear?
My guess would be a broken transmission.
Why 1984 s10 blazer automatic transmission will not shift into fourth gear?
That would be a problem with the solenoid for the lock up converter. Start with checking the fuses. If the fuses check okay the lock up solenoid or wiring circuit is probably bad. That solenoid is located inside the transmission and can be reached by dropping the trans pan.
How does a 3000gt neutral safety switch work?
a neutral safety switch only allows the car to start when the gearshift is in park or neutral. It is normally located on the top of the transmission. the switch closes the circuit so power can be sent to the starter circuit.
Incase of short circuit will the generator start or not?
Yes the generator engine will start and keep running. The generator has to start before the short circuit is sensed. What happens to the generator section on a short circuit condition is that the generator breaker will trip and disconnect the short circuit on the load. <<>> genarator will not start because of short circuit
What happens when a start capacitor fails?
An open circuit, by definition, has no continuity, therefore there is no current flow. A failed capacitor in an open circuit would have absolutely no effect.
What would cause your 2001 Mitsubishi eclipse to just stop going like the transmission went out?
Mitsubishi eclipse is famous because of failing transmission. If I were you I would start with checking transmission fluid level. But most likely you will have to change transmission or fix one you have.
How do you design an analog electronic circuit?
First you start with an idea of what the circuit will do.
Dodge ram 2004 transmission humming noise?
i had some type of problem with my Transmission it had a loud humming noise whenever i start, the humming would go away when ever i start moving, but when i came up to a stop sign or a red light the humming would start, my friend who is a very good repair in all type of automotive told me my transmission oil pump was bad, well after he change the transmission oil pump the problem was gone.
