Lift hood, look down between engine and radiator on right side of engine bay. The unit that looks like a coffee can with and Orange Juice can hung off of it with a large wire from the battery going to it is the starter and solenoid.
its in the front under the valve cover. its kind of cylinder shaped and has a couple wires coming out of it.
It sounds like you have dirty/loose battery connections, a bad ground, loose ground wire on the engine block, loose hot wire at the starter, bad starter, or bad ignition switch. I have a 95 Chevy lumina and i have rebuilt the starter, replaced the solenoid, put shims between the starter and transmission, changed the battery cable. Jesse
Consider this - I have a 91' Chevy lumina with 256k miles on it, and aside from an oil leak, it still runs like a top
If its like the 1993 Lumina it's in the fuel tank.
See them below-
It sounds like you need to get your starter motor, repaired, reconditioned or replaced. I had this problem a few months ago, but since getting it reconditioned, it's working perfectly again !
The starter is in the frount up under the car towards the middle of the car it almost looks like an oil fillter but a bit smaller.
Sounds like head gasket is leaking
I own a '96 Chevy Lumina that has the same problem and it sounds like it is a fairly common problem. I don't actually have the solution, however I know that if I turn the car to the on position and sit for a couple of minutes, then try and crank it over, it will magically start. I was thinking maybe there is just a bad connection or wire somewhere in the ignition system.
On top of the starter - looks like a juice can
Need to know if it is, or not,the coupe. Also, what engine.
Nope call a parts store, same part number>?? also ...everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional shop manual available for FREE to make copies of...read up and repair like a PRO! Dave :)
