Perhaps a loose connection causing excessive resistance.
Check ground connection also
Solenoid not of proper rating (too light to carry load)
your fuel pump is a good place to look if its worn it will cause this type of problem
No, the v-tec system should not cause a no-start, especially the actuator solenoid. The V-tec system merely changes the way the valves operate either max lift, duration or advance (i'm not too familiar with honda's system) but a bad solenoid would either cause the "change" to always be in effect or never allow it. Check for spark, fuel pressure and make sure the valves open and close (visible thru the oil filler cap) when you turn the engine over. This will help you diagnose a no start.
All of the late-model Ford Rangers have a starter with a solenoid, and the older models have a remote starter solenoid. Both are covered. The remote starter solenoid is located on the passenger-side fenderwell. This means that a small-sized starter can fit in tighter locations. It also allows for a cheaper repair if just the solenoid goes bad.
If you have a bad shift solenoid, DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR!!! The shift solenoid may get you around but only for a limited time. It could actually go out at any time. Your best bet is not to drive the car at all...not even to the dealership or repair shop. Not only can this leave you stranded, but could cause an accident on the hiways or city streets. Think safety first. I would have the car towed to your mechanic rather than drive it there, if at all possible.
The starter relay or the internal starter relay solenoid contact is closed either by 12 volts still applied to the relay or starter or the contacts have welded themselves together. Welded together sounds good if the starter is shorted and that would cause the cables to overheat also.
yes
insanity
Try your tcc solenoid on the transmission
poor battery cable connection
The starter relay (solenoid) points are melted together.
bad starter or starter solenoid.
I would check the starter solenoid before I investigated the starter - it's likely the cause. Have someone try starting the car hot while you measure the voltage between the starter side of the solenoid and negative - you should get battery voltage. If not, the problem is the solenoid (or somewhere before it, electrically).
Either the solenoid pack or most likely the torque converter itself.
Low battery, bad connection or starter.
Short in the wiring or the radio itself.
What would cause the timing belt to break twice in 1 month on a 2000 Kia Sportage?
Yes , just like a dead battery would
