Car Starting Problems
Some of the common car starting problems stem from a discharged battery, a bad fuel pump (or no fuel), a weakened starter motor, or a broken electrical connection. Checking each part will help troubleshoot why the car won’t start.

Why no spark on 1997 Grand Voyager 30 engine?
Check the crankshaft sensor. If the sensor on the Grand Voyager is bad then there wont be any spark.

Where is the solenoid located under the hood of a 1987 Nissan pick-up?
look thru opening by front passenger tire ,you will see oil filter,its to the left,attached to the starter.
What sound does bad car shocks make?
Generally, they don't make a sound. When you go over a bump, and your car keeps going "bounce, bounce, bounce" several times before it settles down, your shocks are shot. The shock absorber's job is to damp the car's springs - the springs are the real "shock absorbers". The actual shock absorber is supposed to stop the spring after the first "bounce".
Why does turning the key a few times in the drivers side door start the car?
the car has a remote starter so you don't have to get into an ice cold car, and you've discovered another way to engage it. When all else fails RTFM.
The problem lies in the ignition switch - had a Nissan pick-up that did the same thing.
I suspect fuel delivery problems. Do a fuel flow and pressure test, it could be fuel pump failure.
Your top radiator hose bust and you guess water got all over everything and now my car wont start?
Don't laugh: wait. If it was truly "water" it probably wet your distributor and when it dries out it'll start and dry itself further when you drive it, although it may be a little "sputtery" for a little while. If you get it started, DON'T TURN IT OFF til it stops sputtering. This advice based on driving a car through standing water and accidentally learning the hard way. If you got ANTIFREEZE all over your engine, you may run into additional problems (corrosion??) that I'm not really qualified to help with. Good luck!
Where is the starter on an Olds Cutlass 1986?
follow the positive battery cable down to the starter solinoid which is mounted to the starter motor, the starter motor should be on the same side as the battery is. good luck
Where is a starter located on a 1997 Plymouth voyager van?
If you get under the front bumper, slide under the engine, you will see the oil pan to your right. On either the the front side (front meaning torwards the bumper) or rear of the oil pan right on the engine side of things. It is kinda hard to describe without accually looking at it.
1993 ford explorer has had both O2 sensors replaced and now won't start?
I can assure you that the O2 sensors will not prevent the enigne from starting, even if they are disconnected or removed. Something else is the culprit.
If it ran before you changed the fuel lines I'd say you've created a problem somehow. Pull the tank and check it out.
I have a 1999 Town Car with the same problem.
I had the fuel pump replaced, still had the problem, then replace the fuel filter, still have the problem.
Please help.
I fixed a 95 town car last monday. No spark and it was getting fuel. The ign. module is by the drivers side hood hinge. Went to pull a part and got a used one for $10.00 as a new one is $130.00+. Put it on the car ,started right up. Be sure the module is sealed from water getting on the terminals when you replace it.

Battery is working fine but wont crank on makes a woodpecker sound?
The starter is solennoid is bad.
Another AnswerA bad starter solenoid/relay usually makes a single click when trying to start the engine. The "woodpecker sound". or rapid clicking is usually due to a low battery or a loose/dirty battery cable. You migt want to inspect the condition of the cables and their connections. and have the battery checked for free an most major auto parts stores.How do you fix a car horn that is not working on a rover 620 ti?
