Car Starting Problems

in this case i had the same promblem on day i parked car then went to start it would not start i chaded the coil pack no luck chaded the fule filter no luck i cahged the ecm and is stared rigth up then now is want to die on me sometimes when driving if i where u chage the fuel pump and check all relays

Don't know if you're doing something wrong - you haven't said what you're doing or what model British Seagull engine that you have.
Be sure to try starting the engine in a tub of water.
Be sure your fuel mixture is correct (see any of the British Seagull sites for correct mixture for your model).
Be sure you have the right amount and right weight oil in the gear box.
Be sure the spark plug is the right one and is properly gapped.
After all that, either in a tub/tank of water or on the boat (and my British Seagull is a FeatherWeight 40, and therefore doesn't have a clutch or neutral - so the boat must be facing the direction I want to go...the minute the engine starts):
1) Open the brass part of the gas cap 1/2 turn (the bottom part of the gas cap remains firmly in place);
2) Reach around the back of the engine and pull out the brass fuel flow button (I think it says "Pull out" or something equally instructive);
3) Close the throttle (that thin slice of metal near what appears to be a muffler);
4) Find the little round button that pushes up and down and push it until gas drips from the fuel line (unfortunately, it drips into the water - not environmentally conscious);
5) Put the speed controller button (usually controlled by your thumb) all the way open
6) Wrap the starter cord around the pulley in the direction the arrows point;
7) Take your hand off the pulley - maybe rest it on the gas tank. When the engine starts, the pulley rotates rapidly and can cut or burn your hand if it is in the wrong place.
8) Pull the starter cord. Pull it again if it doesn't start.
9) If it continues not to start, try opening the throttle (the thin piece of metal near the muffler); and or let the engine rest before trying again. It may be flooded.
10) If it still doesn't start, take it to someone to be tuned up. There's a lot of old guys around who know about this engine and may be able to help.
11) If it still doesn't start - hey, its a British Seagull engine and has vowed to drive you crazy.

I just installed a strter in my 1975 Ford F-100, 400 V8. I am a novice mechanic and I was able to do the job with little trouble. Just remove the wire and remove the mounting bolts(on mine there were only 2 and they were obvious).

The starter slides out and the install is just as simple. My only issue was clearance on the back bolt. I just had to use very short strokes on the ratchet.

Good Luck.

but a chevy and ford not the same ford bolts to the bell housing. chevy bolts to the block. chevy has wires to the starter. ford goes to the fender well.

You might try to jiggle the steering wheel a little, press the brakes while you try to start, and make sure your car is in park.

Under hood, driver side, upper engine area, mounted on end of engine block

Yes.

Yes.

inside the starter.

with a fully charged battery and clean connections to the starter and battery check fuses first and if good, replace ignition switch under steering column

If you have power enough in your battery to start the car, then this is not the likely cause.

Maybe the carburetor is in need of a proper rinse.

On a 1993 ford ranger 2 wheel drive 2.3L. Be sure to disconnect the battery before starting. First locate the starter on the bottom passenger side (under the hood), then remove the positive and negative wires connected to it by either removing the clip or unscrewing the 1/2 inch nut. Then remove the three (3), 1/2 inch by about 4 inch bolts with a socket or whatever. once those three bolts are out, you can just pull the whole thing out and then put the new one in, bolt it in and connect the wires the same way ou removed them.

Peace to your nines. I wouldn't want them to heat up. I don't wish that on anyone, kid.

Hey. Curious do you have an autostarter installed? If you do does it work? Also check your fuses they should be installed on the 12volt power feeds to the starter brain box somewhere under the dash!!!

Crankshaft sensors usually either work or they don't. However, using a vom meter, you can test the resistance of the sensor to see if its working.

P1682 A/T FI Signal A High Input (Acura, Honda)P1682 Charging System Voltage Too Low (Chrysler, Jeep)

Sometimes in damp climates where it is damp in the morning or after dark the vehicle will not start due to the spark plug wires being too old and the insulation is rotted and arcing. all the energy is dissipating before it gets to the cylinders. turn the lights off of check in low light conditions and have a buddy turn the car over you may be able to see the sparks dissipating on the engine from the wires. replace the wires with good 8mm insulated spark plug wires. good luck!

A bad computer could cause several problems. The car may not shift properly. The overdrive might not work. In some models the transmission may stay in forward gears no matter what the selector is set to.

Its likely it could be your crank angle sensor. take it to the mechanic and get it scanned. the problem should show up

The ignition barrel can be removed by removing the retaining ring. The barrel will slide out. Remove the wiring harness from the back of the barrel.

Sometimes a weak spark in an internal combustion engine can be caused by dirty spark plugs. It can also be caused by weak distributor coils.

It sounds like you need either a flywheel or the bendix on the starter is worn out. Easy fix if it is starter.

Get a jump start from somebody else, and then figure out what it was you left turned on or plugged in to drain your battery. If it happens again, replace the battery.

By the way, this is why you should belong to AAA or another road-service club.

show me in a picture where is the starter for a 2001 mitsubshi galant

Wider tires give better traction, esp in less than perfect conditions.

Narrow tires would give better speed and/or gas mileage.

One might think that but not necessarily, it depends on the road surface. Why do ice skates have thin blades? What do you think a wide racing tire would do on a flooded street? Even in dry conditions, a wider tire won't change your traction because even if you have more area (square inches) on the ground, you have less weight per square inch so traction remains the same. How soft the tire is is the biggest factor.

You can do of a dew different ways by sound or sight start the van and remove the plug wires one by one and listen for changes in the sound of the motor or you can remove the plugs from the block and keep the wire connected to see if you have spark that way..just use insulated plyers when doing this to avoid shock

Yes
