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.

If a 1983 Chevy Caprice will turn over but not start in snowy conditions what is the problem?
youre problem may be water inside your fuel lines or tank, put some gas line antifreeze in your gas tank and that should help you if that's youre problem, its very common in wintertime
get a bigger battery something like 800 cold cranking amps
I had similar problem in cold weather. Parts contract when cold which may lead to failed electrical connections. My problem solved when replaced distributor cap/rotor and made sure bolts front and back were secured down
What is the engine life expectancy on Plymouth Breeze?
- Head Gasket Replaced by Government when purchased.
- Replaced the Timing Belt Twice for Preventive Maintenance (old ones still looked good)
- Replaced Original Battery at Ten Years Old, amazing! I've never had a battery last that long.
- Tires Replaced.
- Brakes Replaced twice.
- Belts and Hoses Replaced.
- Regular Oil and Filter changes.
- Fluid levels checked with Gas Fill-ups.
- More or less follow Maintenance suggested in Owner's Manual.
- Flushed and Filled Coolant; Changed Transmission Fluid and Filter.
- Changed Spark Plugs once or twice (old ones still looked pretty good).
Most of this is routine Maintenance with parts one would normally expect to wear out. Some, such as the Timing Belts may not have needed replacing, but I didn't want to wait for them to Break. Great Car, the most reliable vehicle I've ever had, I love it! I hope to get well over 200,000 miles with it!

Answerthe highest i have seen one go is 162,000 miles but that's just looking around not to be exact
AnswerWe have a 1996 Breeze with 175,000 miles on it. Repairs in the past 3 years have included 2 timing belts, water pump, both oxygen sensors, and other non engine repairs such as 2 fuel pumps, wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends, etc.
AnswerMy girlfriend's Breeze had a head gasket replaced at around 44K miles, and another one at 75K. The car is at around 80K now and needs a new transmission. Sad thing is she drives it like an old woman. Throughout the life of the car we've had to replace numerous electrical sensors and components, including the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) a few times.
If you're looking for a reliable car, a Breeze/Stratus/Cirrus/Neon/Sebring are about as far as you'll get from it. We're currently selling the car to buy her a Civic as a replacement.
AnswerI have a 1997 Breeze I am at 214678mls, not bad for a little car. No I have not had to do a lot of work to it.
AnswerMy breeze has 433,000 km believe it or not that over 250 thousands miles.

How do you know when your starter is out?
Attempt to start-nothing happens or may drag like weak battery-or may grind
Where is the starter location?
Most automobile starters are located near the front of the engine. You can follow the positive battery cable, from the battery to the starter.
Why would an Explorer make a squealing noise when you start it?
Assuming you have already checked the obvious, the serpentine belt tensioner and belt. A common cause of the squeal in 4.0 Ford engines is the camshaft sychronizer (takes the place of the distributor on DIS, distributorless ignition systems). It sounds very similar to a belt squeal and is often mis-diagnosed as a belt being loose or worn. The noise can be intermittant, but if the noise is there when you have the hood up use a simple mechanic's stethoscope to help pinpoint the source of the noise. == == The most likely culprit is a serpentine belt or the belt tensioner. Try replacing the serpentine belt. If the noise persists, replace the belt tensioner. See the related article "Serpentine belt and Tensioner FAQ for the Ford Explorer all models"
Try resetting the fuel cut off switch and see if the engine will start
How do you fix a key not turning the ignition?
It probably is not the key. It could be the battery or starter.
Try lubricating it with powered graphite. If that does not work then the ignition tumbler assembly may need replacing. They do wear out over time. Of course you may be using the wrong key.
What is wrong with a car when it won't start is just makes clicking sound?
battery or corroded connection on battery
One click most likely is a bad starter motor or solenoid.
Many clicks battery or connection problem.
What is the fuel pressure specifications for a 2001 Chevy cavalier?
Cars that have electronic fuel pumps, has to have at least 40 psi. This is true for all vehicles since the fuel injectors needs this much pressure to operate properly.
How do you know if the timing belt is going out?
What I was told is that you look at the belt; if you see more than 7 "cracks" per inch, it is time to replace the timing belt.
A timing belt can look perfectly fine and be ready to break. This is why they are replaced at a scheduled mileage or every 10 years no matter what they look like. So the bottom line is you cannot know when it needs replacing by just looking at it. Your owners manual will list when it needs replacing.
Company turnover refers to the total revenue generated by a business during a specific period, typically measured annually. It reflects the overall sales performance and is an indicator of a company's size and market activity. Turnover can also refer to employee turnover, which measures the rate at which employees leave and are replaced within a company. Both types of turnover are critical for assessing a company's health and operational efficiency.
Check for a loose or corroded battery cable Engine seized? Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral safety switch?
sound like a bad key tumbler go to auto parts store and buy a new one.
Why is the clicking sound when your Toyota Sienna does not start?
Multiple "clicks" check for a weak battery
Check fr loose or corroded battery cables Single "click"
Maybe a bad starter solenoid
After a car is turned off what could still be running?
Some cars have a cooling fan to cool the engine and keep it from overheating. I had a car with this fan when I lived in southern CA. If you parked the car in the sun, at times it would start up, bu itself, an hour after you had turned the car off. Sometimes, they stay on after you turn the car off. Check your owner's manual. If you don't have one, go to the Library. They have all kinds of manuals.
Yes your truck will not start unless you replace this resistor. You can find the part in any good junk yard or from a good parts store like Napa.
Try using a little starting fluid to see if it will run briefly. If it starts then dies as soon as you quit using starting fluid, the problem is related to fuel. Check the fuel pressure at the injectors. Most vehicles have a fuel pressure test port and you should be able to find out the proper fuel pressure for your vehicle/engine. If fuel pressure is low or non-existant, check the fuel filter and the fuel pump.
Why would a car not start if it gets fuel and spark?
There are a lot of reasons that a car might not start even if it is getting fuel and spark. It depends what kind of car it is. It could be something as small and simple as a bad starter or solenoid or something as complicated as a stretched timing chain. What are you working with?
There was no beginning as it has always been.
Answer:
Philosophers and physicists disagree about the start of time. Stephen Hawking (a physicist) suggests that that even if time did not begin with the Big Bang and there were another time frame before the Big Bang, that information is not accessible to us. It does not exist and cannot be proven. Effectively time starts with the Big Bang some 15 billion years ago.
As to where this happened, the Big Bang by its nature is the centre of the Universe.
How do you replace a rotor and distributor cap on lt1 corvette engine?
Disconnect the battery. Remove the air temp sensor, air filter hose, and accessory drive belt. Drain the radiator and remove the hoses from the water pump. Remove the distributor cap and rotor, and replace with new ones.
Yes,, Its happening to me. I have a 2006 Forenza. Seems lke it happens more when the car is cold. I brought it back to the dealer and they did an idle "relearn" Needless to say,, it didn't work,,,, So' I'll have to bring it back again If this is the same thing that happened to me, I was told to turn it "on", press the brake, downshift to 3rd, then put it back in Nuetral. Worked for me..happens once in a blue moon now and each time I do that it starts. Good luck..
