Car Starting Problems

on the passenger side next the oil pan

check for power to starter; check fusable links at positive battery connection, can you jump starter directly with power source? if not maybe the starter should be taken out and inspected/bench tested. given the year I suspect wiring/connection issues. a worn out ignition switch would be common for this age of vehicle. check operation of starter relay. check for power to starter; check fusable links at positive battery connection, can you jump starter directly with power source? if not maybe the starter should be taken out and inspected/bench tested. given the year I suspect wiring/connection issues. a worn out ignition switch would be common for this age of vehicle. check operation of starter relay. check for power to starter; check fusable links at positive battery connection, can you jump starter directly with power source? if not maybe the starter should be taken out and inspected/bench tested. given the year I suspect wiring/connection issues. a worn out ignition switch would be common for this age of vehicle. check operation of starter relay. check for power to starter; check fusable links at positive battery connection, can you jump starter directly with power source? if not maybe the starter should be taken out and inspected/bench tested. given the year I suspect wiring/connection issues. a worn out ignition switch would be common for this age of vehicle. check operation of starter relay. check for power to starter; check fusable links at positive battery connection, can you jump starter directly with power source? if not maybe the starter should be taken out and inspected/bench tested. given the year I suspect wiring/connection issues. a worn out ignition switch would be common for this age of vehicle. check operation of starter relay.

I'm having the same trouble - please e-mail me if you ever found out the trouble to yours. rzsiemperperdido@sbcglobal.net

To send electrical voltage to the starter when engaged.

The temp sensor helps tell the engine how to mix the air and fuel to compensate for air temperature. If this isn't working then the air fuel mix can be off and cause rough idle.

Low battery voltage .?

I'm not totally sure because I have to see it and take a look but it sounds like your starter is going bad. Either that or I would say that it is the solenoid switch gone bad. If this doesn't answer your question please go into better detail because I would like to help you figure tha problem out. :-)

a control unit works by this other thing that makes it work but it also saves things.

my polo playa struggles to start, battery light goes on , ignition works but still nothing . Think it could be the fuel pump

Probably a missing spacer between starter and engine block,may have fallen out during change over

There are a number things that can cause no ignition spark. A typical ignition system consists of an ignition module, ignition coil, some type of stator or pickup (distributer pickup, crank sensor, etc), plug wires that carry secondary ingition fire to the plugs(some have no wires, but individual coils directly on top of the spark plugs), spark plugs, wiring that provides primary power to the componets, wiring that provides grounds to the system, and some cars have a distributer(though distributers have been getting phased out for about the last 10-15 years). Anything at all in that system that has failed will cause no spark to one or more cylinders.

Sounds like the battery has a dead cell

It's typically either a discharged battery or a poor battery connection. Batteries are only an electrical storage device. If the alternator isn't keeping the battery adequately charged you could have the problem you describe. But rather than running right out and replacing the battery, first charge it and see if it will hold a charge overnight. Sometimes, if something is left on inside the car it will run the battery down sufficiently to cause what you describe. Other times it's the alternator, dirty battery terminal or even a worn out battery, but you can't know until you test these components.

catch a ride to the nearest auto parts store & buy a "slimjim"

Not sure if this will help ya or not but I use to work on hummers for the army. when our diesel's did that it was the glow plugs. So you might replace what ever part on there it is that makes the fuel ignight. I don't know much about regular diesel engines.

Have you checked to see if the security system is shutting you down?

Try the fuel pump relay

The specs call for the engine to be timed correctly for proper operation. Hope this helps!

Jump it, there is not enough power to starter. Ensure alternator and battery are good.

Your 1993 Dodge Caravan might start sometimes and not start other times because of a bad starter or solenoid. You might also have a weak battery or a charging system that is not working correctly. This could also be an issue with the distributor.

What are the three elements needed in order to make an engine run. You need air, fuel and spark, minus one from this equation and you get nothing. So, with that said go through your check list for your electrical and fuel system.

It's probably the battery is dead.

doese it have gas and fire

It is the part of the starter where the gears that engaged with the flywheel are installed. The bendix contains the gear, clutch, and spring in one unit.
