Car Starting Problems

my 2000 nissan altima wont start has new radiator and spark plugs the computer test shows no problems it recently overheated

souds like your fuel sock in the gas tank is getting clogged,then when you shut it off it releases the suction and the car can now suck gas again drop the tank unscrew the top and replace the fuel sock,plus clean out the tank or it will happen again Have it checked for codes, check the fuel pressure after it dies.

Go to you local library and get the repair book, its free to use or a few cents to copy.

Most people don't have the experience to repair a starter. in those cases it's typically best to purchase a new or rebuilt starter.

Sounds like you might have a bad starter solenoid. Test your battery terminals first to see if they are loose or corroded.

hit the starter with a hammer as ur trying to startr it an if it starts than its ur starter lol dats what i do to my 92 dodge colt. i dont have a hammer but i do hav a tool to change spark plugs and when my car doesnt start i tap the starter then try to start it and it usually starts.

timing belt, out of fuel, fuel pump failure, loss of fire.

The car is stalling for a mechanical reason possibly engine overheating theyres no reason it should naturally cut off...unless the engine is too hot and its protecting itself.it could also shake if its low on gas...my 1989 dodge spirit shakes when low on gas and jerks

it is out of time or the plug wires are connected incorrectly.

when you turn the key does it make a clicking sound? if the battery still comes on and everything works, but when you go to turn it it "clicks" that usually means its the starter

starter's are very easy to replace yourself, and they cost aroun 100 bucks

if you decide to take the maters into your own hand, you will have to first...

1: take the positive connector off your car battery

2: un plug the 02 sensor on your starter (usually not right on the starter, but on the cable that link to it, and usually covered in plastic)

3: unscrew all the cords etc. on the starter (battery cable) (sensor) etc..

4:unscrew the bolts connecting it to your car (usually just 2)

and remember where EACH individual screw goes

then take it to a car shop and they will check it our for free and tell you if its running or not, and if its not.. obviously buy a new one

it will usually cost around 150$ and then put it on your car by doing all those steps in reverse

good luck!

IT COULD BE THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR OR THE IN TANK FUEL PUMP

Fuseable links in the automotive/truck and industrial world come in various wire gauge sizes due to the need to carry different current loads. The common size for most American cars build before to 90's is 14 gauge, but can vary if the car was heavily optioned with electrical devices that might be fed by the main wire. Normally this wasn't the case even though I have seen factory 12 and 16 gauge but they were rare.

I dont know what kind of car u are talking about,but it souns like it could be the coolant temp sensor.

is your check engine light on? I had that happen to my car. It would turn on then "die". (The rpm needle would go all the way down, wouldn't move in drive) and it was because the car had no oil in it. It leaks like crazy o I always have to put more oil in along with this no-smoke anti-leak stuff. Also, check your ignition coil. It may need to be replaced.

i have no spark from coil..i was driving down the road and it just quit

The dwell for the points should be 30 degrees. The spark plug gap should be .040".

There are many relays in that vehicle. We need to know which one you are looking for.

Your engine overheated for whatever reason.

I just baught 2004 toyota tacoma and radio didn't work. The radio worked after I replaced a 15AM burned fuse, later I noticed the key got stuck in the ignition which wasn't a problem before i replaced the burned fuse. The only way I got the key out of the ignition was after a removed the newly installed fuse. Now every time i wanna listen to music i have to plug back the 15AM fuse, and unpluge it to remove it from ignition,, good exercises lol.

Need more info on that one! Will it crank over? does it make any sound when you turn the key? If you would like me to help you contact weiser772@aol.com with your car make, model and year as the subject and give me some details on what it will do!

how calibrate spark pulg for suzuky verona 2005?

You should never need to do that with an injected vehicle, and if it's not injected you might just need to adjust the choke. when you say "pump the gas" I assume you have a carbureted engine. The action of pumping cause the acceleration pump to put extra fuel into the intake manifold for cold weather starting. You may want to look at your choke system to insure it is closing when the engine gets cold. Theoretically you should only have to push down on the accelerator pedal one time to set fast idle speed, however as engines age,especially carburetted engines, carbon build up on the intake valves does not allow for proper atomization of the fuel in colder weather so it takes a few extra shots to accomplish this.

I would suggest replacing it if someome stole it - otherwise if your car is young -look for causes of poor spark operations in the plug wires and related spark supply components. Usually, a distributor needs to be replaced when it is worn or malfunctioning and repair or rebuild of the distributor in no longer possible, or would cost more than replacing it.

Any type you can think of.
