Car Starting Problems

It is inside the fuel tank. It can be accessed through an access hole under the back seat.

sounds like the starter or alternator

Cause is the passlocks contact behind the lock, The female end in the housing section are corroded and a simple solution would be to spray a very small amount of electrical lubricant or wd40 and the the security system should detect the new ignition when inserted.

If your starter is dead, you won't be going anywhere until it gets fixed,automatic or not.

Timing is way off or spark plug wires incorrectly connected.

como reseteart una alarma viper 500 esp se activo y no puedo restablecer la alarma

How do I remove the front shock bottle pin of my Isuzu rodeo 2000

It could be as simple as replacing the ignition key. Each key has a chip that comunicates directly with the car. If the chip goes bad, the car's starter will turn over, but the engine will not start. There is no after market key that will work. You must purchase them from a dealer. Costly little buggers, roughly around $150....... what kind of vehicle is this?

That's not a question. Try asking"Why won't my ford escort start?"

The starter on 4th generation (1995-1999) Nissan Sentras is very easy to locate and replace. It is a mostly-black cylinder, about 9 or 10" long and 3" thick, that sits on the front center of the engine. It is held on by 2 bolts, and has 2 wires connected. The 2 bolts come off easily, one of the wires simply comes unplugged easily, and the other has a small bolt holding it on.

Replacement may involve removing a bracket that holds the throttle (gas pedal) in a certain position, because there may not be enough room to work with that bracket in place. Removing and replacing that bracket (which is held onto the engine block by 2 bolts), does not affect the operation of the car.

If this is the first time the starter is having issues, replacement can be put off for a couple weeks by taking a small hammer (or something similar) and hitting the starter. Don't hit it too hard, but don't be too gentle. It might take several hits to get it to work. This is only a temporary solution. The starter WILL have to be replaced eventually.

If you have a carborater on the engine remove the air filter housing to expose the carb... with a small hammer (no realy) tap lightly on the front part of the carb, closest to the rad and try to re-start. The float could be stuck open and this will help to release it. The carb may need a re-build...

check you fuel pressure if it is to low the car will try to start but will not.this happend to a friend of mine and it was the fuel pump,replaced it car has been running fine.hope this helps you:)

Look for a blown fuse or burnt fuseabke link.

battery??? and the conections, if your getting this from a diagnostic, it might be your timeing...

Any relay can intermittently stick on or off depending on if it is an normally open or closed relay. most consist of a metallic contact that acts up due to heat to make the contact or some are electronic but in either case they can stick and sometimes they can release themselves, best way to tell is swap out a known good relay.

The 1997 Toyota fuel pump fuse is located in the fuse box. The fuse box can be found in the engine compartment.

you craped in it

i had the same problem with my 93 gmc it ended up being my cillinoid, sorry but i dont know how to spell it

out of gas prbably

: If anything, try replacing the fuel pump relay (about $17.00 part) before you do anything too expensive. I spent about $1200 replacing the computer and the pump and finally replacing the relay worked. It almost looks like a fuse and should be possibly located under the glove box (at least it was on my 95). Good luck.

try reseting comp. disconect battery for an hour or 2 if that dose not work go to libaire get the chiltons guid to your f-body and see if theres another way to reset Your not going to like this but the only way to get the anti-theft system to disengage is to get a dealership to hook it up to a machine and the will reprogram the car's engine brain or ECU so the engine and be started.

the fuel injectors sensors are turned off by the anti-theft device ? my 99 blazer did this and had to reset the device.. turn key on and to the start position leave on for 10 minutes , then try to start it , if it doesn't start just repeat this .. one mechanic says it had to be done 3 three times in a row. in order to fix the problem.. i learned this, only after replacing a working fuel pump .......... who knew! the fuel injectors sensors are turned off by the anti-theft device ? my 99 blazer did this and had to reset the device.. turn key on and to the start position leave on for 10 minutes , then try to start it , if it doesn't start just repeat this .. one mechanic says it had to be done 3 three times in a row. in order to fix the problem.. i learned this, only after replacing a working fuel pump .......... who knew! I have been experiencing the same problem, I have changed the fuel filter several times, and replaced the fuel pump the problem still exists. As far as I can see the only thing left to change is the fuel pressure regulator?

solenoid or relay switch

Replace the idle air control valve right below the throtle body this can be a very expensive part so go to a u pull it junk yard

The Traction Control Circuit on your automatic transmission has noticed a difference in rotational speed (RPM) of the two drive wheels. If it comes on when the tires are not slipping, then a mechanic should be consulted.
