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.

Probably a weak battery or the starter drive is stuck.
Cheaper to turn it off.
It can. It can also be uneven fuel supply, poor tuning. Older engines sometimes show their age by stalling under a heavy load at low rpm. Why is the battery poor?
is the fuel filter istalled correctly in from fuel line out to engine. PS won't be the first person to install it backwards
Why Remote starter starts car but drains battery?
I think (I don't know for sure) that it may have something to do with the way remote car starters are designed -in particular, the units' signal receiving device (what ever the discreetly attached antenna, usually on the upper corner of the windshield inside your car cabin, thingy is called).
I noticed that the LED flashes very brightly, and/or stays lit -equally bright depending on the mode its in (24/7, whenever the vehicle is not being driven. While driving the said LED is not on, thank God). This LED can literally light up a darken single garage to the point where you'd be able walk without needing to turn on the garage light (that is the case with my remote starter unit, and it's a 2013 model).
Therefore, I think perhaps one might be able to draw one conclusion; that such a constant drain on the car battery can't be healthy over time for the battery's overall health -as the LED is constantly using up power (despite the fact that the car battery does "self-replenish").
This is LED "issue" is certainly one contribution that I can think of even without any knowledge of electronics.
I hope I am wrong about this, cause I have the same concern. : )
Tapping noise when I start the car?
ck your oil level make sure it is up to the top line........................you have a clasped lifter does it quite down when it gets warm
Your 2006 dodge stratus wont start and just keeps clicking What is wrong?
Sounds like a battery problem. Check the battery. Clean and tighten the battery terminals and cable ends.
Where is the starter on an 86 Chevy Caprice Classic V8 5.0?
Drivers side, bottom of the motor, beside oil pan really close to the front of the transmission. Follow the red (+) wire from the battery and it will lead you to the starter.
Why would a Hyundai Sonata crank a long time but won't start?
I am working on the same problem in a 1999 Elantra Wagon, and have read that it could be the crank sensor. Hope this helps. here are a couple of possiblities: bad crank sensor, broken or jumped timing belt, bad fuel pump, bad cam sensor. Answer was this the only problem or was the transmission not shifting before too?
What can be wrong when there is gas in the oil and the car wont start?
An injector is probably sticking and causing "wash down". Gasoline can then leak past the cylinder walls and get into the oil. That much fuel in the cylinder will make it impossible to start the engine. I'd also check the fuel pressure regulator
Is your motor ruined if you used ether to start your 6.2 diesel engine?
NO unless you use to much in one shot it could bend your push rods (vapor lock) little amounts of ether will not harm it
oh ya one more thing never use ether if you are using the glow plugs
Car won't start loud fast clicking noise?
A loud fast clicking noise is usually indicative of a low battery or a loose cable.
Can not having gas cause a car not to start?
You are correct. If you have no fuel, there is nothing to combust in the internal combustion engine under your hood. If you suspect this is the case, you can use a bit of what is called starting fluid to see if you car will fire and begin to run. Starting fluid is sold in small spary cans at any auto parts store, and it is fairly cheap. You spray a good shot into the air intake and try to start your car. As the starting fluid hits the intake manifold and is taken into the cylinders, the engine will "try to start" but will not run. This is an indication that you have a fuel problem.
What would cause a 1991 Camaro v6 3.1 motor not to start. i replaced the spark plugs and wires?
Well, if everything is in good condition (cables, spark plugs, battery, etc, etc.) it could be the VATS anti theft system. From what I understand, this system is a problem on the later model third gens. Check your instrument panel when you attempt to crank that car. If you see a light come on that says "Security," that's it. What is supposed to happen is when you put your key into the ignition, the circuit is completed with the antitheft system and if the resistance provided by the chip in the key matches the resistance standard in the VATS module, the car is able to crank up. There's a resistor chip built into the key (you can't mistake it). Some people measure the resistance of their chip in the key(there are 15 different resistance values) and wire a little resistor like you can buy from Radio Shack with the same value onto the circuit side of the connector. If it doesnt crank then, you either have the wrong resistor or something else is wrong.
Answeri had the same problem with my 91 camaro v6 i got a new battery,accelerator. and starter it turned out i needed a new cablescould also be the timing on the engine. have the timing checked
Answervague..starting is a common problem with this kind of car. there are three main solutions, and they are easy to diagnose. this could go for any car. if car does not crank, it is the battery. you can recharge the battery with a jump, but you'll need to replace the battery soon. so if that's the case, use another car to jump the maro and limp on over to the nearest auto parts store to get a new battery. if engine cranks, and engine does not even fumble, or misfires so deeply, then this is a sign that theres no ignition, or too much resistance along the way to spark. you can take a multimeter to every wire to check this, from the distributor to elsewhere. if engine turns, and with hard press on accelerator, it catches and then fumbles, its a fuel system problem. replace filter, and if you can run engine with enough hard accel, try to use injector cleaner as instructed. there is the possibility of vaccuum leaks, but this is a problem which tends to build over time and effect all situations of driving.
Could be ignition coil bad.
ANSWER
Ihad the same problem and it turned out that is was a bad fuel pressure regulator and bad injector
check the knock sensor connector just above the starter on the block or the wires on the solenoid on the starter i have the same car as ur's and I've replaced just about everything on it except for the block & rear
Check your fuel filter/ pump. The pump is in the tank.
Why does the starter click but not turn over 97 Plymouth voyger?
there could be wut they call a ''rough spot' in your starter.. it could mean your starter is going bad.. if your tight on cash, give your starter a whack with something heavy then try starting it again. WATCH OUT, ONLY HIT THE STARTER!
Why will your 07 kx250f not start when cold but will start easily after it has been ridden?
i will tell you what me and my friend did we tryed cleaning the carb but didn't work what i rcomend is to find a good hill or if you have a trolly is force start it or just take it to you're local mechanic
What is wrong when the starter wont click?
The battery is dead, the connection is bad, the terminals are corroded, the starter is bad, the solenoid is bad.
Why wont my truck start after it ran out of gas but gas is in it now?
Have you tried checking the fuel pump. i had a friend burn his out after he ran it empty.
The sensor can be checked by the use of an ohm meter on the sensor terminals. Unfortunately I do not have the specific data for this vehicle.
