Car Starting Problems

Determine the problem and see if you can fix it or not. If you cannot determine what's wrong then find someone that can. A trick to starting a vehicle is to pump the gas while you turn the key in the ignition. There are a million different reasons as to why a truck won't start.

Sounds like a loose or worn out belt on the engine.

Check the ignition circuit in the Storm. Start by checking the crank position sensor, then the coil pack to find the lack of spark.

No, timing is not adjustable. If timing is not correct a part has failed.

Typically Chevrolet coil packs in the 90's are located on top of the distributor in the center. There is a cover in the middle of the distributor cap which is usually held on by 2 or 4 screws. (You should not have to remove the entire distributor cap to access it) Then the coil is held in place by either 2 screws, one on the center of each side or 4 screws, one in each corner. Then you just have to unplug the two wire clips on the front. Pay close attention when removing the coil, when you lift it out there will be a rubber pad underneath which will have a small bit that has a spring attached, it is called a carbon brush or a carbon bit or something like that but just be sure to remember how it is sitting in there. I believe the spring should point up but I can't remember if it sits above or below the rubber pad. When you install the new coil you may have to bend the connectors on the end of the positive and negative wires coming off of the coil pack. Some run straight in line and some run at a 90 degree angle to each other, but the new clips are always straight and if your connectors are set at a 90 degree angle you will have to bend the new clip. Just look at the connectors on the old coil pack and you can figure it whether you have to bend the new ones or not.

replace your starter assembly

I have not worked on a Camry; however many cars have a fuse/relay or a fuse link (special fuse wire)between the battery and the starter in case of a short circuit. If this is blown ,no power will be delivered to the starter.Check your under hood fuse box for a START cicuit( it might be called something else. I am never afraid to go down to the local dealer, walk back to the shop, and ask to speak to the service manager/mechanic. They are familiar with these problems and will answer your question.

A weak spark can be caused by a faulty ignition coil, or perhaps bad spark plug wires.

Dead battery, out of fuel, failed starter, failed computer, failed fuel pump, etc.

If you use very much and very often, potentially, yes.

Occasional use seems to not be much of a problem.

fuel pressure regulator ? linkage(s) gas ped ect. fuel lines, injector system.

It should be on the drivers side underdash. here is a large group of wires under the hood that bolts up to it. Culprit could be an ignition pickup or PCM. Do you have spark and does it stay sparking or does it start to spark and then stop?

Flight discounts for seniors can typically be found directly through the booking site you'd buy normal tickets from. Any bonuses or discounts are usually applied on checkout, so you will have the opportunity to declare any discounts at that time.

Possible reasons why you have no spark:

Bad ignition module

Bad pickup coil

Bad engine control module

Wiring issues

you should have fuel injection if this is the case either the injectors are bad or the circuit that controls the injectors are faulty

Each desert has its statistics and temperatures can vary from desert to desert. Temperatures in the Antarctic Desert can plunge to over 100 degrees F. below zero or be has high as 140 degrees F. above zero in the Sahara or Mojave Desert.

If you are saying that you have reason to believe that the battery is charged, yet the starter won't crank the engine, it could be: starter, Neutral/park lockout switch, Bad electrical connection or Keyswitch.

the key needs to be programed there is a small chip in the key ask a main dealer they might do it for nothing or tell you how to do it

if it is a gm with the little resistor chip in it you could try to cleand the chip with alcohol to remove oils from skin and such

Weak battery, or starter going bad.

Sounds like a very weak battery.
