My 2002 trans am will spin over but will not run unless you jump it i put a new battery and new cables. Even tried the battery out of a freind of mines car just to be sure. Im not sure if its a ground problem or maybe a short or something. the alternator is putting out 14.8v. The car it will cranks up on its own for a little while after the jump but if you wait about 15 mins it starts back just spinning. Im not sure what to check. Someone please help lol

 

Starter should have 1 smaller terminal that only gets one wire (in a 3rd gen it's purple). ALL other wires got to the larger terminal, including the positive batt cable.

Other than that, you're going to have to find a 4th gen board maybe - some of us 3rd gen guys have some 4th gen knowledge, but you're really limiting yourself asking here.

 

yes the starter has the purple wire and its hooked up is there a way to check it? I did post on a 4th gen website i just wanted to see what you guys would think could be wrong
