Hey guys, my car today just died on me i got home from school and when i went to turn it on again about 20 minutes later it dident want to start. well when i turned or tried to turn in on it dident do nothing no noise no click nothing. sterio and lights seemed to work good and they dident dim when i tried to turn it on. well my friend told me it was tha starter. can anyone help me out on this if it is tha starter can someone come fix it for me ill buy the beer or give u a lil something for ur troubles. thanks

 

For some reason I dont think its your starter. is your batter just dead, sometimes it will have enough juice to run your lights and all but not start your car. go to autozne and have them charge it. also get your alternator tested while there. if it turns out to be your starter i have the one off my 89 formula 350 that would work. i just finished putting another starter in my car about half hour ago. let me know. where do you live?

 

If it was your starter it would usually make a clicking sound when you try to start it. I would also try the battery first. After that check the nuetral safety switch. Then I would check the power to the starter. Then the starter.

 

Any updates? I agree with azvolfan, there are a couple different things that I would check, including your VATS unit.

 

Didnt think about the vats. might have just blown that fuse. its located under yur dash. you have to unscrew thecomputer port or whatever you call it but thatswhere the vats fuse is located.

 

well it turned on today. but when it was idleing if i tried to step on tha pedal it would like try to die off. Tha has been happening for a while already but i havemt had tha money to have it checked. dont got a job and im in need of one badly. im going to check tha vats right now if i can find them. anymore ideas what it can be.

 

nuetral switch ? dont know where thats at, power to tha starter? i need help im not really that great on cars. im just learning as i go im still 18 tring to figure out all these things.

 

Do you have a multimeter?

Take your battery out and take it down to AutoZone or Checkers and have them test it. If it's fine then you have a lot more work to do, if it's not, replace it and you should be good to go.

I'll pm you with a couple other things.

 

cg91ta i sent u a message and no i dont got none of those things and its a long walk to carry that batery to autozone i got no way of transportation.

 

you have no friends?

 

yeah i got friends but they dont got cars. i really need to talk to more people with cars hehe i just got here so im still seeing if i find more friends out here.

 

oh ok

Where are you located? If your close, I might be able to give you a hand.
