Car Still Wont Start....

things its not:

Starter
Solenoid
ignition switch
ignition Module
Ignition Coil
Ground Cable
Power Cable
Fuseable Link
Fuse(that i can tell)
Vats (tried to bypass)


Its a 305 TPI 89 Iroc-Z. i turn the key and it doesnt do anything. Battery is good at a nice 14.7. Ive replaced or checked all of the above.

the Ignition Enable Relay clicks upon key in Ignition start position.

ive tried jumpering connectors A and E on the jumper for the ignition enable relay...

anyone else have a few bright ideas?

just a click... i think is a starter problem, a search here will show some threads i had that problem once. it turned out to be the starter was bad. would engage the fly wheel but not spin.

teamstaz, what does work when you turn the key? what power items lights, power windows, defrost fan?

Have you tried a remote starter switch? This will quickly determine if the problem is before the starter or the starter itself.

i fixed my problem....


I had purchased a B&M mega shifter about a year and a half prior. The relay that the neutral safety switch and whatnot connected to inside the center console had burnt out.


If you guys have the stock shifter check the small lieele microfuses that connect to your stock shifter.
