wierd problem starting..
wierd problem starting..
So if I use the Key starting the car.. You will most likely hear some sort of voltage electricution type noise, and it takes the engine super long to turn over....
However i installed a Remote Starter Wire.. with a switch..
And when i turn the key forward.. but not to start..
And i use my remote starter switch..
Car starts Beauitful
keep in mind .. i dont know why this is... but using the key to start the car.. used to work, then it wouldnt, then it used to work again... and then it didnt work.... but now.. it does work.. but makes extreamly bad noise's, so im going to continue to use the remote switch..
Anyone have any thoughts..
also.. my coil might be bad.. and the car needs a tune up, still.

Sounds like a bad ignition switch..not a ignition cylinder(one key fits in) ..its located on top the steering column underneath the dash.You basically by-passed it with your remote starter.

ur turning into my right hand man lol...
I have also thought about it being the ignition switch...
my problem is finding it.. but i bet i could.. i wonder if i could try to locate a picture of one. so it would be easier..
u know... there is a serious problem with my car it makes some CRAZY noise's when i try to start it.. like electricity exploding type stuff..
how much is a new ECM and a Ignition switch ? at auto zone ?
