I just bought a 89 camaro RS with a V6 2.8L engine...when I test drove it it was kind of hard to get it started took like 5 min to start just turnig the key...the guy said it had not been started for a while and the gas was probably really old...( i believed him because one of the tires was flat and i always saw it outside the shop for about 2 months) He always seem to get it to start after a while...i though maybe the battery was dead (because it looked pretty old) but wasnt sure.
Well I bought it pretty cheap...the engine looks great (only 80K miles) and tranny shifts perfect, but latelly i have not been able to start it at all...
the battery is brand new so thats not the problem...It doesnt even crank or click when i turn the key though...the lights turn on and the gages work + A/C but like i said the engine does not even crank or try to turn on...


Please help (i think the problem is the starter but not sure)

Thanks

 

Could be a few things. It could be your ignition switch, park/neutral (Or clutch if manual) switch, VATS (Vehicle Anti-theft), Starter relay (Located behind the driver side kick panel), Starter, Battery cables, Bad ground, Blown fuse, After market alarm or remote start system.

I think that should cover just about everything it might be. I would start by checking your fuses and battery voltage. Then testing the voltage to the trigger wire on the starter solenoid. If it has power when the key is in the start position then the starter is bad or not getting enough voltage to crank. Otherwise work your way back from there testing the voltage until you find the defective part.
