Car wont start. Just recently had the engine swapped worked for like 3 or 4 wks. For some reason was driving and engine just died. No funny noises, or stuttering just felt like lost power. Battery is working well, dash fully functions, lights, everything inside the car. Fuel pump primers. It just wont start. Was thinking maybe ignitor or coilpacks. But starter wont turnover. Than maybe thought it might starter, but would the starter dying cause the whole engine to die. NEED SOME MAJOR HELP THANKS

Black wire w/yellow stripe wire on the starter, it probably popped off, check to see if its connected.

oh that is suppose to be on the starter?

mine is on my intake manifold...just a ground cable...hmmm might need to check mine, it has been harder to start than normal.

check all your grounds around the charging system and also your battery cables

ur alternator could have taken a shit and it drained ur battery. battery can be dead and the clock and radio may still work but not enough juice to turn the motor over. try jumping ur car off another car. then undo the jumper cables and if your car dies then that's another indication ur alternator's not charging. u can always grab a multimeter once you fully charge ur battery and if you're not getting (13.8-14.3volts) anything more than battery voltage (typicall 12.6volts) then you know either your alternator's poop, there's something going on in your lower harness, or your alternator fuse is popped.

gl check some of these things out and post back,

s13400hp · 06-03-2008, 08:51 PM
