Are you getting power at the starter? did this problem happen after you relocated the battery?

[skiboard06]

try taking a long screwdriver and touch the two terminals together on the starter, if this turns ur car over then the problem is not ur starter. make sure car is out of gear

a big problem with people is that they think all they need is a big power going to the starter but to complete the path for current flow you also need a good ground.... You need to make SURE! that you engine has 2-4 good ground wires. -8 gauge wire is good any smaller is iffy

I got three ideas for you.

1) Learn how to spell
2) Learn how to punctuate/capatilize
3) Learn proper grammar


With these three skills alone, someone other than a four year old retarded child may be able to assist you.

1) Send me my package that I paid for...

Hey 94ccord... I have 3 ideas
1) keep posts in threads on topics
2) settle personal grievances outside of public eye
3) stop following people around every thread they post in to try and force action.


... that is your warning, next time I take action.

Now back to topic. Check the starter relay located near the battery. It has a blue colored shell with 2 connectors plugged into it. Use a test light and crank start the car to check which connector lights up the test light when you crank it. Use a paper clip aka jumper between the two terminals and see if the car starts. Use the FSMs to get a better understanding of your car as well.

thanx guys sure 1 of these will help besides the d-bag who runs his mouth

[ledzeppelin240]

When you say car doesn't start do you mean does not crank or doesn't run?

If it doest crank check for 12V(battery voltage) at the start terminal on the solenoid, if thats a right then, your start relay, ignition switch all work. Check you voltage drops on the starter and battery cables. Voltage drop for a ground should be no more than 0.2-0.4volts.

Dude WHAT the F*CK?

You're a complete jerk, you know? This guy is obviously doing his best to get his car started, isn't some lame ass who won't attempt mods on his own, and all he's getting from you is a bunch of bullshit about spelling and grammar? What a dick.

I hope people were REALLY arrogant, rude and belittling to you when you first got into the game and started wrenching for yourself.

People like you really piss me off.

Fuck off assbag. No one was ever rude to me because I have a shred of intelligence and didn't need someone to hold my hand. I began wrenching at 14, and I NEVER needed anyone's help. That's what research is for. Search functions, service manuals, general common sense are all I've ever needed.
The point I was making, and the same one I made in a PM to the poster when he attacked me, is simple.
If you can't read or understand someone's post, how can you help them? You can't. I answer a ton of questions all the time, here, on other forums, through emails, phone calls, etc., but all of them are worded decently enough that I can understand it. I don't read ebonics, slang, or whatever this new age langauge is you kids use. If it was written in Italian I'd say the same thing.
Plus, most people ignore poorly worded or written posts and blow them off as some mindless 4yr old playing with the keyboard who doesn't really need help, or who wouldn't be able to put that help to good use anyway. By making a post legible there's a better chance it will get answered quicker and more concisely.
If you can't understand that, maybe you should reconsider your view point.

check for spark and fuel. I'm assuming your starter is working.

No it's not. Read the first post; as hard as that is.

Check battery voltage with a multi-meter or a volt-meter.
Does it click? If not, replace starter. Check the relay too.

Is there a particular reason you have been behaving like such a *expletive deleted* to people here lately? Mommy didn't hug you enough as a child? Well here goes, we will not tolerate any further personal attacks of people here, next one sees you pinked for a while to cool off.
