help. no start. need fixed asap

[zblackbeast]

my 93 died at work today.. It gets power but when I turn the key there is NOTHING. no clicks, nothing. I think it might be the clutc interlock switch..

 

[Vnuk1]

Assuming you checked all your connections for loose and corroded wires?

 

[zblackbeast]

I'm waiting for AAA to come but untill them I can't get under the front because the guy driving it drove to far in the parking sopt and its down hill.. lol but battery wise everythings tight and everthing else seems to be getting power other than the starter.

 

[Vnuk1]

I suppose you can't try jumping the Solenoid?

X2 on what Vnuk said. Try sticking a screwdriver or somthing across the Starter Slolidnoid. If you don't have any tools, try using the lug nut wrench.

x3 happened to me

i replaced the starter relay/solenoid and it started right up after a good jump

 

[zblackbeast]

aight. i got it home. ill get some pix up of the tow soon!! Ill see if i cant get it fixed tonight!

 

[zblackbeast]

Same thing.. Nothing. I replaced the solenoid on the starter and nothing.. Whats next? I hear a click when i turn the key to run by the air box.. IDK exactly what it is, but it clicks...

...when i turn the key to run by the air box.

I know what it is! :wave:

You key is supposed to be inserted on your steering column in a little slot. Not by you airbox. That's why your not getting anything.

exatcly what happened to me when i replaced the starter solenoid/relay

i tried starting it and it clicked by the air box (which is where my relay is at) i gave it a good jump and it started up after about 5 minutes

also check the solenoid again to make sure you didnt break any of the terminals that connect to it

 

[zblackbeast]

when you say jump it, do you mean connect the battery to my other SHO or what?

yes that is exactly what i mean

[zblackbeast]

Just did that. nothin.. should i unplug the battery for a while or let it sit connect for a while?

un plug the battery for about 3 minutes then hook it back up , then jump the car,


did you check the terminals on the solenoid?

that was what worked for me

 

[zblackbeast]

The solenoid is BRAND new. i just put it in last night.. but ill go check again.. ill bring my computer out with me!

cause i replaced my solenoid and in the mean time i broke the fuel pump Terminal going to the solenoid

i was wondering why it was cranking but no start, then i realized i couldn't here my fuel pump check out the solenoid and found my problem. and let the car sit for while when it is being charged , don't just start it up right away let that battery juice up a bit for about 5 to ten minutes then give it a shot

 

[zblackbeast]

Terminals are fine. nice and tight. i got fuel cause the pump is kicking on.. just no cranking still. battery is unplugged. check back in like 10 min!!

well if your terminals are good and after you charge it for awhile if it doesnt start then im stumped because the problem your having is exactly like the one your dealing with , it would click at first when i first installed it it would click, then after i charged the battery for about ten minutes it stopped clicking, but that is when i found out i had broke a terminal , fixed the terminal and it started right up

 

[zblackbeast]

Bridged the terminals and it sparked but did nothing... Im pretty sure its the starter now!
