Starting Issue...And O2 Question...

[Tecchie]

Okay, here is the thing, got to parking space after driving for awhile, shut car off long enough to completely cool, turned key and it would not start, no solenoid, no start motor running... nothing... I tow it home and let it sit over night, I can start it... then turn the engine off and try to start again and nothing... Not sure how old the starter is but yeah...

On the O2, I have a 95 ATX 206k on the clock, and I need to know exact Bosh Part numbers from AutoZone (if possible) where they are located on the car, and how many..

My engine is a 3.2L

Thanks guys!!!:thankyou:

Well FWIW my 95 MTX SHO was having a no start condition that I actually narrowed down to a (very) loose connection on the starter. On the solenoid there are two seperate metal connectors that are secured together with a nut then there is a black plastic connector going to a small metal piece right behind that and that plastic connector would occasionally come loose causing my car to randomly not start. I put it on a bit tighter and it fixed everything.

It may not be that simple in your case but I thought I would throw that out there. Hopefully this helps.

:thankyou: Thank you, I will check that in the morning as there will be daylight... lol

Also, any ideas on the O2's? And can I get to the starter easier from the top or under the car?

EDIT:

Anyone know where to find a COMPLETE *NEW* engine for my car? I tried looking through Autozone and all they can get is a used engine from a National Salvage Yard for $3800... I said **** no, not paying that much for a wrecked one... lol

Starter from under the car, i've had to do this 4 different times... Its real easy.

2 02 sensors, not sure what part number. One of them is a real pain and one is very easy, smaller hands/wrists the better. Probably around 80 for both.

Went under car, all connections are tight and still no start... When the starter DOES work, it's nice and strong and starts the engine fast... I did find a bit of a coolant leak that is dripping down onto the starter, think that might have something to do with it? It's completely wet and so is the tranny pan... it's been sitting for a week or two now...

I need local help!!!! Tried talking to one guy, but he won't return my phone calls, and we were supposed to meet up last saturday at my place, and no call/show.....

I am in the Marysville, WA Area, close to Everett, Snohomish, etc...

O2s have 4 wires for the ATX.

If you could pull the starter at all, I would do that and take it some where to get it tested. From what I have heard it can get damaged from oil, coolant, etc. Its not hard to get it out of the car either so maybe that could be a good place to start. At least that way you'll have a bit more information to work from. Just an idea. It sucks not having your SHO running, I hope you get it narrowed down soon. Good luck

check the neutral saftey switch i had a car that did that, no mechanic could figure it out until i brought it to a electrical guy
