I have been able to get it to start after a few tries but this morning it refused. I added Heet to the gas and it still would not start. I just need it to go one more time so I can get it into the repair shop. Any suggestions? way2old Veteran / Moderator Nov 28, 2007, 6:46 PM Post #2 of 3 (1429 views) Re: Car won't start Sign In Have you checked the battery ot the cables? A weak battery can work all the accessories and not have enough amperage to turn the starter. Corrosion on tha cables can do the same thing. If you can jump start it, I would say the battery is bad. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds Vinnysnismo User Nov 29, 2007, 11:49 AM Post #3 of 3 (1419 views) Re: Car won't start Sign In If all you hear is a click, your problem might be the starter solenoid going out. Will the motor crank over or does it just sit there. is the battery dead? If you have a bad cell in the battery it will not hold a charge, but if the battery is charged then look toward the starter. Can you jump start it without any problems? A friend of mine has a chevy blazer and his ignition switch is going out, but it acts like the starter. it takes him 3 or 4 times of wiggleing the key for it to want to start.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
