Is the engine cranking and not turning over or is it not even cranking? Below are the basic fundamentals that must be in order and in place for any vehicle with an internal combustion engine to start. A fully charged battery A battery capable of accepting a charge A battery capable of delivering a charge An operational starter An operational ignition switch An operational neutral safety switch Fuel must reach all spark plugs? Spark must reach all spark plugs? Fuel must be present at the fuel rail? With the key on and engine off do you here the fuel pump coming on? Are the fuel injectors firing? Is there an excessive exhaust back-pressure issue? Is adequate and proper cylinder compression present in all cylinders? There is more but for now post back the results of the above. redkerri New User Oct 12, 2011, 4:15 PM Post #3 of 4 (5426 views) Re: 91 buick park ave wont start Sign In battery fully charged and brand new.turn key in ignition andlights on dash come on on dash turn key 2 start position and there is a quiet click under glove box area and the battery charge meter regesters a drain but the starter doesnt engage, moter doesnt turn over, the starter doesnt make any noiseat all as if the sylanoid is getting power. fuses seem good . cannot locate starter relay ????????? Old 396 User Oct 12, 2011, 5:59 PM Post #4 of 4 (5417 views) Re: 91 buick park ave wont start Sign In Redkeeri, There is no starter relay. Ignore the clicking sounds coming from behind the dashboard or glove box. Those are just relays being initiated (via voltage), but those relays have nothing to do with the starting of your car. It sounds to me like you could have a defective starter. He's how you are going to check it. Get a second person to sit behind the wheel and turn the key all the way foward to the full start position. The key must be held in this position. Now you check for voltage at the starter solenoid with a test light. If the light (DOES NOT) glow then post back and let us know. If it (DOES) light up then hit the starter and solenoid with a hammer a few times. if the car starts replace the starter, as it is defective.   Email This Post   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
