  • ignition probelm

    My car has a problem. It thinks i am stealing it. It is not the key chip or anything, cause I used the spare kay thats never been used before, and it still didnt start the first time trying. The car will actually start after 2 tries, or it'll take up to 5 minutes. Is this an easy fixable problem, or will i hafta get it serviced?

      What do you mean "it won't start"? It won't crank or it will crank but not run.

      It could be a fuel pump problem if it will crank but not start. You need to check to see if it is getting spark when it cranks but won't start.
      If it will crank and it is getting spark, then you need to troublshoot the fuel system.

      If it won't crank, it could be a number of other things - neutral safety switch, bad ignition switch, etc...

        if it ust clicks and the security light comes on then i would look in to getting the ignition cylinder checked. if you dont get a security light, then i would check the starter/starter cylinoid.
