  • POS won't start again, I need help!

    This is pissing me off soooo much, I have zero patience for this.

    What I know:

    Battery fully charged.
    Turn key in ignition and fule pump comes on and fuel lines are full.
    Purge, master, nitrous etc all work.
    Starter was replaced last weekend.
    All fuses checked and are fine.
    All relays checked and are fine.
    No SES codes

    After starter was replaced car started up beautifully several times.

    Now, it won't start.

    WTF is it?????

    I will probably post this in a couple sections because I was planning on leaving at 2:30 today to run... that f*cking ain't happening now.

    Help, please help.

      Are you getting fuel? Spark?

        Starter doesn't crank?

        do you have a way to see if the starter is getting voltage? (test light or multimeter while someone tries to crank the motor?)

        Have another battery you can try? Can you jump it?, knowing you, you have a crazy super lightweight battery, might not hold a charge so well.

                  volt meter :drool: could it be the solenoid though??? there should be 2 wires...main power and a small one to tell the starter to engage if you have someone to help you put the volt meter on the little wire and try and turn it over...if you get voltage, the solenoid went bad.

                      dont you have all those nifty computer programs??? I know with the tech2 you can see what position the trans is in and what it's commanded to be in....I though you guys could do all that stuff with the tuner software?

                          get a long wire attach that too the little wire then run that up into the car hooked up to your voltmeter and try cranking it.

                          and Ive had brand new starters that didnt work...
