2005 Pontiac Sunfire - Page 8 Questions & Answers
2005 Pontiac sunfire wont start,
Well, you may have shot yourself in the foot by cranking the engine until you totally killed the battery. If there were any fault codes in the computer that could lead you to the cause of your engine not running, they are probably gone now, so the car will have to be diagnosed manually.When engines stop running, they almost ALWAYS do it suddenly without any warning - so you are not alone. The problem here is that there are probably at least 300 different parts of your car that can be the cause of this. So, I am not surprized that you have been told that it COULD be so many different things. The fact-of-the-matter is that NOBODY can tell you with any certainty what is going on with your car without FIRST performing some diagnostics to eliminate certain possibilities.The only way any of that is going to happen with any efficiency, is to get the battery charged back up first. NOTHING on your car works properly with a discharged battery. Only after the battery is charged can the other systems be tested.
It cranks but will not start
Post this question again. Let us know what's going on. Be descriptive. Any lights illuminated on the dash when this happens? Does the engine start, then stall? Does it backfire? Any problems leading up to this? Will help you get a better response.
