I had that same problem either your alternator is gone bad, might need a ignition module which is under your dist. cap, or just check to see if u are gettin fire up to your dist. cap

Check cables that go to the starter, check oil level,depending on year,check wires from starter,try to start car in "p" and "n". if car engine cranks check fuel pressure.

Buick rendezvous gear shifts just fine but car won't move. No grinding shifting is smooth and flawless vehicle just will not move forward whether it is in drive, 1st, 2nd, or third gear. Reverses and

Sounds as if forward driving gears are shot. Different gears make vehicle move in reverse. I would ask if transmission fluid level when checked is in the operation range or full.

Hello, I drive a toyota camry. The last two days, everytime I start my car it will beep 4 times, and then tonight while I was driving home it did it again, only while I was driving. No dash lights on, not...

Beeping can often be a reminder that the car is due for a service, or that there is a fault with the vehicle and it is trying to remind you to visit a service centre. Check your dash for any warning lights or service messages.

Starting Problem

Have you checked the alternator? Check engine light on? Every vehicle is different but if the charge system isnt functioning or wearing out, certain accessories that have a high drain will not function as a warning sign that the charge system is failing. Were their other warning signs that you might have missed? Low power to dash lights or even head lights.... stereo resetting? My guess would be coil pack or alternator

What does a yellow triangle on my Mitsubishi Outlander Sport mean

It is really confusing when different people have different explanations for this ?? Sign . I had the same warning sign today flashing on My Mitsubishi Outlander 2016 MY17 and I found conflicting explanations on different online forums which was not satisfactory. I even called local and National Mitsubishi customer services and I was told to bring down the vehicle to the service station and they also said that they don’t know what the ?? signs indicates . Pretty bizarre ! Pertinent to mention here that this warning ?? sign states displaying on the panel this morning when I was driving from home to work and I was running low on ?? as low fuel warning started displaying at the same time . Anyway later in the afternoon I went to refuel my car at a nearest petrol station and topped it up and turned on the ignition and the ?? sign was no more displaying on the panel. I also read that this ?? Sign can displaying indicating low tyre pressure or in my case low fuel pressure . I think there is nothing to be worried about unless the ?? Sign keeps displaying .
Thanks

Vehicle stalled out while driving, will not kick over

There is no carb, either throttle body or fuel injection.If it was fuel related it would not cause all the lights to come on.Sounds like electrical and will have to be tracked down and diagnosed. Your computer may have gone out but that has to be diagnosed.

Corsica stalls at stop signs

sounds like the EGR valve is sticky, take a small screw driver and tap the valve when the engine is at idle and you will notice a change in the way the engine runs, if the vehicle smooths out disconnect the valve and drive the vehicle and it should not cut off please let me know and dont forget to rate me!!

All dash warning lights came on while driving. oil light, brake light, coolant light, battery light. car continued to run. once home turned off and now wont start. warning lights still come on and car...

Hatterasnc,

You're alternator has gone bad and the vehicle was running on battery power. The "clicking" sound is your now dead battery that does not have enough power to turn over the starter. You might also want to check your power steering pump for leak. This is a know problem with early LS400s and will most likey be the cause of the alternator failure. I just dropped $1050.00 to fix the very same promblems you have.
