might want to check the starter. the parts stores can test it once its removed. does it turn over or it wont run? people confuse this. if it wont start that is a starting problem. if it wont run that is a fuel or spark problem. to total different thing. if it turns over the starter is good. not running after it turns it can be a number of things. crank sensor or cam sensor. bad ground or many other things. need more information what it is doing?
turn over or run
turning over is cranking but not starting/running
not turning over indicates seized motor , bad battery starter motor problems , bad ground
turning over is cranking but not starting ---broken timing belt/chain, crank/cam position sensors , no fuel , no spark , no injector operation
best run the fault codes as the fauty will be recorded there
Dear Charlie,
May I suggest you take the car to a good (old?) mechanic and have it "changed?".
Right now the fuel pump is hooked to the battery directly, which is why the pump will not turn off.
Please have him hook the pump up so it only runs when the ignition is on.
God bless your efforts.
SOUND LIKE ALTERNATOR NOT CHARGING BATTERY.CHECK BATTERY VOLTAGE SHOULD BE 12.6 VOLTS.MAY SURE BATTERY CABLES CLEAN AND TIGHT.WITH ENGINE RUNNING CHECK ALTERNATOR OUT PUT AT BATTERY.SHOULD BE 13.5 - 14.5 VOLTS WITH ENGINE RUNNING.IF ALTERNATOR FUSE GOOD AND ALTERNATOR BATTERY FEED WIRE AND VOLTAGE REGULATOR WIRES OKAY NOT DAMAGED.DRIVE BELT NOT SLIPPING OR BELT TENSIONER NOT DAMAGED.ALTERNATOR MORE LIKELY FAULTY.TURN OFF RADIO FIRST.BEFORE REMOVING NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE TO KEEP FROM LOSING RADIO CODE.
some times it will and wont what? START? SPARK? what do you mean by turn over? do you mean stay running? cxause turning over is when the motor is spinning but not running
Wont turn over are you sure as wont start is differant than wont run
Wont start could be Battery/starter/or engine siezed.
Wont run is not the same,,, that could be lacking power /low on oil/water/ Fuel/or even engine lacking power like down on compression which is all the above plus more ....
So check it out let us know again. Ron
