Try to turn the steering wheel slightly while turning the key. I would make sure the starter is bolted in good and not binding up.

Testimonial: "I managed to start the vehicle today.It was a faulty starter relay.The gearbox dont select yet the leaver moves into PNRD what can be the fault?Ive filled 3.5l of fluid n it dont want to take more."

    try adjusting the linkage, or disconect it and select the gear by moving the lever on the transmission, just make sure someone is inside wigh the brake on.

    fluid will need to get inside the transmission not just in the pan.

2001 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8. Guys, I have looked for this question even here and I can not get a clear and transparent answer.

You make it sound like it's our fault you can't find it :>D

The start of production of the Audi A4 B5 is 1994. With minor changes, it was produced until 2001. At first, only the sedan version was available, the station wagon (Avant) appeared a year later. This material provides information on relay circuits and fuses Audi A4 b5 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, with an assignment of their elements and locations.

Can't get much clearer than this. Relay 4 is one plus 'Additional Relays 23 and 24. Plus fuse 23 and 24.

Car cranks but dont start

When the vehicle will not start when you spray water on the plug wires, that means that the insulation around the plug wires has failed. Replace the plug wires.

Where is the backup light switch located for 1998 Hyundai Accent GS

On the gearbox. this is easy to find but requires 2 people as there is 2 or 3 plugs on the gearbox. put the vehicle in reverse and turn ignition on, DO NOT START! remove one plug at a time from the transmission while someone stands at the rear of the vehicle and lets you know when the reverse lights go out.
KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM THE FAN AS THEY CAN START ANYTIME AND REMOVE ANY JEWELERY. Good luck.

When I am up to 65mph on freeway.the gear wont shift if I keep going up to 80 on the automatic 4 bang tran.IT goes upto 4000 rpm,I dont know if I should keep accelerating because it seems like it should...

well, unfortunately you have found the limits of your pickup, my friend. I believe the only automatic transmissioin that was available on your vehicle was a 4 speed. Now, at 65 mph it should be cruising around 1800-2000rpm or so.
you have got a pickup, not a ferrari unfortunately, and to save on cost and to ensure strength of the gearbox chev decided NOT to put an overdrive in this transmission (this would mean a 5th gear). This saves you money and ensures when you are carrying that extra load in the back, then you are not stressing the internals of the gearbox.

I hope this puts your mind at ease.
