My 2004 bmwx3 won't start. Dash board lights up and fuses and key are good. Would it have anything to do with the master flow sensor?

And I Kinda remember when I turned the key before it totally stoped starting, it would take after I turned the key a fraction aof a second too crank?

If you hear a mechanical hum then its either something with the starter or the battery. Charge your battery and see if its just a little too weak to turn the engine over. If that doesnt fix it, then you might have to replace the starter. Unless there is a serious mechanical issue, your engine shouldnt be the reason the starter can't get it to turn over.

SOURCE: 1998 bmw 740il will not start even with new a battery

If you checked all the fuses try putting the car in neutral sometimes the shifter gets misadjusted and wont start till the car is completely in park.If not check for a lose wire to the starter.If the car has an after market alarm you will have to turn it off before starting there should be a little buuton under the drivers dash or kick panel.GOOD LUCK

SOURCE: with my bmw318i 1997.i have difficulty starting

look for bad grounds in the ignition circuit.the corrosion is creating a voltage drop,but time and heat decrease the resistance..

Working on a 2005 Buick LaCrosse cxs with the 3.6l. Car won’t start. Won’t turn over or anything. Hooked tech 2 to it and it says fuel security disabled. Have master key. Tried reprogramming but it doesnt...

First make sure the battery is fully charged. Then check for clean battery post connections. Then check all the main fuses located in the plastic box under the hood close to the battery on top of the inner fender. You should have all dash lights if everything check out to this point and it should turn over with the key.

Why won't 2004 Ford Freestar start, but the dash lights up?

More than likely a key problem. Dont mess with any fuses. A bad keywhen turned wont make any noise. If you have a 2nd key please try that first. If that is your only key consult a locksmith to see if they can program another key. Dont throw away a bad key it may be able to be reused. Good luck.

There is a good chance that you have a blown fuse or that your starter is gone.

Dash board cluster lights are out 94 jeep grand cherokee

The sensor is located in the very front on top of engine slightly to the right, If you open the hood and lean over the engine just so you can see through the gap between the fan and the engine you will see two rubber radatior hoses kinda to the left then you will see the sensor to the right of them ,kinda looks like a spark plug with a plastic plug on the end of it with two wires connected to it.It screws into the ingine.

94 vette won't start,bat good,have org. key,fuses ok,high beam light on lights off,lcd cluster won't light up?

Disconect the battery and ECM for FOUR DAYS then reconect the ECM and BATTERY. Let it sit for another four days without turning anything on. It should start but will run rough for about 200 miles as the ECM relearns the system. I had the same issue and that is what fixed it.
