1996 Geo Prizm starts most of the time but sometimes after driving it and turning it of, it won't start back up. Battery, starter and alternator have all been replaced. What could be causing th

So it does turn over but want start right? Is it turning over slower but want start? Or is it turning over the same speed...Need more information.. Try this....The next time it want start...Loosen the gas cap...Sound crazy? ..lol. The car might be vapor locked...It's when your gas tanks pressure becomes greater than your gas pump..Worth a try....So the car cranks up runs good until it shuts off...Well it's not a fuse..or the on board computer...Because it would never start back...It's not a ground...Nothing would work..It wouldn't turn over at all..It could be a fuse link...There little tiny wires that act as a fuse... Sometimes you can move the wires and it will start..When it want start also check to see if your getting fire..Bad electronic ignition not sending enough spark...Of course it could be the ignition switch itself..Hope this helps...Something for you to check

94 geo prizm turn key nothing jump it nothing but have lights and everything

Check all of the fuses first, then try getting under the car and tapping the starter with a hammer several times, then try to start it again. If it starts, you'll want to replace the starter/solenoid (built together). You can also take the starter to a parts store to have the starter tested.

The engine seems to have shut down. I have power to start the radio, but when I start the car, the starter rapidly clicks, but the engine won't turn over. It all started with the engine shutting down due...

First try boosting car with extra battery, attach posotive cable of booster battery to posotive cable of your battery and negative cable of booster battery to engine block, never to negative post of your battery, If it still does not turn over,Try turning over the motor with a socket and stong arm attched to crankshaft bolt. It could be that your motor has seized due to lack of lubrication

Gep prizm wont start

It sounds like a bad ground or something. I'd check your battery terminals and wiring. Also, follow the ground wire from the battery to it's connections. These tend to cause a lot of problems like this.
