SOURCE: 95 gmc safari replaced fuel filter van ran great now wont start

Since you replaced the distributor, are you sure it's properly timed? Hook up timing light and try to crank. It should show you where your timing mark is. It will also verify that you are getting spark.
You need to start a systematic check. Is it electrical, mechanical, fuel related? Need to do more checking and maybe we can get that puppy going.

Good Luck

SOURCE: 95 f250, 460 motor, battery good, started starts

Check your starter cable down at the starter. Even if you jump the battery you are still feeding the same starter cable under your truck.

It sounds like your battery may be shorting. It will still break connection. You could try to bypass your battery and feed the jumper wires direct to the cables with the cables disconnected from the battery posts of the bad battery. Block the cables with wood or some insulator and then try to start the truck. If it pulls down again you will know it is not the original battery. Then it must be the starter cable or the starter.

Check the ground wires. There use to be a frame ground under the area of the passengers door on the frame.

SOURCE: Hooked up battery cables backwards now my 200

You have shorted and fried fuses, you are going to have to go to the main fuse box and the fuse box under the dash and start replacing fuses,

SOURCE: 95 Subaru Legacy wagon won't turn over with a jump

you need to make sure that all connections from each unit are attached properly and free of corrosion.
also it is not unheard of to get a bad part fresh out of the box. so you may want to check that as an option too.

SOURCE: My sister hooked up jumper

At least your sister was not injured by an exploding battery - that is a probable outcome of reverse charging.

Does the engine turn over at normal speed? If not, try recharging your battery.

In any case, it would be a good idea to check your charging system to make sure the voltage regulator is still good (this is usually part of the alternator).

If the engine turns over normally, but won't fire, try doing a computer reset - the computer memory may have been corrupted by the reverse voltage. This is done by disconnecting the ground cable of the battery for a minute, then reconnecting it, or if it is available, disconnecting the ECM power lead rather than the battery ground. (Caution: if your car radio has an anti-theft security system built in, check the manual for the proper procedure first. Failure to follow this procedure will disable the radio.) In the worst case, the engine control module or some other part of the control system was damaged.

Truck is draining charge and not charging battiers

I just went thru same thing with my 2003 f-350 diesel. I hooked up my horse Trailor and drove to Von's parked went in came back out and truck was dead. I tried to jump it didn't work. Then over next two hours two tow truck Drivers hooked up to both batteries full power charge direct to my truck and would not start.
End story required two new batteries alternator and cilanoid discussed above. In other post. Also contributing to the cause was really badly coroded cables they looked good at the connection point but wher discovered to be coroded inside the tubing just above the end connections so bow it has all been replaced and I have had no trouble since. Hope this helps. Tanya

1992 subaru legacy starter relay?? car wont start

I prefer Big O tires.. they are great at helping and are better than Firestone and a little less expensive.. I am having the same problem. I have a new selenoid but I'm not sure where it is.. It isn't like a normal car where the positive terminal from the battery connects to it. That cable connects directly to the starter..

98' Cav.. Drove it to store, shopped, didnt leave anything running or turned on. Went to car, opened dr...no dome light (thought, hmph, must have burned out -- fix later). Tried to start car... I turned...

this sound to me like at first I thought it was a fuse, as the problem went on it shifted more toward a weak cell in the battery, if a weak cell sits for a little while the battery will not hold the charge in that cell and that will cause loss of power, "its charge", in tne other cells. you had mentioned you used another battery and it ran great but when the battery was removed, things went wrong. You may check to see if there is water in your battery

The car shuts off when i turn the headlights on, i have had the battery tested and it was fine and have also replaced the cables to the battery. also the speedodmoter also goes in and out.

Probably you will note cluster lighst oscilling when you turn on hazard lights too. Bad distributor cable from battery harness to fuse distributor. When you turn on lights the 12VDC supplied to computer or injectors fail and carn turned off

Starting problems

Did you bench test the old starter? Did you bench test the new starter?
the battery may appear to be good, but try jumping it with another battery.
check the cables.
use a set of jumper cables to bypass the battery cables, this is a quick way to trouble shoot the cables.
hook red to the start solenoid an black to the engine block.

Try these and let us know how you make out
hope this is of some help.

No power past the battery

Jump start it with + cable on battery - cable hooked to "lift hook" on pass-side of motor. also make sure its in PARK (or Neutral) make sure the "fuse links" (the pink wires from + battery terminal to wiring harness) arent broken or mangled.. if that still doesnt do it, on Pass-Side fender in a little back box (2in wide, 6in long, 6in deep) is a relay (beleve one closest to firewall) called "MAIN RELAY" Common failure on older pathfinders, it just gets old and worn out, replace it, through dealership its EXPENSIVE, through Junk-Yard it may be defective.. I've replaced mine with a cheaper style relay (had to cut/solder wires) ... Discussion Boards on www.4x4parts.com have LOTS of great info on this kind of repair.
