My car won't start & has absolutly no power going to it!!

My car ran just fine with no problems or check engine light on. One morning my husband went out to start it as he normally does before work. It started right up with no problem and then a few seconds later it died. My husband tried to start it up again and it acted as if there was absolutely no power going to anything/nothing works at all not even lights. We had the battery, starter & alternator checked and they are in good working order. Does anybody know what might be going on? Thanks

Maybe the engine isn't working right. If the model is old, it is probably just a break down. Did you go to a professional mechanic shop? That's something you need to check. If it's an old car, I guess you just have to move on to a new car, or used. Sorry about what your going through.

SOURCE: 1994 Plymouth Acclaim 2.5, 4 cyl won't start

on the backside of the alternator there should be a large black/grey wire. check to see if there is battery voltage on that wire. If there is not than you have a blown fusible link that is inbetween that wire and the battery. If there is power there than check for power on the dark green with dark blue wire. There should be power anytime the engine is running. If there is no power than there is a problem with that wire in between the alternator and the ASD relay.

Check those two out and let me know what you find.

Will not start, no clicking sound from starter. any Ideas to start troubleshooting?

It would appear that that your starter itself is bad. You don't have to remove it to have it tested but you will have to get it started to get it to a CARQUEST or somewhere like that.

My 2004 Honda Pilot ran fine then a hour later won't start. At first thought battery so we charged up usig one of those chargers you plug in. Lights flicker, and clicking sounds but won't turn

Check batry terminals are secure & free from corosion, check security of earth strap to engine & main power wire on starter, if ok have the batry load tested to ensure it can perform under load as the starter needs a lot of current. Have you tried a jump start?

Engine won't turn over

This is most likely the battery, sometimes you can have enough power for dome lights and radio, but not enough "Cranking Amps" to start the vehicle. Charge it, or take it to an Auto zone or something. They will charge it and test it for free.

Ran completely out of gas last week - put gas in - car started fine- ran a little rough and idled rough. Now 10 days later MIL light on in dash and perform service message. Won't go out after several

have the fuel filter changed and have the computer checked for codes incase something else is going on and they can be cleared to turn off the light.any dirt in the lines should be out of them by now.its possible that there is dirt in the injectors and a fuel system service should be done to clean them which is a recomended service on all cars anyways.you can have the fuel pressure checked while its in the shop to make sure the pressure is within specs.

2004 Ford Taurus, problem started last night. Drove to store, came home & parked. Tried to restart to park closer to curb and would not start. Engine did not turn over. Got low oil pressure message,...

Well your vehicle is indicating a problem, did you or your husband check the oil quantity? If it is low replenish the quantity. Also your battery seems to be failing, when you park it for a long time it will gain a little bit of power, thus when you come outside in the morning it would be better off then if you turned off the car and ran into the gas station to refuel and tried to take off. This shouldn't be a problem if your alternator is working properly and charging the vehicle while you drive. You may want to have your husband remove it and bench test it at a Checkers/Autozone or a local auto parts facility.

If you have more details, or questions email me at

Lack of power when accelerating

You really should have a code check done. There are numerous items that can give you similar symptoms. Two places to look are the fuel filter (usually overlooked till they gum up, and the throttle position sensor (but test it first with an ohmeter. You will need a manual (vehicle specific ones are available at most larger parts stores and most of those stores also do code testing free)

1995 Bonneville

the problem is probably one of the battery cables. check for looseness and corrosion. especially at the positive battery connection where the two cables are stacked.

Car has no power. Intermittent problem.

Thru all of the above, has the check engine light ever gone on? Even if it hasn't I'd have the engine codes checked w/ a scan tool, to see if there are any stored codes on the Suburbans computer. U can have it done for free at most parts stores, and they will give u info on what to do to correct any trouble codes that show up. Do the above, and after discussing any codes w/ parts store , if u need further help, let me know. Good Luck!
