SOURCE: WHEN I TRY TO START

To follow up on my previous comments Coss 71's solution only lasted for 1 day. The final solution was that I had to have the ignition switch replaced. The contacts in the ignition were no longer able to read the key.

SOURCE: car won"t start. starter turns. Happened once before. started after 30-45min.

I would start by banging the bottom of the gas tank while you are cranking it over. If this causes it to start, replace the fuel pump. If it still doesn't start, there is a valve on the fuel rail on the top of the engine (you may have to remove plastic cover). Remove the plastic cap on the valve, and while you have someone cycle the ignition to the run position from the off position, depress the center tab on the valve and see if gas comes out. If it doesn't, replace the fuel pump. If it does, let me know and I will help you further. (note: replace fuel filer at same time.)

SOURCE: car starts cold start stalls after short time

Sounds like the Idle Air Control Valve which is a dealer part.

SOURCE: Starting disabled due to anti-theft system

Replace ignition lock cylinder and chip key. The wires have broken.

SOURCE: '92 Audi 100 CS turning over but not starting

You have a bad camshaft sensor. It's located at the back of the driver side valve cover. Takes 20 minutes to replace. I had exact problem and this solved it.

How could i reset the security lock on a 1999 chevy corvette

I can't find a reset for that year of Corvette. It is a Passlock system. So maybe the normal 30 minute procedure will work.

Perform the re-learning procedure

  1. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
  2. Attempt to start the engine, then release the key to ON (vehicle will not start).
  3. Observe the SECURITY light, after approximately 11 minutes the light will turn OFF.
  4. Turn OFF the ignition, and wait 10 seconds.
  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes ( the vehicle is now ready to relearn the Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK).

If not, this site may help. http://diy-gm-security.com/

Car has trouble starting when hot

check for the coolent top up in the radiator and check your current wires going to the spark plugs from the distributer Basicaly your electrical system is getting hot because of insulation in the electrical system is exposing somwhere to the direct heat of the engine as a result current loss and engine does not fire

YOU NEED TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AS THIS NOT A BUTTON PROBLEM BUT A CONTROL UNIT. YOU CAN ALSO TRY TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND DO RESET . LEAVE THE BATT OFF FOR 30 MINS AND RECONNECT AGAIN.

1990 vette runs fine after 15-20 min won't start then wait 20 -min runs fine again until i shut it off

I had the same problem. Turns out,( and I didn't believe it when I was told) but, my problem turned out to be cheap (inferiour) plugs and wired. I was reccomended to use NKG plugs and Borg-Warner wires.

1999 buick century limited

if your caar is a v-6 or 6 cylinder motor you might have a injector shorting when hot this is very coming on those cars and very very hard to find from mechanics i'm a ase certified tecnichian and had found this as coming problem on this cars
you can ask to a mechanic to check the resistance on the injectors or when it happens again unplug one by one and see if car runs again if it does then replace all the injectors
because shops will keep trowing parts and labor trying to guess
