Without test main componets on the vehicle we would only be guessing . Doing electrical checks , hooking up a professional scan tool an viewing engine data etc. your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop . Spend the money for an hour diagnostic time .That is unless you like guessing an just replacing parts

SOURCE: try to start car and nothing happens. replaced

Do the dash lights come on ? They should come on when the key is turned to the on position. If nothing happens check the engine relay. It is not too expensive to replace if you really want to eliminate that as the problem. Check all wires going to the starter and make sure it is wired correctly.

SOURCE: car won't turn over

Neutral safety switch may be going bad or is out of adjustment. Switch is on the transmission under the shift linkage ear where shift cable attaches. Loosen it and put car in reverse (not running) turn switch so that reverse lights come on. semi-tighten switch and check that it starts in both park and neutral. If not you need to change the switch.

SOURCE: No start condition

It sounds as if it could be the neutral safety switch. have you tried to start it in neutral instead of park?? If it starts in neutral just have the neutral safety switch replaced. I hope this helps.

We did a engine swop on a 2004 Ford Focus with a 2.0 split port now it cranks but will not start I have replaced the coil pack, cam censor and crank censor still no start

There can be any number of reasons that it will not start. No fuel or no spark. You must find out which to follow. A scanner would be a big help to see what information is going to the computer. Could be that a feed wire from the battery is not connected. Is there power to all the fuses in the fusebox? Spray some starter fluid into the throttle body.

Location of crankshaft censor for 1996 jeep 4l auto? Engine cuts out when warm. After 20 minutes it starts again. Sometimes it idles but when I put it into D it cuts out again when warm.

could be many things
the crank shaft cencor
the coil or coils
the main one that seems to always go is the modual under the cap if it has a distribtor. or if not it could be the main computer. when the computer gets hot it just shuts down and reboots
if not then you will have to get some way to get the code to fix it

Srs warning light came on after transmission work

the only way this comes on is if the steering wheel or any of the air bas have been tamperd with or knocked also there are censors under the bumper at the front that could have been knocked plus the modual for the srs light is under the centre console under ash tray if these have been removed and the unit knocked this would cause this to happen also check the harnesses under the seat are conected as well if all these are in order im afraid its to the dealers for an srs reset there is no other way of reseting this unless you know some one with a reset tool

Truck wont start. has half a tank of gas battery is charged just wont roll over was told it may be the censor modual

If the motor will not turn over check voltage at the starter you should have 12 volts and if you do then your starter is bad.If you don't have 12 volts at the starter than check your ignition switch and starter relay.

Won't start, back fires, engine knocks, spitting black smoke. can't hook up to computer because it wont start and getting a new battery will reset the computer in the truck.

i dont need to be started to hook up computer. also something that bad will show codes even after changing battery if you crank it a bit.sounds like a cam or crank sensor problem though or engine got wet

My chevy lumina starts but once it warms up it dies and wont start changed coils and module what else could it be?

you probably have a faulty temperature censor. if the car stalls when its hot and acts like its running out of gas than its the temp censor. what this censor does is it will tell the main computer what to make the air fuel mixture and if its telling the computer (ECM) that the car is too rich than it will lean the air fuel mixture so far that it will cause the car to stall.

Cranks but wont turn over

you know. i took it to a mechanic and actually.... The timing belt cut the Crank Shaft Censor... So it was the crank shaft censor again. The wires were routed wrong from the first mechanic that "fixed" the car.
