I just got the car delivered from TX and when it left, it was firing up with no problem. Now when I turn the key to run I hear the fuel pump and when I get to start, it doesn't engage the starter but fuel pump keeps pumping. Ideas?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

I just hooked up the remote starter (red to battery pos (+)) black to the large spade on the solenoid & I get nothing. Sounds like a faulty solenoid. How do you bench test the starter??

QUOTE(Jmedeiros @ Apr 7 2013, 03:42 PM)  I just hooked up the remote starter (red to battery pos (+)) black to the large spade on the solenoid & I get nothing. Sounds like a faulty solenoid. How do you bench test the starter?? You just tested it. On a bench, hook a black jumper to the negative battery and the body of the starter to give it ground. Then the red lead to positive and the large battery terminal on the solenoid. You may have a bad (dirty or loose) ground somewhere... Yoy need the battery to body connection to be super clean and tight. Battery ground terminal, clean and tight Ground strap at rear of tranny to under body...clean and tight. Then, use a screw driver to jump from the hot terminal to the spade (trigger) for the relay. Given the car was moved, and the key may have been left on more than once to turn the wheel....keep checking for grounds that are corrode (tranny ground strap) and fuses that shook loose etc. rich |
