Replying to: GuitarGuy (Feb 20, 2009 5:51 pm) At this time, it appears that my issue was a "flat spot" on the starter. I pulled the starter out at the suggestion of a local car parts store whom I trust and the thing almost blew up on them (sparks were flying!) when they bench tested it. Having replaced the starter a week ago, it's not malfunctioned since. FYI - the swap out of the fuel pump relay and the HVAC relay didn't do the trick for me and I found out that if your car is simply not turning over at all (like mine), the crankshaft position sensor (CPS) is not the problem. I'll repost if this fails to be the final resolve of this issue. Sometimes sticking with the basics makes sense ... fuel, compression, spark ... or duh ... car won't start? Heh, how about checking the STARTER?!?

Whenever i try to turn on my car it makes the chugging sound and it doesnt turn on. This happens about 60% of the time and 40% of the time it starts fine. and most of the time just to get it to start i have to pump the gass alot before i start it. It still wont turn over sometimes. and when it does turn on it has a wierd nasty smell. . . . . I recently got a new starter around 4 months ago. can anyone help me????

My car sometimes wants to start and other times wont start. But after about 2 hours or so will start. It checked out ok at the mechanic. Could it be the ignition? My car has 165,000. Its a very good commuter car, but this issue is getting to be a problem. I can't run fast errands to the store. I have to leave the car running to fuel it up otherwise it won't start. I can get it push started, but its kinda embarrassing asking guys to help me push start the car.   I get power inside, just when I turn the key, no go. The starter won't even start. I've tried pumping the clutch in case my clutch sensor is going bad. No start. Its like when you start it without engaging the clutch, no noise nothing.   The no starting is random.   But if i drive home, turn the car off and then try to start it, no start. But it will start a few hours later.   Any ideas? I really don't want to get rid of this car.   thanking you in advance for your courtesy. Replies to this message: johnbar (Aug 28, 2009 5:31 am)

Replying to: katsam38 (Jan 25, 2007 7:09 am) My car is now having this problem. Saturn said it was a fuse which they replaced for the low low cost of $99, plus labor! Then less than a week later car won't start and it has the same symptoms. What ever happened with your situation?   Thanks, Tom Replies to this message: sdsun (Jun 18, 2009 10:49 am) sdsun (Aug 28, 2009 5:12 pm) dothedew572 (Nov 12, 2009 6:24 pm)

Replying to: smallvle (Oct 23, 2007 8:03 pm) I'm having the same problems you had. We've replaced everything for a lot of money and no solution. What ended up being your issue?   Thanks, tom

Replying to: ymmot11 (Jun 18, 2009 6:44 am) Hello,   I tested my starter to make sure it wasnt the starter, checked all my fuses. Finally then I changed my ignition. The key wears out the ignition and creates a short. Did you ever notice that your key would get hot. So when it did get hot, it wouldn't start? That is what happened to me.   its a cheap part but a pain to replace.   I hope this helps!
