Replying to: concreteman1 (Jul 22, 2009 9:00 am) i had the same problem with a 99 caviler. after we spent a lot of time and money it was just the tcc solenoid. the part is cheap and easy to fix. don't just unplug it. that wouldn't fix our problem. it had to be replaced.

Replying to: k_erin (Jun 19, 2007 5:38 pm) I had a similar problem with my 94 pontiac. Exact issue to a T, one day it actually just stalled and would not start. Thought it was alternator because serpintine belt wasn't moving, but when we took off belt the car started. Turns out it was the AC motor (I think that's what it was), basically it totally went out and was preventing the belt from turning...
#138 of 143 tcc solenoid by concreteman1 Aug 02, 2009 (5:16 am)
first off i want to thank, SHOW ME NAVAJO for saving me a lot of money , my buddy put the new tcc in yesterday this little cav is running great tranny is shifting good, it cost me about $ 400.00 parts and labor if any body is having troubles with cav stalling at lights . check the tcc solenoid it will save you a lot of head aches. and get your car going on the road

Replying to: mudvayne1985 (Sep 06, 2009 9:18 pm) hi Mud, first have a new key made, secondly its either the starter or the ignition switch that is bad. good luck.

Replying to: mudvayne1985 (Sep 06, 2009 9:18 pm) I have the same or similar problem. At first it would take a couple turns to start. The other night it took a good 20 tries. Opening the hood-- it smells like gasoline and gas mileage seems worse. I was told it's the fuel pressure regulator (it looks wet after I've been trying to start). My friend found a hose around that area that was cracked/smoking and rigged it up a bit better... then it started. I'm going tomorrow (if the cavy starts) to get it checked, but judging on previous incidents, my first solution is never right. All I know is I'm sick of this piece having a new problem every month! Any help is appreciated

Replying to: mudvayne1985 (Sep 18, 2009 8:54 pm) i always try the cheap and easy stuff first. battery connections at the battery can seem clean and be trashed. next check the positive wire going to the starter and make sure it is tight. the wire running from the alternator needs to be tight also. if these things are ok the next time it gives you trouble try tapping the starter lightly with a hammer from the underside of the car
