put the car in gear with the E brake off and rock it by pushing it to see if the motor is free. It Is not uncommon if your coolant had too much water in it it could have have frozen. in which case you do not want to start it until that thaws. could it be pushed ina garage or something??? that sounds like what it is too me... weak batteries tend to make the solenoid clicking sound....this sounds like mechanical resistance. You could break the timing belt or water pumper if you start it while it is frozen.

 

Its been 40+ degrees here the last few days. The temp is not the issue. The problem, if its the starter is probably from the loooonggg crank time from your tune.



If there is a hum sound from the pass. side that has nothing at all to do with your starter, as the starter is in the front of the motor more toward the driver side.....

well the problem has been found(starter is on its last leg) and emery, after having to lead me to the answer like a lil kid, should have it fixed this weekend at the latest. thanks em!

 

check the big ground wire on the harness for the starter. see if its loose.

 

we checked that yeaterday, i had to get my suspension put back to stock and we had to knock the starter while shawna held the car in the start position to get her to run she is about to die, oh well a new one is ordered and will be her by the end of the week

 

well? you didnt even test it? lol your just going to put a new one on. you must be a baller. lol good luck bro

 

if $183 bucks for a starter is baller status to you, then you should look into a new job...GOOD LUCK!
