hey guys,
earlier today, i turned my car on, while i was tuning my sound system, and then all of a sudden my car turned off.. so i try turning it back on, and the car was clicking over but didnt want to start.
What do i do ?
I just put in a dizzy but it still wont turn on. will need to check if it is sparking in the morning.
need more info, or better explanation of the problem
you turn the key and the motor cranks but doesnt fire ?
you turn the key and the starter just ticks ?
you turn the key and it cranks but when you release the key you donthave any dash light ?
there are many ways a car can fail, the more info you provide the better chance you will get for an acurate answer
hit your startor ! smack it as hard as you can .
this is no a joke.
just try it
im with ecu man, it could be anything why would you smack the starter straight away?
what if it was a faulty altenator not charging the battery?
what if its the altenator belt?
what if it's got a ****ed battery?
got to take all tehse things into consideration before smacking the starter
im with ecu man, it could be anything why would you smack the starter straight away? - its good to try as it doesnt cost anything to do :D
what if it was a faulty altenator not charging the battery? faulty altenator.. maybe. should get a voltage tester thing whatever it is to test this.
what if its the altenator belt? wouldnt be the belt.
what if it's got a ****ed battery? maybe. he should try to jump start the fker before changing the dizzy

use a metal pole. or like the tyre changing poles in your boot. just knock it with it while you get someone else to try to crank itQuote:

any fuel left ?
when my car died on fuel it just started shaking then wouldnt rev and just turned off .
Surely he wouldn't need to be asking questions on here if it was as simple as running out of fuel haha.
just could be, he might have forgot about that. im just trying help with possible ways. you never know it could be something you didnt expect
If your going to try the above i suggest running a wire connecting to your jumpleads that are connected to your battery (positive i think) and you shock the starter to fire it up. i saw my dad do this on a accord 2 days ago lol. if this breaks your car u did not hear from me ;DQuote:

hitting modern day staters isnt always a good idea, some have permanent magnets in them and hitting them hard smashes the magnets.
mayb u blew a fuse?
Check your fuses and grounding points fromyour soundsystem
you can buy a program tool to read your car's code in home,and you will find your answer！
the dizzy's new so its not the icm or coils
