Always start at the battery. I battery with a bad cell will
give you lights and radio. You need to run a load test or take it to Pep Boys
or Auto Zone they will do it free right at the counter. Make sure you put a fresh
charge on it over night. Hot weather will kill a battery just as quick as cold
weather. Did you check the water level? -----Original

member of mine is having problems with his starter?? You guys have any
suggestions?? Here's his story........ Morning
guys (or gals, depending on who opens this email), I’m
having trouble with the starter on the Chevelle. Last night I went
to start the car it wouldn’t start. Turn the key and nothing. No click, no
nothing. Everything else works, headlights, radio, interior light, etc. I was
able to jump start the car by coasting and letting the clutch out. It took me
about twenty-five minutes to get home. I turned the car off once in the garage,
then tried starting the car again. The car started without hesitation. This is
typical when ever I experience this problem. This might happen twice in a week
or it may happen once every couple months. The only consistency is it never
seems to happen in cool weather. I’m
considering the following items next, -
by passing the neutral safety switch. -
installing a new ignition switch. A
little history, This
started around three years ago. At that time I had a rebuilt GM high torque
starter. I installed a reduction starter from Jeg’s about six weeks ago giving
into the heat soak theory with the stock starter and headers. I considered
changing the battery cable along with the starter but it looked in perfect
shape, no damage or corrosion. Any
ideas or suggestions????? Thanks
in advance! Donnie |
