Cutlass cierra troubleshooting. Won't crank, starter is good. New battery * 1
    #25904258 - 03/29/19 03:41 PM (4 years, 9 months ago)

At first my car was starting sluggish so i replaced the battery as an assumption. Then a couple days later. Kept getting the same problem and eventually my car just didnt start again. We moved it inside and took the starter out to have it tested, tested fine so we assumed the ground wasnt in all the way. We put it back in made sure all the grounds were tight and it slowly started up, we thought it was slow because we drained the battery so we ran it a bit then turned it off and tried again. It turned over but didn't start, then it stopped trying to turn over at all. We're scratching our heads

Doesnt the alternator keep the car running? I thought it was how the battery got charge, not how the engine turned over... Also, all the electronics work amazingly.

the alternator charges the battery as the car is running and also powers the electrical system. the engine wont get any gas if you have electric fuel injection.

the battery gives the car enough charge to start up but the car doesnt run on the battery.

Exactly. We've got plenty of power, it just doesnt want to crank. Its not a gas issue because it's not getting that far, all we get is a single click

Once it gets started it runs fine, it just doesn't want to try starting

check the spark plugs and wires. those are super cheap to replace

Lol, i already said the starter tested fine we've had it out and back in, it started once but that was it. Its a 93. If the fuel injectors were clogged it should still try to turn over, it just wouldn't get fuel, correct?

It's not a spark issue, may be a bad cable somewhere tho

One way to test if you alternator is bad is to start the car and unhook your battery ... if its having issues turning over it's more then likely your ignition or some other type of electrical I would say its mechanical

:whathesaid:

Sounds like the alternator to me. Find it and hit that fucker with a hammer a few times. Just tap it. Then try turning it over. It  won't always tell ya something. but it will sometimes.

More then likely it's the alternator from my experience with cars and its turning over like that.

I'm not the best at vehicles, but I do alright. You check all fuses? Under the hood as well? Sometimes the steering column or the physical ignition cylinder can do that. I know more modern cars can do that, but 93? That's rocking it in the fays when I first got my license.... 85 Mercury cougar... Your my only friend! Good luck man, working on vehicles sucks!

Lmao. It wont start :lol: alternators are also electromagnets. If it works it'll be magnetic. Havent checked it, but that's my next step. Its either the alternator or the ignition switch.

Haha yeah I just mean in general if you aren't sure if it is your alternator... unhooking the battery while running the car will turn off if the alternator is bad ...


But will run if it's good..


And that was a fucked typo Haha I meant I dont think it is mechanical
