shooter69 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 So I woke up this morning to head to class, got in my car and my car turns over a couple of times and then nothing.....dead. So I went inside and grabbed my fluke to see what voltage my batts were at, the front batt read 12.4 v and the back read 12.8. I had a friend try to jump me anyways and my car wouldn't even turn over, any ideas?

BeAlLsTaR13 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 How much gas you got? When it's 30•F or below my car has trouble starting if I have 1/2 tank or less, but when it's warmer I can practically start on fumes, no idea why my car does it but it started this winter Quote Team Sundown Audio**CURRENT** -- 2012 Scion tC Build Click Here **OLD** -- 2002 Pontiac Grand AM Build Click Herecheck them out, slap me a comment2002 Pontiac Grand AM SE 2.2l 4 cylinder ecotec.-------------------------------------------------------------------Head Unit - Alpine CDA-9887Subs - 2x Z 12 v.2s - v.3 + NS Soft partsAmplifier - Sundown Audio SAZ-3500DEnclosure - 3.33 Cubes tuned to 34.66hzFront Stage - JBL P660c 6.5" ComponentsRear Deck - Powerbass 4xl 6.5" Mid-RangeFront Stage Amplifier - Sundown Audio SAX-100.4DWires - Kicker Hyperflex 1/0, KnuKonceptz 1/0, Knu 4 and 8 Gauge, Kicker RCAsElectrical - 275 AMP DC Power H/O Alternator, XS Power S3400, XS Power D2700Videos - http://www.youtube.com/user/BeAILsTaR13------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanginOnABudget Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Get out your DMM and test the voltage at the starter and have a buddy turn the key, if you have power but no crank, its prolly a bad clutch on the starter motor, if no voltage, its best to have a mechanic look at it. if it cranks but wont start, get a can of starting fluid and spray it into the air filter for one complete second, if it wont fire like this, you're looking at a pricey repair.

shooter69 Posted March 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 I pulled both batts and charged them for a bit but when I put them back in I noticed I have absolutely NO power to my car. Lights won't turn on or anything. So now I'm thinkin fuse? I checked all except the bigger square ones, I don't really know how to check those since there's no visual spot of the fuse, just a cube of plastic Quote (1)Fi BTL 15 (1)AQ 2200d 4.33 Cubes~33hz Big Three done XS 1200 in the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassHead1990 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 try moving the positive or negative on the primary terminals, I have to do this sometimes on my stang and then all the lights will come back on and or car won't turn over.

Spitfire2k6 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 If you have done the big three check all the terminals and make sure its all nice and tight. then if its ticking over give it some gas as you turn...

JaM Customs aka mprete Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 ok first off he said he has no power which means NO CRANK! has absolutely nothing to do with fuel or spark. obviously your batteries are good bc you charged them and they hold a charge. first check your wires to the starter. use your dmm and see if you get power at the started when someone else turns the key to try to crank. if you do have power make sure you have a good ground which you should bc its grounded to the block. then its your starter is bad. tap on it kind of lightly with a hammer and see if it will start to crank...
