Alright so I left school tonight, my car started with no problem, drove fine. I got home turned the car off for a few minutes. When I went back outside and tried to start the car I got nothing. The power was good but no crank. I dont know much about cars right now, but my father knows a good amount so he came out and started the car under the hood with no problem. I think he said he took the ignition or something and bypassed it with a new wire and got it to start. Im not around him right now so when i know exactly what he did I will post it.
Has anyone else had this problem or know what it is? I was thinking the starter solenoid, but im not sure. Any help would be great.

your father seems to know your problem

 

[jimmyb34]

id say your dad just hotwired the starter for lack of better terms.. odds are thats the problem

 

[Chinocolypse]

what would be the problem? the starter? cause the starter still worked when he jumped it. has anyone heard of the "clutch neutral safety switch" going bad? or starter relay?

 

[jimmyb34]

The clutch switch can be bypassed. There's a writeup on here somewhere.

 

[Chinocolypse]

I looked for the write up, it just said disconnect the clip from the switch and jump the wires together. I tried that and it still didnt start.

seems like the starter to me... take a hammer and tap it.. then go and try to start it again

 

[Chinocolypse]

would the starter still work from jumping the wires? my teacher said it sounds like ignition switch.

 

[boostfreak0885]

nornally the ignition switch doesnt go bad. unless you messed with it

 

[Chinocolypse]

i havent messed with it but ive only had the car for a month and a half. not sure about previous owner

i have exactly problem and i found out theres oil filled up in my spark 1-2 and i think thats cause my car wont start, or i might have bad igntior also

 

[Chinocolypse]

well my car will still start and i can drive it. i just have to jump the starter.

[Chinocolypse]
