My car cranks but won't start? - 1
My car has been stalling lately. It's not my battery. Sometimes it would happen when I was still. Then it started happening when I was driving and became a little scary. What always happened was that I would wait a few minutes and it would start up.
Today, it didn't turn on at all and just cranks. What could my problem be? I just changed an air filter in the front.
Added (1). It's a 2000 Honda.
@ Ellen, yes the lights come on.
The meter that your talking about, is it the handheld one that can tell any issues with the vehicle? Cuz my friend can probably get that to check my car, since it still won't start.
New car!
Ignition cylinder
Check all connections to the battery. Possibly a fuel issue
Sounds like you have alternator problems.
Do you know what kind of car it is?
Try putting a fuel stabilizers like seafoam
What year and model is your car? Is your idle low? In my g35 I had to change out crankshaft sensor having same problem as you. I also replaced 2 camshaft sensors.
If it's stalling while driving it sounds like the alternator. Do your dash lights all come on before it stalls while driving? If so that's classic alternator. That's easy to have checked and confirmed or ruled out with a meter.
- 2004 Honda Pilot Cranks but won't start if I press the gas when starting it starts.Engine lights is off,? Maintenance required is on but when I reset the lights turned off and everything works for now? What would be the problem? 1. I'm thinking it is the Timing belts slips 2. Relay maybe lose 3. Crank position sensor lose What would be the reason trying to get opinion and will look into it whatever is the best possible problem.
- I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect? I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect. I did a compressin test, the pull start only gets the mower to 60psi but the drill gets the mower to 150psi. This mower does have a decompression vale where the ehaust opest about 1/8 of the way. I tore the ead off and checked and cleaned the valves. They don't stick open. Could there be an issue with the decompression valve? Or would it be the piston rings?
- How come my atv won't electric start but will crank if I push start it? 2006 Honda trx. Doesn't have a pull rope only electric start. The starter motor turns over the engine but just won't start but I'll push it down the yard with it in gear and it will fire right up. I'm so confused by this.
- My car won't start but when I try to start it, it sounds like a power drill? I have a 95 Honda Civic and it does not start it keeps making a noise that sounds like a power drill spinning. I have no idea what it is or could be any more. I've pulled the starter and put in a new one and the starter is still not catching the fly wheel. I have even resorted to charging the battery, checking all fluids (transmission, antifreeze, etc.) and putting in 5 gallons of gas but still nothing, can't pay to get it to a shop. Anything helps thanks.
