I have a 1988 Cavalier that will not start or even turn over. The alternator, battery are good and just replaced the starter on it today because the old starter wouldnt even test ( drawing too much power and blew a fuse every time on the test) when we turn the key to start the car it drains all power and now after we put in the new starter it keeps blowing a fuse. this is really really starting to piss me off. I checked both the primary and secondary relays ( which btw almost melted because so much power was being drawn through it) and they seem fine. On the test of the battery and alternator it is idleing at 1800 RPM's way to much I know but cant figure out why and is pulling 114v from the alternator. Don't know what else it could be. Also every once in a while it is choking out and stalling in drive when the brake is applied. It wants to go to the cavvy raceway in the sky but I cant afford for it to just yet. Any Ideas?
