car Won't start

Ok well to tell you guys the truth i domt know what the hell is wrong with my baby but the other day i went to start her up and nothing no starter clicks or anything. So i awped to pop start and boom started right up all my friends tell me that it is the starter relay but i dont know where that is located and my clilton book is missing so i was wondering if anyone can help me figure out if it is my starter or my relay.

Before this, did your car make a sound like metal scraping whenever you started it? If so its the starter that went, most likely it is the relay...lemme take a look around in chiltins in a bit.

no it didnt make any metal scraping sounds. it doesnt make any noise what so ever like the day i went to turn the key nothing no clicking sounds no nothing the battary is new all i can think of is the relay now but im trying to find out where that is located. if you can tell me i would be very greatful.

What the fuck is "awped?" Sounds to me like a dead battery. Borrow a buddy's or something and see if that works.

Also, use the subforums, they are there for a reason.

Do your lights come on? Does the radio work? Those are a couple of other things to include in your questions, more detail. And welcome to the AF.

Maybe he meant to say "opted" (sp?)?

yes i ment opted and the battery is brand new i just bought it the other day all my lights and radio do turn on.

starter ? is your car manual or auto ?

it is manual

Hmmm... I have a theory... Have you done the clutch switch mod? Where you disconnect the one harness above the clutch pedal so you don't have to hold it in to start the car? I think you should try that just to see if the switch went bad. Here is a video of the one to unhook.

Do that and try to start it without holding the clutch in and make sure its out of gear. lol Hopefully its just that switch and it will be a simple fix for you instead of buying and replacing other things on a hunch.

hmm i have to try that i will try it to day before the sun goes down

Are your battery deals on the terminals good? Mine we half hanging off once on the Cavy, I got lights and radio, but not enought to crank it over. 2 turns of a wrench and it was fixed.

:1: Clean and tighten your battery terminals.

the terminals are clean my whole engine bay is clean i like to keep my car clean and the engine bay too so i know that it is not that.

But im going to check the starter relay today and take it out and test it.

Have you tried bridging the solenoid terminals? Turn the key on and put a jumper or something across the terminals to see if the starter is bad. Make sure YOU aren't part of the circut when you do it. :evillol:

how do i do that when the starter is in back of the engine under the intake manifold i cant even see it from above since i have the gsx the tranny is in the way can you give me some advice on how to do it. Also i changed the starter relay and still nothing i pop started it today again and started right up. i really think that it is the starter that is dead.
