95 Cut Sup Not turning over

[marine90]

I have a 95 Cutlass Supreme 3.1L. Every once in a while, maybe once every 30-45 days my car will decided not to turn over. It does not click like the starter is trying to engage, however I here the fuel pump run, and the dummy lights come on, radio works headlights are bright. I just keeping turning the key off and on and it will finally trun over and start just fine. Then I will not have the problem again for a month or so. The battery is good. One thing I have not tried is when it will not start, then put my spare key in and try to start it.(eliminating the possibilty of a bad key, my keys have a chip in them.)

I have 95 Cutty as well. It could be your key, do you have keyless entry... sometimes that will not work properly and cause you to have that problem.

I had 94 Chevy Beretta that had keyless entry and would do that maybe 2 or 3 times per month.

I have an aftermarket remote start that also controls the locks, however the remote start and keyless entry have not worked for at least a year.

I had this problem too. In my case it was the key, and I suspect the same in your case. Try your other key. The security chip embedded in the key is a little resistor. As the key gets used, the contacts wear down until eventually they are unable to complete the circuit.

Or a bad connection between fuseible link and wire at starter solinod they corroate at join

Does your 'security' light blink when trying to start the car? Most likely you have a problem with the VATS system or the hacker that installed the remote start.

Mine is doing this very thing. I replaced the starter, and it worked great for a while, but it is doing the same thing again. Is there a way they can test the key?
