george.bryant Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I jsut went for a drive in my car (its running awesome!!). I stopped outside my garage just to check that everything under the bonnet was ok. And it was. I went to start the car again to put it in the garage and it wouldnt turn over. I hear the fuel pump prime, the dash lights come on and i can hear single click at the starter. But it wont turn over!! Whats going on here? Someone please help i gotta get it away.

Tim240z Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Sounds like maybe a loose connection at the battery or the starter. Jiggle them a bit and see if it helps. If it does, then check that they are tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.bryant Posted March 10, 2006 Author Share Posted March 10, 2006 it was the starter ground, it fell off.... all good now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 I can identify George - I rounded a corner one day and my battery fell out of the car - disconnecting the power lead to the CPU in the process. Lights & radio worked as well as the heater but the motor went dead like it had been axed. Fortunately when I raised the 'bonnet' I rather quickly noticed the battery wedged dwon by the starter instead of in its tray. Put it back, reconnected the CPU power lead and all was well with the world. Then there was the time I rebuilt a v8 - put it all back together and cranked it up only to have it run horribly. Stood in front of the car and then said and hooked up the other four spark plug wires. Idle smoothed right out. Then there was the time I did an oli change on a Sentra - drained the oil out of the 5-spd and added 5 more quarts to the engine. sometimes I've wondered how I get up in the morning.
