Thread: HELP!!! She won't start

Tweet

Seems you need to work through a process of elimination,,,first,,,start with a full charged battery,,,then if i were you,,i'd take that starter out of the car and test it with a direct jump from some jumper cables,,,when you are satisfied that the starter spins good,,,then you got to look for why it wont when it's mounted in the car,,,,like every one has been suggesting,,,,get your grounds done first,,,then worry about power feed,,,make sure you got a realy good connection from the positive on the battery,,to the main,,positive on the starter,,,then you need the "hot" wire from the ingition switch down to the starter solenoid,,,make all your connections soldered and or crimped,,,but do them well.
If your starter is still not working after doing the above,,,then you will know it's either the solenoid or it's not electrical at all.

Then look at the possibility that the starter is jamming when mounted to the block,,,,it may need to be shimmed.
