HELP!!! Car Won't Start!!!
 
Sup ppl, i need some help, my car wont start. First it started with my alarm, my remote was working but it wouldnt deactivate my alarm. When i finally got the alarm to work, my car was unable to start. I had to push start my car whenever i needed to drive somewhere. I want to go get it fixed, but before i go out to the mechanics, I wanted to ask for some help first. Has this ever happen to anybody? Can anyone out there help? What ususally causes cars to not start up? I was thinking it might be the battery, but i was able to play my system, so now im thinking it might be the spark plugs, wires, etc. I dont really know whats going on, PLease help! THanks

no.

Your alarm isnt disengaging properly and it's disabling your starter.

if you can push start it. Check and see if your starter is working. When you try to turn the car on do you hear the starter turning the engine over? If you don't your problem is either in the wiring to the starter, or the starter. If you do hear te starter motor turning but the engine is not, you may have a stripped starter. A gear needs to be replaced and it could work again. Depends on what is is.

its possible that the starter is disabled, but i can i get it to work properly again? Would a new alarm system help? Also, when i try to start my car, i dont really hear anything, no clicking, except for this noise that sounds like the car is getting ready to start up, but instead of starting up, my car does nothing, leaving me no way of starting my car properly.

thats probably the fuel pump your hearing. Is your alarm even capable of disabling your car? It might not be because you are able to push start your car. In my car if the alarm is on that thing ain't moving period.

Yes you can get your starter working again, first check to see if the starter is getting the proper voltage to it. Its a black wire I think, comes directly from the battery and goes to the starter. Make sure nothing is loose and that its getting 12 volts, i think it draws more voltage when its cranking but since you cant crank...

This problem dosen't sound very difficult if you know how to use a voltimeter. Have a mechnical friend come over to help you out

it's got to be the alarm, starters don't go bad often on tegs.

Just fixed my car, turns out it was the alarm. The mechanic says it had something to do with the kill switch. My mechanic rewired the kill switch and the started so my kill switch is disabled now, and my car is working fine. But now my alarm doesn't work anymore. I guess i'll be getting another alarm soon, but at least my car works. :) Thanks for all the help.
