Hey guys i have work soon and my car wont turn over.


04 redline. unplugged the negative terminal to the battery in the trunk in attempt to reset the pcm since it was running a cel for misfire. Anyway, when i went to start the car back up, all electronics work, stereo etc, but the car will not turn over...wont even try...

any thoughts? just started with ease 5 minutes ago...???

 

just because the lights come on doesnt mean the battery isnt dead. try a jump start or a diffrent battery.

it probably doesnt have enough juice to turn over.

 

either that or your starter is bad. Is it making the ticking noise when you try to turn it over?

 

get a jump.

 

put it in neutral start pushing like hell run hop in put it in first let off the clutch real fast and pop it. everything should catch and it'll start, give it some gas then it should be fine then go get the battery checked out when you have the chance.

 

run forest run!

 

start pushing lol

 

Bad answers.

Do you have the security light on? First off make sure the battery isn't dead and secondly see if the security light is on.

 

Thank you, yes it was on. Since I unplugged the battery it restated the PCM and it just needed time to re learn. 10 minutes and it fired right up. How young are members getting on this site? Lol wanting me to clutch pop my car lmao, I'm not that desperate.

 

check all your fuses! this happened to me and it was a fuse. your negative must of hit a positive and blew a fuse. check the fuses in the bay and inside the car

 

He already solved it, it was exactly what I said... Never be dumb enough to let the cables touch, cough.

 

I pushstarted mine... once... just to see if It could be done, so that I'd know if I was ever in a situation where I would need to... It worked... well it wasnt so much of a push start as it was a let it roll down the hill driveway start.

 

ouch bad day huh

 

what exactly does it do when you turn the key? if it beeps about five times and check light and passlock stays on and then it says service vehicle well then it is more than likely your ignition switch.

 

lmao! i did that in my focus! good times! hahaha! i live on a hill, i would jus roll down my drive way pop the clutch and im gone hahahaha! but i don do that in the cobalt
