I had a problem with my car its been clicking alot and i changed the battery and all the lights that come on are all working fine.. i had one of my friends watch to see where the sparks were coming from and its coming from under the oil filter and the manifold... what do yall think it can be??? the start F up or a bad ground connection??

 

Good luck. I have no idea, but than again, I have no idea what the damn starter even looks like... (OK, I'm kidding).

 

is it only when your driving?

 

no its when im tring to start it. i tried starting it tonight because i could see if something was sparking and i found out where its coming from.. is there any pics on here showing the right side of the motor? without the blower on?because then i could show yall where its coming from

 

starter.

 

If it's sparking and it was the starter don't you think the fusible links would have blown?

 

id check to see if the teminal on the starter is loose, then see if the solinoid has power.

yeah, id check that fusible link too, but that usually will let the car start, but have no charging.

 

there is a wire going to the start that lose. its the kind that has the circle in the middle. and its pretty lose

 

sometimes it won't start at all

 

My bad in my last post i meant to put starter... but no it doesnt start at all when i turn the key

 

Yes tighten that!!!!

 

whats the best way of getting to it?? i took the blower off and i couldnt see what to tighten but i have jacked the car up yet.

Is there a how to on here???

 

Ummm I would have to say that you want to jack the car up and go about it that way. But seriously if you're are still under warranty. Call GM Roadside Assistance and have it towed to the dealership and make them fix it...

 

im not under warrenty anymore i have 42k miles on my car

 

What year is your car?

 

its an 06

 

Call your dealership and ask them to check the power train warranty. Some 06's had a 5 year 60,000 mile power train warranty...I know mine does...

 

alright im doing it now... it couldnt be the start right? because thats under the middle of the manifold

 

I dunno I've never had a reason to look at my starter. If it is the starter you're gonna be out 200-300 bones just for the starter...

 

They said thats now power train related

 

**** that the starter is part of the power train! When the car doesn't ****** start then how the **** can you say that there isn't something wrong with the power train. I would call back and ask for the service manager. Honestly if your trying to chase down an electrical issue and have little or no experience working on cars asking for help over the internet isn't gonna help matters. I would take it to a mechanic you trust if the dealership won't touch it under warranty.

 

I do have experience on cars. all the mods i put on was from me.

 

Pleases dont start touching metal tools to the starter and the loose wires without unhooking your battery.

 

starter isnt covered under powertrain.

 

haha I'd be arguing with GM about that one. I got them to cover my step brothers car even after it was out of warranty
