S I just recently finished a stage three install.. And I started my car everything was great let it run for a couple minutes turned it off and back on and still fine. Wll I went to get in it again and the alarm started going off.so I got in it and started it the alarm continued while it was running so I turned the car off got out closed the door and hit the lock button and the alarm stopped got back in it with no alarm started it. Went to turn it off a couple minutes later and I turned the key except the car kept running I ran and unplugged positive on the battery and the car coninued to run. I got in it with the battery off and cycled the keys and it finally turned off... I now turn the key and nothing Allen's the fuel pump kicks on but the starter don't click it's almost like the clutch isn't pushed in.have tried resetting the computer and everything...



Could it be something with the tune of my computer? Or is it an alarm issue and info would be awesome thanks a lot

 

Sorry it's a 2006 cobalt ss supercharged

 

Do you have remote start installed?

No I bought the car used and as far as I know the alarm is stock???

 

is the security light on?

 

I just checked it the security light is not on!!

 

Did you have the battery disconnected during the stage 3 install?

 

Ya the whole time up until right before I tried starting it.its a zzp stage three I sent them the computer...

 

read through this, it has the security relearn procedure in the 5th or 6th post. Sounds more like an aftermarket alarm being funky, but worth a try.

That's the thing idk what kind of alarm systemit has never came a crossed an aftermarket box or anything and I have been through a lot of the interior hooking up list as well as under the hood with stage three. But for some reason my lock and unlock buttons on the key fob always sucked most the time I'd have to stand bye the door and push it three times to get it to unlock

 

I just tried the steps like u suggested but m security light isn't coming on....

 

I had a 2006 SS and my clutch sensor died 3 times in 30k miles. Worth looking at - if the sensor is dead it'll be like you said, as if the clutch isn't being pushed in.

Have you tried a push start?

 

No I have not looked at the clutch sensor...where is it and how do I check it??? I had it jacked up and I touch the two post on the starter together and the starter spin but it was not engaged. As of know I still have nothing when turning the key I have power to everything put no click with the key

 

I *think* the clutch sensor is actually at the pedal. May want to check in that area. I can't say for sure as I always had mine replaced under warranty, but I want to say there is a sensor right at the pedal that is supposed to detect whether or not it is pressed.

 

Alright thanks a lot ill look into it today

 

So hey guys...went through a bunch of things and nothing is really sticking out at me....but I push started it today and everything was perfectly fine when push started it ran and drove fine...I'm still having the issue when trying to start it wit the key it still does nothing (acts like the clutch is not pushed in) any info would be awesome

 

Could be that clutch signal but doesnt explain why the car wouldnt turn off before. Sorry dfield never heard of this issue

 

This sucks it's never good to hear that

 

I put a new starter into it and its still doing the same thing I'm lost about to push it out of the garage and rip that switch out

 

Seems the switch would have been easier and cheaper than replacing the starter...why didn't you do this first?

 

It's probably electrical, but I'm going to throw this out there as a possibility. It happened to my 2006.

I tried to install a 2.6" pulley and it didn't exactly clear the snout on the supercharger. I thought it did when I installed it, but then it grinded on the about and the shavings welded the pulley to the snout. Engine couldn't turn over because of that it seized up the belt drive.

Another possibility: once again this has happened, though on another dudes car. One of the injectors stuck open and flooded a cylinder with gas. The engine essentially hydro locked with fuel. Pulled his spark plugs and turned the key to start while they were out and it shot a stream of gas out the hole about 8 feet high. You would also want to pull the fuel pump fuse when you do this so that if it is a stuck injector it doesn't just keep dumping fuel in while you are cranking the engine over.

 

Cuz I have taken the clutch switch out before replacing the starter and it looks fine the two copper prongs touch each other when the white plastic thing was pushed...and auto zone tested the starter and said it failed...but that was not my issue...I have a 2.9 pulley I don't think their would be any issue with that...I don't believe it's and injector issue either since it won't do anything when turning the key over the fuse for the starter clicks however the starter does not do a thing

 

When the cylinder is flooded your engine won't turn over, period. It's still a possibility. Not saying its definitely the issue, but it's easy to rule out. Just pull all the plugs and pull the fuel pump fuse and try to turn it over.

 

Doesn't sound like hydrolock

That is correct if it was hydra lock the starter would make some kind of noise I have replaced the starter and checked out the clutch switch now onto the ignition
