Dropped key prior and back fell off... has full power but will not even crank. can hear fuel pump activating when atempting to start. it seems like its the starter motor but not sure 111 000 klms CVT auto
Hi michael, a couple of things, 1st if you have a key with a chip in it (as a theft deterent) it couldvre malfunctioned, if you have a reg. key id start with the main fuse for the computer regulator and work my way to the starter relay, efi relay, neutral safety switch, and so on, hope this helps!!
ok well i check'd fuse's and some relays, it at cranked 4 a bit when i first tried start it then it went to nothing, to me it sounded like the starter, i gave it a good old whack while atempting to strart with no success. the key functions perfectly and the anti-theft light does not flash once unlocked... another thought that i have read is that the car may think it's still in drive. even though it displays the gear your in the swich may not be activating. it seems that way as every attempt to start, no matter what gear eg. R N D Park, it has the same result.?? iduno, i don't understand these new cars haha

first thing to do is remove spark plugs and if they smell really fuely you will need to change them if that doesnt help you will need to get the microtech tuned for a good coldstart , this depends on if its running stand alone or as a piggy back
cheers.
please leave feedback.

have you check ignition system sounds like ignition module.Also pull the boost pack and reduce fuel pressure and see if fault still exsist. Is the car running standed ecu?

Has it overheated lately?
My wife overheated our Galant and it just stopped working, it cranks but that's it.
I pulled the sparkplugs and found them wrapped in a gewey jelly like substance. Like an oil/antifreeze combo.
I am going to replace the entire motor for $1000 as taking it to the mechanics to theorize and practice may cost more.

Start by making sure you have spark to the spark plugs. If not you may have a problem with the plug wires or coil. It's also possible you're not getting gas to the engine possibly from a faulty fuel pump.
If you change the fuel pump be sure to replace the fuel filter also.

What happened? My key came apart and now it won't start. I'm thinking it might be the key instead of the starter because there was NO prior indication a starter was going bad.
