I am not sure why my car won't start

My camaro won't start. It will make one click sound and then go completely dead. I've already tested the starter, and it's good. I just changed the ignition lock cylinder, thinking it was the same problem as I had before. The battery is also brand new. Any suggestions would be great.

Anti-theft system problem . You changed the ignition lock cylinder an key ?????
The PASS-Key II® system is designed to prevent the engine from starting if the proper resistance is not sensed from the ignition key. Of the 15 key codes or resistance values available, only one will work with each BCM. Once the key code is programmed into the BCM, the resistance value is stored in a non-volatile memory.
Did your old key have a resistor pellet on the side ?

SOURCE: 95 camaro 3.8 v6 . was driving and car suddenly

The starter is not the issue as you say the car suddenly died. That would not be caused by a bad starter or solenoid.

You car needs the battery to be charged to continue to run. While normally the alternator or charging light would usually come on, I think it has something to do with your alternaor not keeping the charge up on the battery. Without a strong charge, there would not be enough power to turn the engine over, which would explain the starter issue.

The fact that you said the battery had been charged overnight and there wasn't enough power to turn the starter over bothers me. While someone has told you the battery is good, I would take it somewhere else for a 2nd opinion. I have a feeling that the battery is at the root of the problem.

SOURCE: Car wont start. relaced ignition

You must let the keys reprogram themselves by following a lenghtly proceedure. Turn your key to on position but do not start. Leave it for 10 minutes & then turn key off. Repeat 2 more times exactly 10 minutes & do not start. At this point the key should be reprogramed & be able to start car. You may have to do the same thing for each additional key. The only alternative is to take it to the dealer & have them reprogram the keys. Whenever the battery or alternator is disconnected the keys are affected. Good luck!

SOURCE: car will not start. Brand

Is the ignition switch good? If the starter/solenoid; starter relay, battery and cables are all good that is about the only thing left.

Do you hear a click when you turn the switch?

Engine won't start, starter makes rattling sound

sounds like the battery disharged. If the key was on along with the lights than 20 minutes would be enough to drain the battery. Try a jump start. it should get you going. I would have the battery tested after driving for at least an hour at highway speeds just to make sure it is good.

1992 Suzuki Sidekick won't start

Are you in gear and not in neutral?
Could be your starter is dead, test your battery with a Multimeter and ensure that you're reading at least 12.5 volts.

If you're reading 12.5 or less 12.3 then your battery is in fact dead.


You could have a blown starter relay, fuze or a low battery causing a ticking sound. Your starter may have shorted out and the ticking you hear could be the starter solenoid.

Chevy tahoe 96 will not start. I have replace the electric fuel pump and that is working. Truck will not turn over.

Hello,

If the engine is not turning over, you most likely have a dead battery, or your starter is bad. If the battery is going dead, you will hear clicking sound and the lights will dim. If you have jumper cables hooked up between the Tahoe and a car that is already running and it still won't start, I would remove the starter and bring it to a place like Autozone or Advance Auto Parts, where they will test it for free.

I hope this helps you!

My camaro does not start , all the lights come on , when i turn the key it only clicks!!

Its probably your battery, your lights can still work if your batteries dead. Why your battery would be dead is another issue. Could be it's just old or your alternator is bad and its not charging the battery like it should. The problem could be your starter also, so test that 1st to make sure. Thats what I'd recommend.

The car does not start, there is a clicking sound but it does not turn, from time to time it does but can get it to turn am a student unable to pay some one to do it for me.

clicking is caused by the starter solenoid trying to engage. most likely you have a dead battery. try charging or jump starting.
