I have a 2000 Pontiac sunfire, it will crank over but wont start.

Looks like the previous owner ran a bypass wire from the battery to a toggle and back to the coil, turn toggle off and car acts as it has no power to the ignition system and or dash lights, turn toggle on and everything works as it should, but now the issue I'm having is it will crank over but wont fire, ive taken the caps off the coil and I'm getting spark there.

SOURCE: 2001 pontiac sunfire wont start

I have had the exact same problem. There is an ignition lock that probably went off. There is a fuse box under the hood. The fuse that says ignition on it pull it out and put it back in. This should reset the ignition lock. Its a safety feature because the car thinks that someone was trying to tamper with it.

I had the same problem with mine. I have a 91 trans am, and My problem was a temp sensor on the motor. I put a new one on, and it fired right up. Hopefully that helps you out a bit.

You need to have a diagnosis done to it and get an error code in order to proceed with fixing this vehicle else you will be changing parts forever.

MY CAR WONT CRANK ANYMORE 2002 MALIBU

Cutting the yellow wire and installing a toggle switch will not do anything , except make the vehicle not start at all ever again . That is the pass lock sensor signal input to the BCM . You have demonstrated your lack of Knowledge of these systems ,Take it to a qualified repair shop

1996 sunfire 2'4 wont start

Battery could be dead. If not then the ground wire could be loose or corroded. Fly wheel could be worn. Crank shaft position sensor could be bad.

At times veh will not crank, let sit 45min -1hr and try and startswhen it wont statrt turn key and nothing

Look for 'dirty' battery terminals. They should look shiny and new when installed on a fresh battery.
Use a wire brush to shine it up and get rid of any signs of corrosion.

Had a friend with a Pontiac Sunfire where this was a problem.

Why wont my 2000 sunfire start?

starter relay,ignition switch,park switch.need to use a volt meter and start at the starter,see if you have at least 12 volts.if there is have the battery tested.does your head lights come on?next no voltage, go to the fuse box under the hood and check for (2) 12 volt powers with the key on and a good ground.if ok replace the relay.next move the trans shifter to neutral with foot on brake and try and start if it starts you need park switch.if not next is the ign.switch to test,you will need to locate the starter wire and check for voltage when starting if none replace the ign.switch hope this helped.also the alternator has nothing to do with the cranking of the engine on this car.

I have a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire, 2200 4cyl. My neice ran in the ditch about 30 mph and damaged the radiator. I replaced the radiator and the car will not start. I pullled a plug wire and it has spark, pulled...

Look for the crash sensor that shuts off the fuel pump, usually located in a hard to reach spot in the trunk, push to reset it. Check your owners manual, it will tell you where if you can't locate it by sight.

02 pontiac sunfire won't crank at random times

Hi, I had the same problem with my girlfriend's 97' sunfire, it wouldn't start so I jumped the starter terminals which I think screwed it up even more (causing the theftlock light to come on). It turns out this is a common problem that can be solved by hooking up a GM Tech2 scanner, going under "body" codes, and following the instructions for bypassing the PASS LOCK SOLENOID. Hope you find this helpful, Byron
