This is the kind of information we wish was in owner's manuals. Important stuff. I had a no start because there was a neutral safety switch (at least that's what I think it was) that was on the transmission. I had moved it out of position (and it was a bit loose anyway) when I was connecting a back up light switch connection that kept falling off. Good think that this problem showed up about that time, or I wouldn't have known what to do. The thing was loose and could have changed position at any time. I had to rotate it to where it worked and then had to tighten it in that position. Also, don't forget to check spark plug gap. If it's got worn plugs they might not spark. That happened to me and a shop charged me $1500.00 and still didn't fix the problem. Turned out to be worn plugs. When you get older "just a few years ago" can turn into about a decade, so beware of that also.

+cfcreative1 Because most of the symptoms he mentioned are the most common but not always the case. There are other things that could happen to cause a crank no start situation. For example: Some German cars with big engines will not start simply because of a low CCA battery output or failing starter motor. Or most the newer cars have immobilizer that could be at fault. First thing you should do is get a reader or have someone pull the DTCs with a code reader be it OBD2, Vagcom, etc...

BlackHack911 I didn't say "bad starter" now did I? Please read. I'm talking about low battery amps to starter or starter solenoid. If you know anything about cars with big engines this is definitely a factor. And yes even a bad starter would crank an engine just too slow to produce enough combustion. Even if you have spark and fuel if there isn't enough combustion it still wont start.

Hey Scotty, I have a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier and it has been taking a crank or two to start, and then it would start. This morning, I went to turn it on and it would not turn over. Also, when the car would idle, I would feel a jerking motion and I could also hear the car wanting to almost turn off. What could this be?

Same thing happened to my 2000 silverado. My issue was fuel pump, fuel filter and fuel pressure regulator.

Travon Prince might need a new set of spark plugs or even a whole new set of spark plug wires,and run some fuel injection cleaner in the gas, but I'm not a machanic
