Won’t start

My car won't start. It was running fine just over heating. So I changed the radiator and the trans cooling lines because one of them broke taking them off. Well I had to take the battery out to get the fan housing cover off. So I left the battery disconnected and in my house for like 3 days. When I got everything hooked back up and went to go start it, it wouldn't. It made the regular noise of the vehicle starting up but when I go to give it gas nothing. So I tried to jump it and still nothing no difference in the sound or smoke or nothing no smells headlights come on when I turn the k

Hi there:

Sometimes when you replace major components like the radiator, a ground wire or other wire may not have been correctly installed or attached. This could cause issues with the ignition system which might be the source of your engine issues. However, when the engine overheated, it’s possible that damage to the engine occurred. Due to these multiple facts, it’s probably best to contact a professional mobile mechanic to complete a car is hard to start inspection first; before you buy any replacement parts.

The most common reasons a Ford Crown Victoria won`t start are a dead battery, an alternator problem, or failed starter.

The most common reasons a Ford Crown Victoria has a check engine light are an emissions system component, a sensor, or a catalytic converter.

If you experience difficulty starting the engine when cold, stalling at idle, or hesitations during acceleration, it may be the idle air bypass valve. This valve helps the vehicle idle steady when the accelerator pedal is not pressed.

Composite Bonding To Rebuild The Tooth

This is the same material that`s used for dental fillings and cosmetic bonding. It attaches to the enamel tightly, rebuilding the tooth and creating a stable platform for the crown. This process is fast and non-invasive, so it`s usually the best option for most patients.

A blown fuse in the starter circuit could be the cause of a no-start problem. Broken or corroded wiring – Damaged or dirty wires to the battery or to the starter solenoid (or wires that are loose) can prevent sufficient power from reaching the starter.

Starting relay position

The fuse box (also called the power box), the instrument panel under the fuse panel, or the right fender are all possible locations. In most cars, it will be under the hood, in a large box with a black lid. This is where car fuses and relays are installed. It is also called a fuse box.

The emissions/exhaust system is the most likely culprit for many check engine lights being illuminated. There could be an exhaust leak or a problem with the catalytic converter. The mass airflow sensor (MAF) is another sensor that is easily tripped or can fail.

A loose gas cap will not only let in grime and dirt, but it can allow fuel vapors to escape the fuel tank. These vapors can produce an error in the emissions system, which could cause the check engine light to illuminate.

Poor Cement Quality – If the cement used by your previous dentist wasn`t sufficient or you used over-the-counter cement as a permanent solution, your crown can easily fall off. Unforeseen Stresses – If you clench or grind your teeth often, it can cause the crown to become worn down and change shape over time.

Dentists can repair damaged crowns with composite resin in certain cases. However, if the damage is too severe or if they are not properly equipped to restore the crown, then a new crown may need to be installed.

If the crown is undamaged and the tooth underneath is in good condition, a dentist can simply clean and re-cement a loose dental crown. However, if the crown is damaged, it cannot be put back into place, and your dentist will need to create and place a new dental crown.

A crown may come loose because it`s been placed on a tooth that doesn`t have enough structure to stabilize it. In some cases, we can perform additional treatments to build up the tooth and provide enough structure to support a dental crown successfully.

Vehicle won’t start, once it’s jump started it only stays running until you turn it off, then it work start again without jumping.

ANSWER : Hi there. There could be two problems here. It is possible that your battery is bad and will not take a charge from your alternator while driving. In that case every time you shut your car off you will not have enough juice to start it again. Inspect your battery – it should have at least 12.5 to 13 volts to start your car, if it doesn’t you will need to replace the battery. The second problem could be that your alternator is bad and not charging your battery, in this case you will need to replace your alternator. Both the battery and the alternator can be tested in your car. If you would like to have the car checked for you, a certified professional from YourMechanic can come to your car’s location to diagnose the starting problem and proceed with repairs.

Fuel pump engages. Batery good, alternator good volts, jump start helps when wont start. Temp does not matter. Intermittent?

ANSWER : Hello. Thank you for writing in. There are several reasons your vehicle may only start when jump starting. The first and most common is a build up of resistance that is causing you to need a boost of voltage to get the engine started. This may be due to poor battery cables, a bad ground connection, a poor starter solenoid, and a couple of other issues. The first thing you want to do is perform a visual inspection of the starting system. Make sure there is no corrosion build up in the battery cables. You can also check the resistance across these wires and make sure you have a solid connection between components. You then want to make sure the starter solenoid is doing its job. It is responsible for taking the small amount of electricity sent by the ignition and turning it into a huge electrical charge that is strong enough to push over the engine with the help of some gear ratios in its favor. Do some more testing, and stick to the basics before assuming its something seriously complicated.

The car crank but won’t start

ANSWER : Hi there. This does sound like an issue with the wiring. If the check engine light is coming on every now and then this means that when it does not come on there is no power to the computer. This can be the wiring harness issue or an ignition switch problem. I would have to test for voltage to the computer when the problem is occurring to be able to find where the issue lies. If you need assistance, a certified YourMechanic technician can be dispatched to your location to inspect your vehicle’s non-start issue and suggest any necessary repairs.

My car won’t start, neither does my auto. Start. Sometime it might start if I jump it sometimes it won’t.

ANSWER : Hi there. There are a number of issues that will make a car hard to start. Everything from the electrical system to the fuel system to the actual starter itself can be the problem. Finding the root cause of a hard starting engine can take some investigation. Ignoring a hard starting issue can further damage the vehicle, which will often result in a more expensive repair. You might want to have a mobile mechanic complete a car is hard to start inspection so they can pinpoint the source of the issues you’re having and recommend the right repairs be completed.

Car won’t start. When trying to start, starter makes a clicking noise and then closed back hatch recloses.

ANSWER : It sounds like there is some type of drain on the battery. When there is low voltage in a battery, it can cause several symptoms. The electrical systems can act very strangely when they don’t have the correct voltage being supplied. When a battery won’t hold a charge, it can be caused by a wiring issue, a bad battery, or some type of parasitic draw that can slowly pull voltage from the battery. Some electrical diagnosis done by a professional, such as one from YourMechanic, will be necessary to pinpoint the cause.

ANSWER : Hi there. It sounds like you have a failed starter. However, without proper testing there is no way to be 100% sure. I suggest having the battery tested first with a digital battery tester that provides current voltage, cold cranking amps, and state of health. Also inspect for corrosion on the terminals and cables as this will cause excessive resistance and not allow proper voltage/amps to the starter. Other possible failures could be in the wiring harness, relay, fuses, or communication network. I suggest having a qualified technician perform an inspection to avoid replacing unnecessary parts. Your Mechanic has several available technicians that can assist you with a car does not start inspection.
