right now my car is at school because it wont start its wierd because i just got a new starter and a new fuel pump well anyway i went into my car after school and i turned the thing witht he key in it and it didnt even make a sound but i could hear the radio and stuff so it couldnt be the battery and some kid told me it was because i never let my car warm up in the morning but i think its just bs i need help asap because it might get towed from the school

it could be the battery cable that goes from the battery to the starter, in one of my cars, the bolt used to get back out a lot and the cable got separated from the solenoid, causing no power, but the radio and stuff still worked, so thats my guess for now, give that a shot, when you replaced the starter it might not of been tight enough. give that a shot and let me know, i'll look into it and see if i can come up with anything else.

 

make sure you have the positive cable on the right electrode on the starter

 

thanks for the help hopefuly it works

i agree, check all your battery lines, make SURE that bolt is tight on the starter, grounds, everything. How long ago did you replace the starter and pump?

 

like 1 month ago or so it maybe a month and 2 weeks something like that

this is the first time this has happened i assume? that could be enough time to wiggle loose a bit if you didnt have that bolt NICE and tight. that would be your best bet

 

My 82 Z28 would do that. If the battery drops even a little bit below 12 volts on my V8 it won't turn over. I still get enough for the radio and my sub and all that junk but it won't start. Anyway, my alternator was bad. Put a volt meter on batter terminals. Should be at twelve when u start and than slowly turn on heat, lights, radio etc and if the batter voltage stays same or drops, alternator. If it goes up though, than it's not bad at all. That's what I did. Starts like a charm now.

 

the mechanic came andit turns out it was a wire that connects to the computer that got wet because of the rain. I thought it was wierd but thats what he said every time he put a fuse in it burned out. well thats what he told me i gota take it to the auto shop again and get it fixed.
