i have a 89 IROC Z, everytime i turn the ignition so it could start, nothing happens no clicking no nothing dont want to start, i already change the alternator, battery and starter and still i get nothing, but every know and then it turns on and when i turn it off same thing wont turn on. does anyone have a clue what is wrong with it???

 

Are you getting power to anything, gages, radio or other power options???

 

yea, what i dont understand is that sometimes it turns on and then it dont want to.

 

sounds like you might have some bad wiring or a short somewhere.Is it only after you driven it ? Does it start up when its cold ? Have you cleaned or replaced your battery cables ?

 

it just starts up whenever it wants either if its cold or if im lucky it would turn on go somewhere then if i turn it off and then try to turn it back on, it wont start i just keep turning the ignition on and off back and forth untill it starts but for now i dont want to move it. i havent change the battery cables or the ignition switch so tomorrow since i get everything free at auto zone, i'm gonna do that.

 

wow........... nice..............

 

yeah hook a brotha up

 

Sounds like the ignition..150 buck fix.

 

I had that same problem and it was just a loose wire on my starter solenoid. Try tightening the nuts again on your starter. that is what fixed mine. a way to check it is to open the hood and have a friend try and start it. Listen close and you may hear a small spark noise by the starter

 

yea i already fixed it, it was a lose wire inside the ignition somthing like that, but now my tranny is out so gotta rebuild that.
