New battery, has charge in it, plenty in fact. New starter, new wires, new spark plugs, new coil pack...

Out of no where, one day it refuses to start. Tried to jump start, the car has no reaction whatsoever to the switch. Someone told me to "tap on the starter with a long screw driver" but I don't know how to do that properly without screwing things up.

Starting to think this car has been nothing but a money pit. That is, unless you guys know this crap better than this mechanic guy who came to check it out. Which you usually do.

Looking forward to some help.

 

If you the car is not cranking over at all.Get a test lamp clamp it to ground and probe your control wire at starter,its the small little terminal with wire,you will need a friend to operate the key,in the start position the lamp should illuminate.If this is the case get a starter.If not,check your starter relay.you will need a schematic of starting system to further test properly.

 

Tried that with a volt meter, the engine showed some current. It still wasn't working.

Today I made a hopeless attempt, but it worked!

Just so everyone else with this problem would know. I had bought a mobile charger to connect to my car. Apparently that had messed up something with my electric current. I disconnected it, as well as my radio head. Tried next day, and it started up. The main problem seems to be the car charger...piece of crap, not only burnt my cell phone, it didn't let my car start. And to think I paid 25 dollars for it...its incredibly stupid.

 

well your smarter than a mechanic. lol. good deal on the road again.
