Car won't start. The battery is good, and so is the alternator. I don't know if there's something else I should be checking. Anyone know what it could be?

What? Car won't start? Could be a million things. You have to tell us more. What does it do when you turn the car over? Will it turn over? Clicking noise?

Could be
1. Alarm system went off - Unhook your battery, and hook it back up
2. Starter, tap it with a wrench or get it tested at advance auto
3. Grounds dirty, clean them. Are the grounds on the intake manifold hooked up?
4. Fuse
5. Starter wires loose or not hooked up

If it's not cranking it could only be a few things. More than likely it's the starter.

If it's turning over just not running, could be

1. Spark plugs
2. Plug wires
3. Coil pack
4. Fuel pump
5. TPS
6. MAF
7. Vacuum leak
8. Fuel pressure leak
9 so on and so fourth


Catch my drift? Does it run, just not idle? Help me out and I'll help you out too.

We need more information.
Does the car attempt to start? Does it make a click noise? Will the starter bump over when you cross the terminals with a screwdriver? If the starter won't bump over, give it a decent tap on the solenoid with a hammer or prybar then try to start it again. Excessive resistance in the small gauge starter signal wire from the column to the starter will cause a no start issue.

see what you can find out.

Ok, sorry, here goes. The car won't make any noise at all, it won't turn over like when a car needs gas. The battery is good, I turn the key and it does nothing at all. It doesn't crank. Thanks.

There is a starter relay on the passenger side kick panel. Inside the car.

Remove the relay, drop it on the ground, re-install, and then see if it'll crank.

Thanks, I think that's what it is, I'm doing that right now!! I'll let you know what happens, I think that's what it is cuz when I turn the key I can year a clicking noise down there by the passenger side kick panel.
