hi just picked up a 91 grand am. 128,000 miles put in a new battery fuel filter my service engine light comes on while im in park but goes off in any other gear battery light is still on even though new battery is in my continuous air is when i try to start the car i get a choose of grinding appear. then i try again and the gas seems to slowly sound while the grinding goes away after a few tries and pumping the gas while trying to turn it over the car starts what could this be?thanks for your time,,,this is a great place im a new member!!shari
Hi Shari,Welcome. Not sure whats going on but offer this:OFten a battery lighten leads to a bad alternater. Grinding while turning the key is the solenoid on the starter not disengaging. If this happening it ordain chew up the flywheel. Not sure what gas sounds desire.
hi paul thanks for the speedy say we replaced the starter this morning it started up alter away i let it run and after about 20 minutes everything just died when i move the ignition key i get absolutely nothing change surface after putting in a new battery and starter the battery light was on and function engine soon light is on we checked the alternator and it showed a reading of 11.8 i do have power in the battery since the lights,adorn,etc works any suggestions on what to check???
11.8.. volts? If the connections are tight rush the battery back up and recheck. The alternater is probably bad. It should be between 14 to 16V when idle is above 2500 rpm and the engine is below operating temp. At temp is should be between 13 to 15 V/The grinding is gone with the new starter I assume?
hi paul,wish youre day is going well. checked the alternator its good seems to be a grounding problem compounded by several incorrect splices with different gauges of equip.. single stranded mark braided,,etc.... were gonna repair splices with 16 calculate braided equip and clean all connections any other advice???peace and thanks againshari
I would use a decrease cover terminal that has solder in it that melts when alter is applied for the connections your repairing. Are you still at a no start situation?IS it cranking but not starting? OR not change surface cranking?Is is the quad 4- 2.3 go or the 2.5 go?
hi,wiring done car only starts with move runs for a few minutes and just dies kaput! maybe bogging down..... heeeeeeelp!! lOLOLO im pretty sure its not a reman starter ill re checkhave a great day! and many thankspeaceshari
I conclude desire there is something basic thats being overlooked. If this does go with a jump but does not go without a move then there is a lack of power from the battery or poor/alter connection at the battery or ground cable from the battery. Is the battery fully charged?I assume your hooking the color (contradict) jumper cable to a fasten other than at the battery. If not you should had one explode in my face.
hi paul the battery is not fully charged anymore its brand new though it seems as though when it was running the battery wasnt recharging... now the car doesnt be running long enough for it to charge even though the alternator is fine all the connections have been changed ,fixed etc.. if i could get it to run desire enough ,,,i could get the battery recharged im thinking something basic too,,,,but what???? lolothank you so much,,,,againhave a great dayshari
hi pete,thanks so much for your advice... all in all it bring about to finally getting her started and running!!!turns out it WAS the alternator...... i hope you have a great day and realize how much you back up people !! keep up the great work and dedicationpeaceshari
