what have you done as far as diagnosis? remember the basics: fuel, air, spark. I would first pull each coil pack to ensure spark, and use the schrader valve to make sure there's fuel pressure.

 

I just pulled the starter on it. I'm going to go get a starter and see if thats what it is. If not then go from there. Once the car does start it runs fine and will start right back up.

 

maybe I couldn't hear the video right, but it sounds like its turning over?

 

It will turn over but not start up.

 

I don't think it is the starter then

you tried a different battery or giving it a jump right?

 

no i didnt try another battery or jump it. My dad heard it and pulled the starter but im not sure thats what it is because i had the starter replaced under warranty 2 years ago.

 

aint got no gas in it.

 

lol it has gas. I wish it was that simply!

 

you sure? I would say fuel problem too. check the fp at start

 

I thought it was my fuel pump to but my dad don't think it is because my starter has been making a nasty sound for a long time he thinks its finally had it. When I turn the key I can here the fuel bump fire up

 

lol that would have been good info to post originally. try the starter then

 

They dealer said the replaced the starter but when I picked the car up that day it made the same sound. I pulled the starter and there is all this black dust all over it and in where the flywheel is. Ill post pics when I got home. Fly wheel looked good so that was good.

 

this is what the starter looked after i pulled it out

 

that's normal, they get dirty from the clutch debris

 

okay cool. So im taking the starter to get checked tomorrow if its good then would you think it would be a crank sensor? plugs are good.

 

whos gto?

 

crank sensor wouldn't do that, like i said check fuel pressure before and during startup

 

The gto is my little brothers just got it back yesterday had headers,cat,torque converter, tranny cooler and a tune.

How can i check the fuel pressure?

 

Not sure how close you are to me but if you need to swap out sensors/parts temporarily so you don't have to keep buying stuff let me know ill give ya a hand

 

Im out near bolton where you from?

 

Mapquest say 50 minutes, I'm exit 60 off of the merrit

 

Would have taken a drive up there today if I knew you didn't have this fixed by now

 

haha i was just talking to my friend saying how much i hate the merrit. you would take I84 To 384 to RT44 i live off rt 44. The car is not fixed its sitting on jackstands right now in my garage. I'm not sure when ill get time to work on it again. I'm leaving Friday for vacation. I would def be down for someone coming back helping me with it. I dont want to keep throwing parts at it and dont feel like towing it to a garage if is something i can figure out with the help of some people.

 

Pm me when you're back from vacation and ill help you out. Im leaving on friday as well, gonna be on vacation till Tuesday.
