We drove our 1997 GMC all day then we washed it changed the oil//put in new coolant. Now the car will not start. The engine light/etc are all on. What do you think is up

Did you wash the engine? Do you have a theft system? Your saying the vehicle cranks good but won't start? Can you check for codes? Have you done any basic tests?

We did not wash the engine, we live in nebraska about 31 degrees out yesterday. Battery is fine, so
are the spark plugs, just doing basic maintenance while it was nice out. Still does not start today.
Also not theft system.

Hi, in your first post, it was titled pontiac grand am, then in the post you mentioned GMC. If it is a GMC, can you give us the model and litre size of the engine? If your saying, the starter won't crank, then make sure the battery has a full charge and the battery cables/wires are all clean and tight on both ends.

We can trouble-shoot the starter circuit if need be.
