Engine Cranking Problems?

Replaced belt on my pontiac grand am and it still wont crank

I replaced the ignition and had a lock smith instal it But car will still not crank. Locksmith was sure this was the problem. Spent 264.00 on ignition so cant spend too much more on it. What else could be wrong?

Is your security light blinking?
If so scan BCM for codes
did you check to start the car in Neutral (checking neutral safety switch )
have you checked the starter
let me know[/quote:5c01173586]

Thanks for the help.
I checked all the above and no luck. One question the security light stays on all the time. Wew checked all the cable connections to the starter and even the ground and still no luck. Nuetral safety switch was not problem. Still confused

Pulled into gas station. Then care will not start. Starter will not engage, no click, no load. Dash lights come on, radio, everything. I believe the starter is fine. Suspect neutral safety switch. Fuses are all ok. Any other suggestions. Your advice is very much appreciated.

You are awesome. Very prompt! Very appreciated! Keep up the great work!

I probably let this go too long, but for a while now my car has had problems starting, expecially after sitting a while=first starts. It almost acted as if it was not getting enough fuel maybe? It would turn over and die. Usually just once and start on the next tun over, especially if I gave it a little gas on the pedal.

Well now it wont start at all tonite.
It turns over just fine, but once it goes to start I hear a almost a vrooom noise and it dies. Once in a while I hear a clunking noise too from the eninge area.

Im afraid im going to have to get it towed to a shop, I'll give a try again in the morning, but in mean time anyone have an idea on what may be wrong?

Sensor? Pump? Something?

I had fuel filter replaced and the injectors cleaned about 4 months ago and 2 months ago to try to solve the initial problem I described.

Thanks

Well, update on my situation. Not very good either. Had mechanic check it out, they replaced starter and ignition coil housing and spark plugs- I guess they were arcing and shorting out.

Still having major problems with it though, its missing badly when running, supposedly its the pcm? The computer needs to be replaced and reprogrammed.

Had to have it towed from repair shop to a dealer for this, where parts will be on order for it tomorrow supposedly.

I have a 97 pontiac that will turn over but wont crank and with the car turn on wont let me put it into gear

Computer problem

I have a 97 Grand Am SE. I believe that the passlock system has activated itself and will not allow me to start the car. The battery is good and everything in the car works but it will not even attempt to crank when I turn the key! How do you bypass or reset the passlock system? I tried the 10 min thing and it didn't work. The theft system light still remains on ! My year doesn't have the chip in the key! PLEASE HELP ME!

THANKS

The car has stop many time butthis time it just wont crank.
We checked the fuel rail and pressure. It ok. We ues a nod the signals to the injuctors. No light.
We checked the two coils is ok. We checked the module it is ok.

We notice that the thief light stays on when the switch is turn on. After a while all lights goes off but the thief light stays on but not blinking. Does this light goes off after the switch stays on?

Hello,
I have a problem with my 1997 pontiac grand am GT 3100 V6. When I turn the key I can hear a clicking osund but the car wont crank. I replaced the starter and got it checked out. The new starter was put in, the connections were wire brushed and shiny. Then I was told that the timing chain could be off. I replaced both the timing chain and gears, I held the shafts to pervent them from spinning and possibly dropping the rods. I returned the timing to top dead center and replaced the fender and all the parts. The water pump also needed to be replaced. I still have the same problem. I replaced the battery also and still it clicks. The motor isnt seized. And the electrical system is messed up im sure (hazards dont work, turn signals are opposite) I would appreciate any help I could get. Thank you, W. Weber
