My car just died on me it wont even start. I drove it about half a mile to mcdonalds get my food and try to start it and it wouldnt start. I tried to jump start it but the battery was fine. I had some one look at it and they think it mayb be 1 of two things: the engine coil, or engine module? any ideas???? Thanks

 

Which engine do you have?

Are you getting spark?

Are you getting fuel?

i have the 350

 

TPI im guessing?

is it turning over,clicking,turn the key and nothing,or what?

make sure ur catt. connections are tight and clean (no blueish green stuff on them).

we need to know what its doing/not doing to help u man.

 

sorry i was in school and finishing a big project. yes it is a tpi and it does click over and the key turns. at frst i thought it was just cuz the wheel locked but it wasnt but ima look at the connections. thanks! if not i will prolly start witht eh engine coil. but not sure unless any on ahs any sugestions???

 

check to see if the batt. voltage is ok. if it is,then it could be the starter.

 

the voltage is fine. like i said we tried the jump start nothing , but i figure if its the starte it would give it some wat of a start but its just a dead silent click, so i figure its better money wiseto start with the oil but thatnks for the suggestion

 

There are 2 wires to the starter. One of them is a solenoid and the other is the positive cable. If you crank it, you should have 12V at the solenoid wire. If you don't have that, you have a problem with the ignition all the way from the key to the starter which includes the starter relay, wiring and neutral safety switch. If you have 12V at the solenoid wire when you turn the key and 12 V at the positive cable then you have a bad solenoid. Take starter out and test it. If that comes out good then the culprit is the positive cable.
