SOURCE: 95 dakota cranks but wont start

Well I'm a chrysler master tech & this is a little odd. There's alot of things not in the question so here are mine. I'm assuming it's a 3.9 no 4wd. When did this happen? When you check for power do you have some one turn the key on while you check? If still no power then make sure all the fuses are good from the one under the hood to the one inside the cab. Next be sure to check the grounds. You'll need to by a manual like a Haynes in order to get a decent wiring diagram. In a worst case senario the main power box under the hood has an issue & the asd relay gets no power,hence no start. Ran into it on a 95 caravan & it took a week to figure it out & no replacement was available & I had to hard wire it so it would run. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: truck wont start

1.) spray engine starting fluid into air intake ---remove air filter if necessary.
2.) if ignition only on this spray, then seek bad fuel supply problem.
3.) if no ignition, check for spark.

SOURCE: 95 F150 wont crank

the starter should be replaced. The solenoid is kikcing the pinion out but there is no contact being made to turn the starter motor. I have the exact same truck and before i changed the starter used the old starter tap trick. Tap the starter casing with a hammer and it should start turning again. hope this was helpful for you. Good luck.

SOURCE: RE: 1993 Dodge Dakota - truck won't start,

From your description, the solenoid is defective. The key (start) circuit provides power to the small terminal on the solenoid. With the key off, try shorting the small terminal of the solenoid to the large terminal that has the heavy battery cable attached. If no action, short the small terminal to the solenoid mounting bolt. One of these two actions should operate the solenoid. If nothing, the solenoid coil is open--replace the solenoid. Make sure the frame-to-engine ground-strap is intact and connected tightly on both ends.

I was driving my 1994 isuzu rodeo and lost complete power.Got a few jumps and truck wont start.sounds like it wants to start when i turn key over.I also put gas in and still nothing

run the fault codes
check for cam/crank position sensors failure, immobilizer failure , pump operation
could be a failed ECM
have the battery load tested as it may be the original fault and jump starting may have caused a power surge and damaged the ECM

03 beetle 2.0 ran out of gas and car wont start and backfires

Possible that it has sucked water and sediment off bottom of tank causing a lean backfire no start. Have you tried spraying carb cleaner into the throttle body to see if it tries to run on that ? As Ray said it is possible timing jumped.

Car was cranking fine then I shut it off went in a store and came out and it wouldn't turnover, so I thought the battery was dead so I got someone to jump me off. But when we put the cables on and waited a...

Hold on!!! 3 elements, power/spark/fire, fuel, air. If the car cranks, there is power, if it wont ignite it's usually the fuel system, did you check your fuel level? If you smell gas and its cranking then theres an air problem but thats rare. And people, if you have a car sit for a month or so, yes you may end up with a drained battery as some cars have alarm systems built in. or like my 79 vette a phantom power leach. And please jump your vehicles properly, first leave jumping car running, connect red/+ to good battery then Red+ to bad car then neg black- to bad car battery terminal then black to frame of good car. never hook up cars while jumper car is not running as the drain is immediate and you may end up with 2 dead batteries. and just because you start dead car doesnt mean the battery is charged for the next start up, you have to charge it with alternator by driving at least a good hour. if your battery is good then go to fuel system...start with the tank hole...is there gas, next is pump, then filter then carb or injection but fuel regulators and hoses are there too. good luck

Truck cranks and cranks but wont start

check and see if the gas is getting to the carb, maybe a bad fuel pump. open gas cap and listen for the pump as someone else turns on the key.should hear the pump run a few seconds.

The car wont start

You probably blew a headgasket and now there's water in the combustion chamber. It's a condition called hydrolock. You can't compress water and the engine won't turn over. Remove all the spark plugs and try turning the engine over for about 30 seconds. That should blow the water out thru the spark plug holes. Try jumping the battery with another car or get a car battery charger to juice up your battery.
