    if you try to start a car while it is in a gear other than P or N the key will turn but nothing happens.

  • cpeichman Apr 06, 2009

    to emissionwiz. I know the car is only supposed to start in park or neutral, you asked to explain what I meant, you turn the key to start and nothing happens, the car has a new battery.

Does it make any noise. Clicking check the starter. Sylinoid may be bad.

2003 pontiac grand am 3.4 having problems with ignition.put new ignition now it wont start because of the theft system.does the new ignition need to be programed?

try this: turn key to on position, do not start. leave key in on position, let car set for 15 minutes then start. if everything else is working correctly, this should relearn the key security. good luck!

2003 pontiac grand am 3.4 having problems with ignition.put new ignition now it wont start because of the theft system.does the new ignition need to be programed?

Yes the system has to be programmed and you can do this yourself.Just make sure the battery is fully charged and attempt to start then release the key but do not turn it off just release it as if it had started.the security light will remain on for about 10 minutes and then go off.After it goes off.Turn the ignition off and wait 5 seconds.Then turn the key on and start the car.It should start and run now.The body control module has learned the new key.Hope this helps.Good luck.

sounds like your altenator is bad. it will bring down your battery. your serpintine belt could also be bad and slipping. my bet is the altenator went bad and your batteru is now bad also. replace both and you should be good to go

Car wont start...sometimes

Sounds like a bad starter solenoid, usually cheapest and easiest to replace the starter and solenoid as a unit. It is always best to check for power between the solenoid and the starter with a test light, if the solenoid clicks but the test light doesn't light up you have found the problem in the solenoid.

Wont start

make sure transmission is in park.

slide a stick or twig up underneath the steering column which will hold a specialized switch in place. Try the ignition. Should it start, the actual problem in the transmission interlock switch for the transmission [located in the center console] which also protects the ignition from turning on [secondary switch prior to the ignition switch]. What a ***** to have found... took me 8 hours but GM wanted 800$ for the fix.
