Car starting issues

2004 Alero.. Yesterday I turned the key and it was trying to start but but wouldn't actuall fire up, I kept trying and finally on the 8 or 9th time it started. It kind of chugged a bit but did start. I had gas & I know its not a battery issue.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks in advance

If you have spark and good fuel pressure. The only way it wouldn't start is that the timing is off.

When i go to start my 2004 Alero all the gauge lights come on but it won't start. The starter is still good. What could the problem be? Someone suggested that it was the neutral safety switch.

Sounds like your anti theft security, first relearn the key. Insert key in the key switch and turn key without starting.Leave key this position for 10 minutes and then turn key off for 2 minutes.Do this 3 times.Try this and reply if it worked for you.

My 2000 Oldsmobile Alero will turn over but wont start...any solutions to this problem? I did recently replace the crankshaft position sensor.

my sister in-laws did the exact same thing. we replaced fuel filter pump and injectors. All the time it was old spark plugs. It kept cranking but wouldn't start. spent less than $20 on new spark plugs and it fired right up and is still running strong

My 2001 Oldsmobile Alero wont start, it trys to turn over, but no go. i can hear the fuel pump working, any ideas?

It could be a problem with the passlock system. Does the security light flash when you try to start it?

My Mazda mx3 starts up idles for a couple seconds then dies.

Before you replace the fuel pump, I would check the cheaiper parts first. Such as fuel filter and injectors.

Abs light stays on 2001 alero

My GMC Dealer said that the problem is caused by a short in the ignition/electrical system. (seems to be a problem for many). He also said that the ABS will NOT actually work while the light is on! All my dash warning lights, radio/clock, and sometimes even ignition(turning key) have problems. The car is drivable but not working correctly. Short term solution: turn key ON, wait 10-15 min, turn off for a few minutes to 'reset' and then try to turn car on. Worked for me yesterday. Good Luck!
