    I hear the hum of the fuel pump, but when i turn the ignition the engine tries to turn over, but nothing happens.

  • mvs0978 Sep 04, 2009

    I have been recently trying two or three times to get it to turn over. Bad starter perhaps?

  • mvs0978 Sep 04, 2009

    I got the battery replaced back in Feb, and the alternator soon thereafter. So most likely its my starter or the solenoid? Just tried to start a minute ago, all i get is the hum of the fuel pump. Engine doesnt try to turn at all. The times it has, it has been very choppy.

    Just one single click from the turn of the ignition, then nothing.

    have the battery tested 1st, if it is ok then suspect the starter motor solenoid.

    still have the battery tested, I went through 3 Kragen auto premium batteries before giving up and buying a Delco brand, that was years agO and still going strong, the lesson i learned? Delco and Motorcraft batteries are the best money can buy, it may not be the problem but at least eliminate it before replacing the starter, also check to make sure the starter solenoid wire has 12 volts when u hold the key in the crank position, the wire is PURPLE IN COLOR, IF IT DOESN'T GET HOT THEN YOU MAY HAVE A DEFECTIVE NEUTRAL START SAFETY SWITCH OR IF MANUAL TRANS A DEFECTIVE CLUTCH SAFETY SWITCH...

Have a 1999 chrysler seabring coup started fine yesterday morning drove kid to school came home put brakes on it started it pump the brakes few time put n reverse died wont start

HI,THAT IS A USUAL ISSUE RELATED TO THE ELECTROMAGNET WHICH IS ENGAGED ON "P or N" position.Charge your battery overnight,try your handbrakes,if they work fine,just leave the car in whenever you stop and put your handbrake on.This won discharge then the battery unless there is a unrelated electrical fault in the system.
