1997 buick skylark will turn over but won't start

Fuel pump is bad or related parts. Pressure is variable. It can b testd. But if its nevr bin changd..may b du. Startr fluid is for weak spark or compression

Your car's alarm might have bad wiring or connectors. You could try cleaning & reconnecting them. Or use a multimeter to see if you can find connectivity issues.

If the alarm itself might be the culprit, having a garage remove/disconnecting it is the cheapest solution (less than a $100), having it replaced could be really expensive ...

you might have used wrong bulb

Try turn key on car but not start for few min.Call dealer for alarms ask ththem.Or get online.

if the wheels are turned you can try to remove the pressure on the steering wheel by turning the steering wheel just a little and then try turning the the key.sometimes when there is too much pressure against the steering the key won`t turn,if this is the problem.you also can try to use another key as if the one your using is worn enough it may not turn and another one will.if neither of these suggestions will work then you may have to replace the ignition key switch and keys.

does the engine rev up but the car goes no where thats your transmission have the fluid changed if its dirty more info would help me help you more be more detail on what cars doing does it just die sometimes

I have a 97 buick skylark with 3.1 engine, car turns over but wont start, replaced crankshaft sensor, coil module pack and checked fuel pump, but still won't fire, no spark at plugs, has anyone went through this problem and what is the cure

sound like powertrain control module is not powering up everytime

Check your connections to your battery and that means both pos and neg posts make sure they are clean .....your belt is next.....then have your battery tested.

if starter fluid made it chug, I would suspect fuel pump fuse, relay or pump, also fuel filter.
