Check if you get power from ignition switch to starter solenoid, direct on top of the starter motor, if not, try to link the starter solenoid with a direct wire from battery plus. if you connect the solenoid with a wire, it need to pull the starter in and switch the starter on. if that work, check wiring from solenoid to ignition switch. if that doesn't work, remove the starter and check them out side the car or have them checked from a specialist. if wracked, replace the starter motor.

2001 honda civic wont turn over, battery-starter-good, timing belt good, engine will turn by hand but when attempting to start it just clicks. Im leaning towards the ckp sensor

The crank sensor only comes into play while the engine is cranking or running to tell the computer where TDC is.
A no crank issue would be only the starting or security system.
Do you have battery power at the starter when the key is in the start position ? Are the battery cables clean and tight on both ends ?

MY CAR WILL NOT CRANK I REPLACED THE STARTER, ALTERNATOR AND FUEL PUMP. AFTER THAT IT STILL WILL NOT CRANK. WHAT COULD IT BE???

No crank means dead battery, jump it or get a new battery. If your battery was not dead and you didn't get fuel or it did not start you would get a cranking noise and no starting

1997 chevy s-10 6cyl won't start with new battery. Engine turns, but it won't crank.

crank no start? I would check for fuel pressure on these models, the fuel pump module is quite often repalced. Then I would check ignition cap and rotor. Cap get white with corrosion and rotor green.

I replaced the starter on voyager it has 3.3 the battery has been tested and good, however after I installed the starter it has a slow role like the battery is dead, and it wont start. the connections...

If the connections from the battery to the starter solenoid is good, the ground of the battery is good and the ground of the engine is good then the starter must crank well.
If there is slow cranking it is due to a faulty flywheel connection to the starter pinion, a tight engine/ faulty timing setting..... assuming that the battery and starter motor is double checked.

1995 mercedes e320 does not start. The engine does not catch.

1- If engine is not cranking but hearing a click then

a- Problem with battery.

Try to jump start then if battery is over 5 years, replace battery

b- Solenoid works but not the starter.

Need to repalce the starter.

2- If engine is cranking but not catching on, then the problem is with the Bendix part. it is an intergrated part of the starter.

Replace the starter.

My 1997 jeep grand cherokee cuts off while driving or wont crank

If you have the 4.0l inline 6 and you mean buy "cuts off" that the engine stalls at the stop light or refuses to start from time to time...this engine has a well know problem with the crank position sensor, if it is bad or the connection loose or incorrect, you will have this problem
