The AC is separate from the starter and the bigger problem now is the starter. If the battery is fresh and the starter connections are good, one should see a draw of 75 AMPS to 125 AMPS and hear the starter vigorously turn the engine over.

If it takes less than 1 amp and doesn't turn over, it's also a starter issue.

The AC fan is probably going bad, at the same time, causing the a/c to kick in when the fan would blow.

Hope this helps.

I have a 98 catera and while driving i hit a hole in the road and the car died and wont start can you tell me what is wrong

When you say it wont start do you mean you turn the key and get nothing or you turn the key and the engine turns but wont start or what? Did it die when you hit the hole or just not start later? It may be the neutral safety switch if it just wont start

96 chevy cav. 2.2 died after hitting a bump,wont start,but if i hold pedal all the way down, sounds like it is firing on one cylr. but wont get running

Probably something got loose after hitting the bump.
Check the fuel pump, maybe a fuse got loose or burn, or maybe there is no electricity running to the fuel pump.

98 ford windstar knocks when i hit a bump

Check the ball joint, tie rods ( inner and outer ), sway bar end link and the strut for a broken spring or strut mount/bearing. It could also be something as simple as the battery being loose. I hope this was helpful for you.

1993 nissan maxima 3.0 standard transmision will not shift into first or second gear. it goes into all other gears fine and the clutch is working good. i disconected the shifter from the linkage and it...

try pushing the gear selector button in and pulling the gear selector into 1st gear position, if it doesnt catch, leave it aligned with the "1" on the panel, let go of the button, then once the gear selector (shifter) is staionary int he 1 position pull back on it slightly without pusing in the button..

Hit the gas and see if it catches.. it is likely, you have a worn catch for the two gears that aren't grabbing.. if you hit speed bump or pot hole you may have to pull back on it genly while driving to get the gear back...

Let me know if this works
