My starter was going dead in my car, I know this because i had to tap on it in order for the car to start. Eventually the starter stopped functioning and I had to replace it. When I started to take te old starter out there was a spark arc. I forgot to disconnect the battery! Then I unhooked the positive side of the battery, and replaced the starter. Hooked everything back up and NOTHING! The car wouldn't start. I checked ALL of my fuses they are all good, recharged the battery, installed a brand new ignition switch tested my connections from the battery to the starter (all good), all lights come on when the ignition is turned but I get NO power from the ignition to the starter! What is causing my car from not starting?
Check at the starter for a fuseable link wire as well as at your fuse panel for a possible blown fuse or a bad relay

it might be in your ignition still try turning it from the first click acc to stat and dont stop on the on position thats how mine is

You may have bad solenoid, starter/battery/solenoid connections, or gound.
Check voltage at starter solenoid when somebody turns key to start. That is where the starter switch, or relay, sends the voltage to pull in the solenoid coil through small wire. I think the solenoid is on the starter for this car, but it may be separate. Autozone has an excellent web site with car-specific repair guides and instructions. You should see 12V at solenoid every time the key is turned to start.
Check big power cable to starter that runs direct from the battery for tight connections. If you have a separate solenoid, then another big cable runs from it to starter. A loose or bad connection could be the culprit. Also check starter mount bolts. They need to be tight for a good solid electrical ground. You also need good ground from frame to engine. Its a long shot, but sometimes the ground straps come loose or burn. You can easily check this by measuring resistance between engine block and negative battery terminal. It should be zero or darn near zero (less than 1 ohm ?).
The solenoid is really a heavy duty swich to handle the high amp load to the starter. It works by a coil that pulls in the big switch. The coil operates from the starter switch and needs onlyt low current and small wire. If the coil wires burn up or there is a bad connection, it won't work. Hope this helps.

do you change the engine oil your car crosses the maximum miles with the old engine oil once your engine oil density become very low you will get the black smoke (or) you need to check the radiator water wether water and coolant is in correct level or not if it is in correct level you need to change the oil

You may have a bad ignition switch. The contacts in it "turn on" several different things at once.
