Turn the ignition and the engine barely cranks

Bad connect on ignition switch or need new one. First make sure batt is not old or bad or the connections there tu..includin startr

Without a scanner insert the key in to the ignition turn the ignition to on then off then on again then if again and then on do not crank the engine do this within seconds and then look for the check engine light to flash. 1 pause follow by two flashes is code 12 when there aren't any more codes to display the light will flash 5 times pause and flash 5 more times this is 55 indicating that the process is complete.

The first step is to narrow down the cause of the no-start.

Let's go over the process of starting the car, so you have a better understanding of what is going on when you turn the key:

Here is what happens on a properly running car:

• You sit behind the wheel and insert the ignition key into the switch.
  

• You then turn the key to the spring loaded start position. When you do that, the ignition switch engages the starter by connecting the battery to the electric starter motor which, in turn cranks the engine over. This can be easily heard and is referred to as cranking the engine over.
  

• The next thing you will hear is the engine running, which is your signal to release the key.
  

• At that point, the engine is running and you are ready to place the transmission selector in Drive and be on your way.

you need to access the trouble code to better define the problem. insert key into ignition. you will need to turn the key to the position just before the engine cranks; the dash lights will be on. now turn the key back one click. You need to do this a total of 3 times ending in the on position( dash lights on-not cranking). Your trouble code will either show on the odometer( if it's digital) or will blink on the check engine light. count the number of blinks-pause-blinks etc. jot the numbers down. You can google the numbers to see what system is at fault.

The component is a starter. When you insert your key into the ignition and turn it, you switch on the power to the coil and vehicle computers. By turning the key to the start position it will supply power to the starter and solenoid which cranks the engine until you release the key allowing to return to the ignition on position. If the battery is weak the starter solenoid may engage producing a clicking sound, but it will not crank the engine. Another test is to turn on the dome light and try to start the vehicle, if you see the dome light dim when you are trying to start the car the battery is weak or the starter has a short. Starters are temperamental at times and can be intermittent working sometimes and malfunction other times. Your ignition switch, fuse, or relay could also produce symptoms of your vehicle not cranking.

If the starter does not turn the engine over you will get no spark. Lets start over. You turn the key , does the engine turn over ? Does it turn over and not crank up and run?

IMPORTANT: Before entering programming mode, have in possession all of the remotes you will be using on the vehicle. Once you program the remotes , all previous codes will be erased from the memory. The other remotes will not be functional until you program the remotes again.
1. Close the vehicle doors.
2. Insert key in ignition and turn to ON (As far as you can without cranking engine)
3. Turn ignition OFF and remove the key from the ignition.
4. Press and hold the driver side door lock switch in the UNLOCK position.
5. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder and remove the key.
| (Do not turn the ignition key in the lock cylinder.)

6. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder and remove the key.
(Do not turn the ignition key in the lock cylinder.)

7. Insert the ignition key into the ignition lock cylinder. (Do not turn the
ignition key in the lock cylinder.) Leave the ignition key in the ignition lock
cylinder.
8. Release the door lock switch. The vehicle will sound three beeps in order to
verify the Program Mode has been activated.
9. Press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons together on the keyless entry
transmitter and hold until the vehicle beeps twice to verify that the
transmitter has been successfully programmed (this take approximately 15
seconds).
10. Perform the previous step to program up to four transmitters (including your
old ones).
11. Remove the ignition key in order to exit the Program Mode.

Hey there!

To find the code, get a pencil and paper, sit in the drivers seat and gaze at the instrument panel. insert your key in the ignition. (do not turn) Look at the dask and watch the area where the "check Engine" light comes on.. turn the key on-off-on-off-on (semi quickly) do not start the engine.
leave on . the engine light will start flashing. it's like morse code. it will flash a set of numbers then another, then pause, then next number and next, pause (for instance if it is a code twelve, it would flash as follows.. * (short pause) ** (longer pause) if there are other codes, it wil flash them too. so if there were say two codes, say 34 and 35 , it would flash as follows, *** (short pause) ****, (longer pause) ***(short pause)***** ( longer pause) it takes a little to watch the codes and write at the same time. sometimes helps if you have one person watch the light and one write the codes. If you miss one, don't worry it usually repeatseach code three times. if you can't get it quick enough, turn the key off, then wait two - three seconds and try again. let me know wha the codes are and I'll try and help you. good luck.
