As the previous answer suggests. Go back and re-check all the connections to the starter. I'm assuming you fitted a new part and not a used one. First check your battery is connected and Fully charged. A starter motor needs a lot of voltage to crank the engine over, (About 9 volts). Did you fit the small wire connector the correct way up? The block connector is usually shaped so it will only go in one way around. Is it seated all the way home? Some connectors 'click' when they are inserted correctly. Is the larger wire from the battery connected correctly and is it a shiney metal connector?
For tightness only the mount bolts to the engine block need to be tight. The large wire should be fitted by hand to finger tight then turned no more than about a quarter turn to take up any slack. Overtightening can break the threaded connector inside the starter breaking the electrical contact it needs.

Why does my 1989 Olds cutless ciera starter connections get red hot when starting the engine.

Before you do anything make sure your battery cables are clean and tight. Loose cables can do this as well. If that's not the problem
sounds like your starter is drawing too much power and is on it's way out. Could cause a fire Better get it fixed.

Car runs fine. Shut off go to restart lights work turn key and nothing happens.

sounds like when the starter gets hot it malfunctions.
Get a new starter installed to solve this problem.
Get one with a lifetime warranty, if possible, for higher quality parts and performance in hot weather.

Looking for codes for 92 cutless cierra the codes are 26 and 39

Hi,

I have a 2005 pt cruiser and i ran out of gas and got towed to get gas and after filling up i went to turn the car on and it wont start. It makes no noise and wont even turn over. The battery is brand new and all the lights and everything turn on. A red light blinks..not sure what that means or if that always blinks.. does anyone know the problem or how to fix it?

Wont turn over - cant jump it - lights and radio work - but it wont start. dont think its the alternator , could be the starter?

definately the starter. Alternator will have nothing to do with a no start condition if the battery is charged. if you can get a hammer on the starter try hitting it and dont worry about being gentle. have someone trying to crank it while you are doing this and you may get one more start out of it. I work at a shop and we need that one more start so we don't have to push it in the shop. don't waste your time-just put a starter in it. hope this helps.
