help my buddies gs wont start in my drive way

Post by mzdamx3rsdohc »

hey we need urgent help. my buddies gs 1.8 v6 is sitting in my driveway and wont start. we welded a muffler on drove it and it ran great 3 seperate times and started no problem. we took out the air filter box after unplugged the maf put a cone on, went to start no start. went back under pade sure the vaf wAS PLUGGED in it was but had to be switched as it was on backwards, went to start still didnt fire. put it all back to stock and it still wont start. when u crank it u hear the fuel pump and one light click in the engine no cranking at all. clutch sensor seems to be working fine. we tried boosting it thinking it was the battery and still the same thing. all the main fuses appear alright(under the hood). havent tried a jump start as my house is on a hill and it would be a b-tch to push back up. do u think that would help?

mind did the same thing a while back. the contacts in the clutch safety switch was sticking. So I unpluged it and put a jumper wire in. If thats not it take out the multimeter and test to see where you have power on your starter. The largest one should be 12v all the time. The small one only gets power when you put the key in the start position.

you've probably got it running by now, however, if you haven't, check for corrosion on your battery terminals...
