you need 3 things to start an engine: 1) the engine has to crank; this uses the starter and associated wiring, switches, and relays (solenoids).
2) Gas or fuel; this entails the carbuerator or fuel inject systems to be in good order.
3) Spark; has to happen at the right time in the right sequence of events and includes the spark plug, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if so equipped) and a condenser for points type ignition systems. Also the ignition coil(s) must work. They produce the high voltage for the spark.
No. A bad starter would cause the car not to start.
You need to replace the starter.
Does the engine crank over?
BAD STARTER OR TIMING OFF LEAKING FLOATS
Unless misalignment is extreme vehicle should start, but excessive wear is placed on starter (bearings)
Corrosion on the wires, bad starter or starter solenoid, worn flywheel or flexplate, many things. Even just corroded battery terminals could cause no start.
Starter drag? Injectors leaking - vapor lock? Starter drag? Injectors leaking - vapor lock?
I had the same problem. I took it to a mechanic and they told me it was the ignition switch.
How does it not start? is it cranking? Could be many things, battery, starter, etc.
An Electrical Short Cut somewhere would cause it to blow the fuse. A pinch wire would ground the system, and cause a shortcut.
I think it could be your starter. Generally when it's cold, the starter mechanism gets stuck. This can happen if the starter is especially 7 years old or more. Good luck!!
Low battery, bad connection or starter.
