Re: My 91 "faked me out" with a no start- anything to check?
Check simple things first:
1- Make sure that if you have the usual logo replacement floor mats that are 3 times the thickness of the originals, that it indeed lets you depress the clutch pedal ALL of the way. Occasionally, the mat may slide forward and up, and while you think you are depressing it fully, you may be missing it by a little.
2- Check your battery connections. I know they LOOK tight, but grab the wrench and make sure that they ARE tight.
3- Battery? How old? On a Battery Tender? These cars are VERY sensitive to battery condition. If you have even mildly reduced voltage, strange things happen. Check it or charge it, then check it.
4- When you turn the key, observe if you have a deflection of the volt meter needle. It should move when you bump the key.
If you see no movement, you may not be getting by the clutch switch, the VATS, or the theft deterrent system.
Rule out the obvious and simple causes FIRST.
Find the no start sticky and march through it!
Let us know of your progress.
