VW Jetta Won’t Start Sometimes – Engine Will Turn Over Though

Thanks for your time – I have a 2001 VW Jetta that is having a intermittent starting problems. I have taken it to the dealer & they cannot duplicate the problem. Sometimes the car starts, however recently the car will turn-over but not start. The dealer checked the charging systems & they appear to be fine. I notice when you unlock & open the doors there is a small motor sound. Could the starting have something to do with this motor? I noticed that if the motor does not sound the car will not start?? Thanks in advance Jeff

1996 Dodge Intrepid Battery Goes Down – Engine Won’t Start

I’m having trouble starting my 1996 Dodge Intrepid. The trouble started happening when a friend tried to hook up a cd player but was unable as the player was missing a part. I did notice a loose battery cable which I tightened. Then, it was ok for half a day. Next time I tried to start it the engine did not turn. I have lights, radio,etc. However, when you turn the ignition with the headlights on they do dim. Do you think it could be something electrical from messing with the wires for the cd player? Thanks so much for your help.

Renault Megane Classic Saloon 1.6 1999 Won’t Start Sometimes

query about my car, just bought it a week ago (used) and when being driven (even on motorways) the acceloration decreasing and the engine cuts out, it wouldnt start so i called the AA(recovery) and said there was a problem with the realy (the aa guy said it was the main relay), I had that changed and it happened today again (it cut off on the motorway) but it started fine. I also have a problem with the keys and the central locking not working, inside the key, theres a microchip that enables it to start and can cut out if not the right key. My question is, is the car stopping because of the faulty key, or it there another problem? please help, i havent a clue about cars.

Dodge Stratus Engine Will Turn Over But Won’t Start

My car has been having a problem starting and running. It is a 2000 Dodge Stratus. The engine will turn over but it will not start. The battery and alternator have been checked and they are fine. The car will run fine for a few days and then it just won’t start. It seems to be more of a problem when it has warmed up. It will usually start up after sitting all night, but it may take several tries. We took it to a mechanic and he said the fuel pump was bad.

VW Jetta Won’t Start Sometime – Starter Motor Burns up With Key Off

I have a 1997 VW Jetta (auto) with a 2.0 L engine. About a month ago, the car suddenly wouldnt start. So a mechanic I knew helped me to replace the starter. We thought the problem was solved. It was not. One week after replacing it, on a trip to KY the starter went out again.

1993 Toyota Camry Will Not Start Sometimes – But Engine Turns Over

The 1993 Camry has 84,000 miles and runs very good when it runs. The maddening problem is it may decide to start or not start today. The starter turns the engine over so no problem with starter or battery.
