Default not starting.

SR
got my starter checked out, auto zone said it was bad, but i took it to a specialty shop that only does starters, they said it was good.

i put the starter back on and its doin the same ish, not turning over, not even clicking.

CFP has a starter for $150, i was thinkin i could give him 150 and put that starter on the car and take it back if it doesnt work,

it seems like the starter cant spin the flywheel, like maybe the flywheel is stuck or somethin is wrong with the engine.

Can you push start it?


Might be the Engage spring in the starter, try tapping the back of it with a hammer or something to try to unstick the piece that pops up into place.

Try pop starting it.

That might help give you an idea as to what it is.

Did you make sure your battery isn't dead?

it may be the relay? not to sure about nissan's though.

I had basically the same problem on my mitsu GST. We bypassed the relay and made it a push button start. All I remember doing is running a line from the battery to the push button, and push button to the starter. And another line from the starter to a ground. Put the key in and turn the ignition on then push the button and it cranked up fine.

...just a thought
