    car won't start details inside

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I drove around yesterday morning just fine, stopped for lunch, came back out and nothing. Push started it and got it home, drove fine. I bypassed the clutch postition switch and still will not start. No codes either.

    Could it be the ignition or the starter? Why no codes?

    Thanks for any input!

    What happens when you turn the key? Crank? Click? Could be a dead or dying starter if you can push start it but the engine doesn't turn with the key.

    Yeah im getting ready to check mine. Maybe the "tap" fix will work

    So do you have to remove the front lock carrier/bumper to replace the starter?
