So i've been having some recent problems getting my car to try and turn over. When the engine actually attempts to turn over it turns over perfectly. The problem is getting it to try and turn over. Ill turn the key my stuff will turn on but nothing out of the engine. Well tonight it would try and turn over no matter how hard i tried. I had to push the car and pop the clutch to get it started. I have a 95 Gxe 5spd. Any help would be apreciated thanks

 

same thing happens 2 me. i have no idea y

 

Its just weird cause it worked perfectly for like 2 weeks and the all of a sudden stopped working completely. I think its either the sensor for having the clutch pedal down or the actual starter itself going bad

 

Does anyone else have any oppinions on what could it be? i havent been able to figure it out

 

CEL on? any codes?

 

The Check Engine is on i know that im getting knock and rear o2 codes im getting my scanner either tonight or by friday this week its being shipped. What could cause it not to let the car start though? it used to start after playing with it for awhile but now it wont start at all

 

the sensor by the timing chain cover. i happened to me last week car wouldnt turn over first it died a couple of times then it wouldnt turn over at all. im not sure of the name but i believe its the crank sensor or cam sensor but its the one thats on the side of the timing chain cover

 

Does that sensor send a code? and if so where could i get the part and is it worth replacing myself?

 

it is the cam sensor takes about 5 min to change very simple. it should throw a code and i paid around 80 bucks from the dealer and they stock plenty must be a common problem.but before you change it make sure its plugged in and no loose wires

 

Check your ignition switch. This cured ALL of my hard starting problems. I've been trouble free for almost 6 months now. Oh and BTW the ignition switch won't turn on the CEL.

 

By the ignition switch u mean the button the clutch pedal pushes in when u press on the clutch?

 

No its a switch behind the key cylinder, the part you stick you key in. Over time it wears out and harder starting occurs. Its a $35 part and takes about 15 min to install.

 

Is there any links to either how to fix the cam sensor is the ignition switch?
