as usual! not leaving home until the last moment for work, i get in my car to start it ... the engine make is making a usual sound but is not cranking it ... need suggestions ... what could be wrong .. i would like to fix it myself . thanks i have 95 maxima gle

 

There are a few thing it can be. 1)fuel pump fuse. (easy)
2)fuel pump not good ($$$) it is under passenger seat.
3)youre outta gas!!!

 

the car has a full tank .. the feeling that i am getting is that the car is trying to start sound being generated but it does not seem to be turning the motor ... do you think a belt might be broken? or something that is not rotating the engine ...

 

does any one know an answer to this... why the car is making a sound as if it trying to start but not rotating the engine.. it makes a sound but you dont feel any vibration??? plz i wanna know what needs to be done ... whether to buy a new car vs fix it ..

 

did u check fuses

 

check the battery cables

 

the battery is fine and the fuses are fine ... somehow it is not rotating the engine or something ... i hope nothing is broken inside ...

 

same thing happen to me yesterday. try leaving the A/C to off before you start. it worked for me...

 

Maybe your starter is bad. What I understand from your post is that you are cranking, but the engine is not actually moving. Can you verify this?

 

yes exactly .... i jumped the battery using the other car and after several repeated attempts it started but there was a shrill belt like sound that kept on coming and then vanished .. now i am driving it but worried if it happens again !
