Okay, first off, I know this thread doesn't belong here, I'm just trying to get this problem fixed relatively quickly, as I am selling my car in a few days and this is the pushrod forum that gets the most hits.
I need to know where my starter is, it doesn't seem to be working. Everytime I try to turn on the car, i hear the fuel pump go on, and when i turn the key to start the car, it just buzzes really loud. I'm assuming it's the starter. Battery holds volts, so I know its not them. Battery posts/cables are very clean and uncorroded. I don't know . . . is it the solenoid or the starter? Something dealing with the chip? The security light isn't coming on when I'm trying to start it, so that can't be it, can it? When I first got the car and got a key made without the chip (stupid, eh?) the car made the same noise when I tried to start it. I have another key with a chip in it and already tried it - same buzzing.
So, I just need to know what the problem is soon! And I'm curious if I would be able to do it myself (basic tools, little mechanical know-how). My parents want to send the car to DOBBS
to get this fixed! They said they'd rather me pay 150 dollars in labor for a 50 dollar problem than having myself or one of my brother's friends (very mechanically inclined) to do it for like 10 bucks (they seem to hate my brother and his friends, long story). Please reply soon! Thank you!
