Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 Chevelle starting problem
Check the voltage at the starter end of the battery cable. Let us assume you have bright head lights, horn, dash lights don't dim when you crank. Any of the above check resistance of battery cables. -Original Message- From: chevelle-list-boun...@chevelles.net [mailto:chevelle-list-boun...@chevelles.net] On Behalf Of Peter Hnat Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 4:46 PM To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: [Chevelle-list] 69 Chevelle starting problem My Chevelle will not start or even turn over.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 Chevelle starting problem
In 4 months its possible a ground could of corroded, and also check your connections on the starter, while your checking your starter check the leads and see if you have power to it. If you dont its probably your switch or the connections on your battery. chevyl69 From: chevelle-list-boun...@chevelles.net [mailto:chevelle-list-boun...@chevelles.net] On Behalf Of howardsautob...@comcast.net Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 5:20 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 Chevelle starting problem I'd check your grounds. www.howardsbackyardautobody.com - Original Message - From: "Peter Hnat" To: chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 1:45:53 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [Chevelle-list] 69 Chevelle starting problem My Chevelle will not start or even turn over.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 Chevelle starting problem
Pete, Does the solenoid on the starter click ( assuming solenoid was not relocated)? Tap the solenoid a few times with plastic end of a screw driver in the event it is hung up. If you starter is correct for the car - you can get them rebuilt from $55 - $85. Check that you have a good connection coming from the + of the battery to the starter and that you have 12v coming from your ignition to the solenoid . If you have headers - it will make it a little more fun to remove the starter. -Krister - Original Message - From: "Peter Hnat " To: chevelle-list@ chevelles .net Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2010 3:45:53 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [ Chevelle -list] 69 Chevelle starting problem My Chevelle will not start or even turn over.
