![]() ![]() I set my scanner to watch the PNP switch status. Now we are troubleshooting the Transmission range switch. The info my Son sent mentioned to check the PNP switch to ensure it showed Park/ did when key on ACC and when on RUN it would sometimes flip to "In gear" when it wouldn't start. (Later I found that the ECM is programmed to check for a failed relay and won't turn on the fuel pump if it''s failed.) At least I had a way to get it started now. It cranked like a trooper, strong and fast but when I put the relay back in and cranked, it started. From them I rigged up a jumper wire on the starter relay so I could jump the starter solenoid to the battery to crank the engine. Installed it and it is obviously much stronger, started 20 times in driveway and off I went to the grocery store.came out, damn no crank, no start. I found a local re-builder, he charged $130 and had it ready in a couple of hours and it looked good as new. Rockauto wanted $85 Canadian for a new, not rebuilt starter but I couldn't wait a week for delivery. Put the Aura up on ramps, removed the starter again while removing the nut holding the lug feeding the starter motor the Bakelite broke, now I needed a replacement starter or at least solenoid.Īuto parts store wanted $250 Canadian. Hit the starter a few times and got it going.must be the starter.picked up my wife so I could get both cars home. ![]() Got a taxi home, borrowed a neighbor's car and went back with some tools. Had a helpful Walmart customer turn the key while I tapped on the starter. Went to Walmart, came out, no crank, no start. It started perfectly in the driveway 20 times. I cleaned up the connections and lugs then reinstalled it. It gradually got worse so I removed the starter and bench tested it. Usually after a few tries the engine would run. The engine would crank but sometimes stop cranking and felt as though the starter got stuck. It began as an intermittent start condition. Long story but just wanting to relay my experience with a recent starting problem in hopes it can help others fix it if it happens to them. ![]()
