2002 Cavalier LS, Replaced Starter, still wont start.
10

Asked by Michael Jan 20, 2015 at 11:05 PM about the 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier LS Coupe FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I got in my car this morning and it started right up as usual, driving down the road, I
shifted into third and was accelerating when it just shut off. No sputtering or anything,
just turned off. Radio etc. were still on and power seemed strong so I don't think its the
alternator. Replaced the starter and nothing. The starter spins, but doesnt sound like
the engine is trying to turn over. No belts lost. My father said maybe the clutch ignition
switch, what else could it be?

I hadn't tried push starting yet, but I will when I get home.

Tried jumping the car today to see rule out the battery and alternator, but that didn't help, even after letting it charge for a bit. I was able to borrow a diagnostic tool and got "no codes". I'll try push starting tomorrow when I'll have help to push the car back up my drive way and out of the road after letting it roll.

Ok, so I had a friend come over that works on cars. Said it sounded like I wasn't getting any fire so he tested all my fuses and the ignition. He said there was juice coming through to the ignition module but it stopped there. He checked the spark plugs and said they were fine so I replaced the ignition module and ignition coil (both non-returnable) still nothing.

    2002 cavalier won't start. No crank. Lights work. Makes kinda of a crackling sound when trying to crank. Noise seems to be coming from right in front of dash under the hood.
