went out last night to drive my 7 and what do u know it wont start u could hear the starter spinning and it did that for about 3 or 4 tries and the nothing the starter wont turn over or nothing what is my problem ....thanks

 

was the motor turning when you tried to start it? or you could only hear the starter spinning and the engine wasn't

if this is the case replace your starter

 

When the starter was spinning, was the engine turning over? Or was it spinning without engaging? You could have a starter gone bad, or a battery issue. Hard to tell with the limited info you gave.

 

no the motor wasnt spinning it was just the starter spining

 

i dont know the problem if the engine was turning over but the starter was??

 

Starter or solenoid is likely bad. Check the battery cables, on both ends, just to be sure.

 

ok well if it isnt either what else could it be??

 

take your hand and pull on the altenator belt,make sure you can turn engine over. yeah the starter has probably gone bad, no big deal though,ive had 19 first gens the starters have always took a **** on me. especially when i find one sitting for 10 years......

 

ok and if i cant turn that means????? cuzz i cant turn it i just tryed

 

Pull the lower plugs, try turning it again. Make sure the tranny is in neutral.

 

ok did that too it still wont turn

 

Try turning it backwards. Don't force it.

 

ok i got it too turn forgot to put in nuetrul

 

Easy mistake to make, that's why I mentioned it, experience.

 

lmao ok soo its my starter right ...what if i couldnt have turned it ??? what would that have been??

 

if i couldnt have turned it would that have been my motor locked up

 

You don't really want to know the answer to that.......

 

lol i will just shut my mouth

 

well acutlly i have one more question when i press my breaks my lights dont come on at all i have replaced the bulbs and everything but cant figure it out could it be my petal switch??or a short??

 

Brake light issue could be a fuse, or the switch on the pedal. The switch can be bad, or just stuck.

 

yeah it isnt the fuse

 

Check the switch. It could be the switch itself, or it could just be unplugged.
