One day my starter just suddenly didnt move at all and there are no rapid clicking noises from my solenoid. The first time I thought I just didnt turn the key all the way or something so i just turn the key again and the engine turns over and starts right up. But then i got curious when i got home, and tried to start it up again but it just sat there silent. all accessories work and all fuses are fine. I can hear what i think is the fuel pump behind me and the weird thing is if i leave my key in the on position a buzzer goes off, a loud one which sounds just like the red line warning buzzer. It also comes from my cluster which just makes me think its coming from the tach. the only problem i had earlier was my tachometer suddenly didnt work, right on start up it would reach about 2k to 3k(gas pressed down) and then the tach would just die, this started to happen about 3 days before it died. and it would never move until the next time i would start it up. Any ideas whats wrong i dont mind the tach i can shift from memory, just need her to start up cuz its my commuter to school.

P.S. I did wash the engine bay but i made sure to cover the alternator, coils, airfilter and AFM, and took out the battery when washing. i didnt do any major scrubing and just sprayed on some simple green and then rinsed off all the built up grime and such with a regular hose. it did start up right away when i washed it and it did start up countless times after the wash. about one day later the tach acted up and 5 days later it died.

And the battery should be fine cuz its actually a new one and after just recently drove on the highway so it has a nice powerful charge. I did check basics like the conection at batter teminals and went under the car and tightened up a loose bolt on the starter. had a ground like wire to it but still no change.

Your starter could just be dead, take it out and have it tested.

My tach did that on my old RX7 every now and then. It never bothered me, but you you are super concerned just get up to speed and then flick the car from on to off and then back to on and it should come back. And the redline buzzer still goes off when the tach doesn't work.

The buzzer can be caused by, low coolant, low oil, or redline.
