Meadus's Car is a POS.
 

So, My Alero won't start.

Last time, it was ice in the ignition, I won't make myself look like an idiot here again.



Got in (hasn't ran since thurs, in which in ran in a snow storm)

Turned the key, Waited for the Fuel pump to stop (sounds fine)
and turned it to start, it sounded normal. after 3 seconds I turned it back and the car just didn't catch.

turned to off, waited a second, turned to on, waited for the pump (again, sounded fine) and went at it again for another 3 seconds. nothing.

plugged in the block heater to warm it up and allow the car to start better. waited an hour, and nothing.

No lights except the ones that always come on when in the on position an the engine is off. no flashing lights, oil is fine, and about 1/4 tank of gas. who has some ideas?

turn it on, wait for the pump, turn it off. turn it on, wait for the pump, and just a second before the pump stopped humming, turn it over.

mine did that when my fuel injector orings were shot.

Thanks for the reply. Didn't work though.

video plz?

you have the 3.4?

hmm... could be nates dreaded head gaskets...

2.4 LD9.

I can make a video in the morning when it's light out.

What angles do you guys want me to record? Under the hood, from the drivers seat?

both plz...also under the car

I'll do those vids in the morning.

Anyone got ideas on other stuff i can look for too?

try to leave car in on position for a good 15-20 mins then crank it over. maybe your security light isn't flashing for some reason.

That's usuallly the cure for Passlock. Passlock will flash the security light. The fact that my security light isn't flashing but just staying lit and going away is what makes me indicate that it's not passlock.

how did you have ice in the ignition?

My guess is I dropped the keys in the snow the night before when i was on my way to the car, got up the next morning and the ignition was frozen solid. had to take a heat gun and blast it in there for a few minutes.

moveh?

I just woke up! I'm on my way out now. Gawd! hahaha.

Less than 20 minutes with the editing and uploading.

thanks mead, you can also give me a call, i think your canucks have U.S.A dialable numbers (never dialed one)

Appreciate the help. I run on a cell phone only and it'll cost me a fortune to call one of those weird formatted US numbers.


Pssst: they're exactly the same up here. (Canadians invented the Telephone :P)



Here's the Videos, Windows Movie maker was being a douche and wanted me to convert the videos first, so I uploaded the Raw shots to Youtube and said to hell with it.
