Sounds like it could be the starter... take it out bring it to autozone and have them test it for you

i heard somewhere that if you hit the starter with a hammer and if it starts after that then it is the starter?

and if so do you literally have to hit where the key goes in lol?

Thats not the starter lol .... the starter is by the oil filter, on the front passenger side

take a long pipe and rest it on the started, then smack it a few times and it should start, go out-buy new starter

Make sure you connection to the battery is good, and that there isn't any corrosion on it.

Clean it with coke or baking-soda/water and tighten down the clamps.

Check all the connections that goto the battery.It sounds like you have a loose connection somewhere.

we figured it out, there used to be a car alarm on it, we took the fuse out and now were just looking into how disable the killswitch, anyone know how too?

bump help please!

[ilovesideways]

unwire the alarm from the ignition and rewire per FSM

[93240cooool]

what is FSM.

[ilovesideways]

Factory Service Manual, there is one online here on NICO

looks confusing.

[ilovesideways]

Yeah it can be, but I can't really describe it. Just follow the wires from the alarm and remove them and then rewire it...undo the battery before you do it.

lol wow, all i had to do was unplug a little blue wire and it cranked right up.

thanks for all the help though guys much appreciated
