Stumped on starting problem
Hi,
I've been working on my Corolla 96 and still can't get it to start. I was wondering if anybody had any other checks or ideas for me.
Prob: Had problems starting the car, then it wouldn't start at all. When i tried to start it, you could hear the starter relay click and a hum, that's it.
What I've checked and done:
- battery is fully charged
- battery is grounded ok... atleast the wires from the negative pole
- starter relay is ok - checked for contenuity (sp?) and is ok
- removed and replaced the starter
The starter is a used one but the mechanic tested it while I was there... the unit spins and the plunger moves in and out.
I was wondering if maybe it's another loose ground... at the starter maybe?
Not sure if it's normal but when I reconnect the + on the battery there are small sparks, not sure if this has any relevance.
Thanks again
Sylvain
