starter shot probably

how many miles are on it?

[xupthree60]

i replaced the starter when i first got the car but i replaced it with a used one about 2,000 miles ago

[Jeremy]

bwahaha have fun replacing the starter. thats a bitch.

[xupthree60]

ive already done it like 20 times when i was trying to figure out why the car wouldnt start when i first got they car, cuz so much crap is on the back end and u cant get to it with the starter there and u cant check to see if it worked without the starter there lol i just want to make sure what the problem is tho, everyone says starter?

[slowion2]

most likely

check that all the leads that go to it (forget if it's just ring connectors or an actual harness) are actually there and in while you're down there

it mite be the tranny selector switch thingy...u know the switch that tell the pc its in park so u can start it

my buddy's just took a shit in his neon and u are expierencing the same shit he was

[xupthree60]

yeah thats what i was thinking, well i just got it up on ramps, i will take it out and if the starter is good or bad it will give us an answer

btw what did ur buddy have to do? and how much was it?

[brokenheadz2003]

pull apart halpf the tranny and install a new plate lookin thingy with contacts on it...it was about 100 bucks

ive never done it on a saturn tho so maybe its alot different

[xupthree60]

ok well thankfully it is the starter, i hooked it up to jumper cables and nothing.

unthankfully i think im gonna buy a new one with a lifetime warrrenty this time for 125 insted of a used one that takes a crap after 3 months for 40

[dream36realms]

I'm just throwing a bone here but is the silanoid thingy attached to the starter or is it in a remote location?

[Jeremy]

did you attach the battery cable? the fusable link? the trigger wire?
