New Need With Starting Up my car agian =(

[LadyJdm]

Hi everyone again but i have another problem!!!

My car wont start, before it wouldnt start sometimes, and it would only start when u pushed it bak wards, so we replaced the starter.

But now that we installed it it would make a cranking sound, and a sound from the spark plugs would come out, and some sparks i guess also, so i was woundering if it could be a brunt out spark plug? Or maybe wires that need to be replaced, cause like i said, it only turns on when u push the car bakwards so please help me out!!!!!

Thank you!

It would only push start while going backward?

yes idk why, but everyone says that it isnt the starter then, it has to be spark plugs or something, but i have no clue =/ has anyone had this happen to theirs before???

You got to give us a little more to go on.
1.You need to pull the plugs and check compression. Look at the plugs are they black(running rich) or whitish color(running lean). Does the coil have good spark?
2. Check fuel pressure. 35lbs-45lbs. Replace fuel filter.
3. Does the computer have any stored codes.
Do a little more checking and we will try to help.

definatkey do a compression test and check the alternator i just had that problem today but without my car turning on by oushing it backwards:barfkiss:

Give us more info on the car-
1. Model, Motor
2. How the hell would it be your spark plugs causing you to push the car backwards to start it, what is diffrence from starting forwards/backwards...
3. Check all that rioredstang stated... check the ecu for codes, thats your best bet...

ok, i replaced the starter/alternator/battery and it work good, but like i said u can only push start it, and we mite of found the problem,"mite be the little rubber seal that makes contact to the clutch" but we bought the part and we will see by wesenday, cause we replaced the alternator but it was tighten to tight, so the tension screw broke, so we are ordering a new one.

but if it doesnt start after i replace all those things, then what can it be?????

and thats what i said about the spark plugs! why the hell do i need to replace those?
but i guess the motor is very old (single cam KA engine) and its pretty dirty with all the parts lol, but i looked under my car and engine and its a real mess, cause wires are mixed around and zipped tide and i guess some spark plugs arent connected right? from my boyfriends view, but i thought that mite be a problem cause it clicks when u try to turn it on. and it sparks sometimes, so maybe theres no eletric connection going through right???

its real weird =/....*TEARS*
