Title: starting issues Post by: shadowmab on August 15, 2008, 02:16:14 PM I'm having trouble again with my 85 fiero. it won't start, the engine won't even crank. every time i tried to start it instead of cranking there is a loud buzzing sound. I don't know if its the starter or something else. I really need some help, school starts in about a week and I need a ride. this started happening about four days ago, I was about to leave from the store, I turned the key i heard one crank and it just started to buzz as if the starter was jammed. i really need some help.

I has the same problem.Your battery is dead. Charge it, replace it, and tighten your alternator belt. That seems to be the universal fix. >.> <.< Title: Re: starting issues Post by: shadowmab on August 18, 2008, 11:22:59 PM ok i tried charging the battery nothing out of that, i just bought it not even a month ago. i just replaced the alternator and the belt about two weeks before i changed the battery. this car is driving me crazy!!!

Can you tell by sound if its actually engaging the flywheel or if its just clicking in place? Title: Re: starting issues Post by: shadowmab on September 01, 2008, 08:55:12 PM Ok I pulled out the starter this morning tested it, it was fine so I put it back in place. I switched out the battery and put the one I had in my saturn in to the fiero and it started up just fine so I left it. I put the other battery in the saturn and it started up just fine. The car is playing with my head.

Title: Re: starting issues Post by: shadowmab on September 28, 2008, 10:00:06 AM ok i found the problem, i pulled out the starter and had it tested. it passed but one of the posts was loose so after tightening it i reinstalled it and guess what it started. so after about two weeks of driving i was reported to the dmv for excess pollution, i'm burning so much oil. they told me that if i got pulled over for that reason i will be fined $1500. so i'm parking it for now until i save up enough for my tuition and a new engine. i was looking at this 350 small block but i don't know yet, i want something that i can keep upgrading after i get ou t of college.
