HELP!!! 93 Chevy Corsica
|

Here's the situation. My 93 Chevy Corisca will not start. Before it stopped altogether, I had gone to work one day and the car would not turn off despite my turning the ignition off and removing the key. Now it will not start at all. When you turn the key, the lights engage as if you are starting the car but the car will not turn over. We just moved and I need to move my car from the old driveway to our new one. We know the problem, but don't get paid until after the first and we need to have the car off the property before then. We even tried a remote ignition and it did not work. Any suggestions as to how to get the car to temporarily start so we can move it until we can afford to get it repaired...and no.. I do not know anyone with a car dolly nor do I have the $$ to get a tow right now. Is there something that we can do to get it out of there before our former landlady has my car towed at my expense to some unknown location??? Please reply back asap.
Thanks,
Leslie

If you know the problem tell us and we can suggest some tricks!
You said it doesn't "turn over" -- what does that mean? Doesn't start or doesn't crank at all?

Be sure the battery voltage is 12.6volts and battery posts tight. Apply Wd40 to bad connections
Get one battery jumper cable lead and hook it to the positive battery post. Hook the other end to a long thin screwdriver or kitchen knife insulated with black tape up to - but not covering the point. Lay down on your back under the right front bumper area and look up to locate that big round black starter with wires attached.
Look for the orange wires tied to one of the smaller connector terminals of the starter. Cut the ignition switch on so the display operates. Carefully put the screwdriver or knife tip up to the smaller threaded post on the starter with the orange wires. That should make the solenoid engage the starter and start the car. I said carefully because - there are other metal parts you do not want to touch while attempting to connect to the solenoid post. If that doesn't work hit the starter with a hammer while touching the orange connection terminal.

there is a small part under the steering column that pushes and pulls a linkage deeper into the steering column, activating the starter. this part is driven by a pinion on the ingition switch. this part is probably broken; if you remove the lower cover on the column, you can use a screwdriver or other tool to push this piece away from you to start the car, and pull it toward you to shut off the car. Been there done that. It ain't easy though
