Startup problem!
Hey guys, just a question, I went to start my 02 Z up today and it wouldn't start, the speedo/tac/lights all went throught the testing/startup process and then I heard a humming noise but the engine didn't start. Any ideas what could be wrong?

You either have a bad Theft Deterrent Relay (TDR),, bad solenoid,,, or a defective starter. I would also check to see if the main power wires and ground wires off the battery to the starter/engine are in good condition, clean and tight.
Mine does the same thing. If I continue to attempt to start the car, it will start. Havnt had time to sit down and mess with it. Guess, I get stranded one day and have to fix it.
