So anyway had a problem with her not starting one day...i drove it the day before and all of a sudden the next day i went out to start her and nothing...no fire notta.....Troubleshooting process..
1. checked the battery good voltage
2. checked the grounds like everyone says...looked good..
3. checked under the passenger footwell at all the circuits and tried the hot wire and bypass all the security nothing.....
4. after dreading the hey lets go out and buy 350.00 worth of jackstands and lifts....check the starter...LOW AND BEHOLD MY CULPRIT!!!!!
Now i say this to you cause before i even all of this occured i asked ole Wild bill curlee and he told me check the starter....LMAO and it was that...but i chose not to believe him...sometimes people the most obvious answer stares at you in the face...9 times out of 10 it is the real choice!!

You re totally right about it being an obvious thing, yet we think its something else...
I had an issue where my car wasn t running right and i thought it was knock sensors retarding timing and all kinds of stupid stuff.....Well i posted it here and i got feedback that it was OBVIOUSLY a hesitation. It sure was! I SOOOO APPRECIATE THE GUYS THAT HELP OUT ON THIS FORUM!!!
