Starting problems

I had an intermittent starting problem with my 2006 G6. For months it would start fine in the morning. I would drive to my destination and get back in and it would not start. I would turn the ignition, it made no noise but the dash lit up. I tried a new battery, relay switch, two starters, new cables and new ignition switch. Nothing solved the problem. We took it to the dealer several times but they could never solve the problem because it always started for them. I would drive it home and the next day it would not start. Hours later it would start. Finally I took it to my friend who has an auto electric shop. Should of took it to him first, right? Well he was able to identify the problem. The starter was not getting a ground. He found out that the fuse box was bad and was causing a grounding problem for the starter. He order a new fuse box and installed it. That was six months ago and it starts up every time since! Hope this helps.

No crank no start until it cools down and there are sometimes I crank it and it sounds like it is stuck.

Have you checked for any codes in the computer yet? If not that is the first thing you need to do.

I took the car to get looked at and one person is thinking the fuse box and other people are telling me it cannot be the whole box just a fuse since everything else still works. so I do not know.

If you get a test light we can trace power and find the issue. The thing that does not make sense is if it cools down it starts.

I know because it does not not show it is over heating or anything.. so I do not know what is the problem .

Car will not start. replaced the battery lights start flashing, but still will not start. no clicking and after I turn the key everything turns off.

Without tracing power i really cannot say what the issue is.

try resetting security system if no owners manual look at this guide

For months starter would engage but would start car until you mashed gas pedal to floor. secondly battery voltage is 12 volts at battery and alternator. Ignition key will not start engine now or turn over starter motor. lights interior go haywire CD player on fritz. Key cycled on and off, battery cables held together to clear anything and there are no DTC's. I put on a battery charger for a brief moment and the sound of high voltage power lines were emitted from power window motors. Visually all electrical wiring good. Would a remap flash of computer help or did the computer take a dump?

2006 Pontiac G6 six cylinder two wheel drive automatic 5,000 miles.

son went through puddle about wheel deep, car cut off will not start.

Get a helper disconnect a spark plug wire or two and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it does not apply disregard it.

I have a 2006 Pontiac G6 Gt and when I try to start it, it will not start it is not making a click but everything comes on. Could you tell me what is wrong with my car?

2006 Pontiac G6 four cylinder front wheel drive automatic 45,000 miles..

my car every other week I will get in it and it will not start I looked and find out the starter fuse is blown. what could be causing it to blow? I had a catalytic converter put in by the dealer eight months ago could it be something with that? i would not think my starter would be going bad already, so i am lost. please help

Sounds like a starter. the G6's are known for this.

I tried to start my car last night and it would not start. I am trying to find out where is the starter on my car. Pictures if you have please and thanks.

See picture.

My car stated acting sluggish when it started. A few days later, it would not start at all. I bought a brand new battery and it still will not start. All the lights, dash, and radio work fine.

My car will not start whenever I try to get it to turn over it just clicks. I have had the battery, starter, and alternator checked and all work fine. It sounds like the clicking is coming from the throttle body but we are not sure. Any ideas?

I need you to check to see if there is power to the starter. Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check for power to the smaller wire on the starter. You should have twelve volts when the key is in the start position.

Let me know what you find. Also, you may want to try switching the starter relay with another one from the relay box that has the same part number to see if that helps.

car will not start and it has a lock symbol on dash. what might it be?

Have the computer scanned for codes. also, check the BCM.

My car will not start or turn over and I am getting a power steering error. What could be the possible problem? I was not having any obvious before.

check battery for condition including load test it may be a bad battery. if error continues after battery found to be okay have a mechanic scan for codes. See link for checking battery.

I have had my G6 for about a year and a half. Recenetly the starter began running longer than needed to start the car. Now I'm lucky if it starts at all. The relay hasn't failed, the fuses are still good. I replaced the starter and no effect. Dealers are too expensive to take to and I dont have cash to pay much for repairs. I need my car running soon.

Sounds like hard start ups-verify that the fuel pressure if its within specs-start here

Thanks for the reply. The odd thing about my problem is occasionally it does start like normal. I've continued trying the problem and the starter is pushing the cog to the fly wheel, but not spinning.

Verify if the engine is not locked-up by manually turning the crankshaft pulley 720 degs if it does and the starter is engaging the engine but not turning it over the starter overrunning clutch is slipping that's if battery and connections are all good, if this the case replace the starter
