Re: Intermittent dying then no crank for random lengths of t
Okay so I believe the battery cable to the front junction is bad because if I use the charger it starts fine. And I also jumped from the battery to the junction box with jumpers and it started. I just find it weird that it could be. How long is the cable?

Re: Intermittent dying then no crank for random lengths of t
Update: I have come to the conclusion this is an electrical issue. The battery ground was rusty. Little corrosion where the connector is crimped to the wire but not bad. Cleaned it up and it started right up. Put it all back together then it wouldn't start. Put the battery charger back on and it ...

Re: Intermittent dying then no crank for random lengths of t
Thanks. I am pretty good at fixing cars and electrical systems but this is the first GM I've owned. I know Fords in and out but this is new to me. I had a Chrysler New Yorker that had a bad crank sensor that wouldn't allow the car to roll over and it was intermittent also but from what I understand ...

Re: Intermittent dying then no crank for random lengths of t
I jumped the solenoid with the key on and it did not start. So something else has to be preventing it from starting right? When the key is turned to start it the accy relay clicks off but the starter relay does not. Tried switching them also with no change. I am changing the crank sensor tomorrow ...

Re: Intermittent dying then no crank for random lengths of t
Can the crankshaft sensor cause it to not roll over?

Re: Intermittent dying then no crank for random lengths of t
Okay the dying of the car is separate I think. Just the MAF sensor. I am thinking the starter now. The relay under the hood clicks. I guess I didn't fully understand the starter system on this car. So from the relay it goes to the solenoid right? I am going to replace the starter I think. Cannot see ...

Re: Intermittent dying then no crank for random lengths of t
Started aftersitting yesterday. Drove it fine. Go out this morning and go to start it and I didn't roll it over wuite enough to start and then it wouldn't roll over. Is it possible to be the key switch? Could it cause the car to just turn off without turning the other electrical off?

Re: Intermittent dying then no crank for random lengths of t
I am waiting for it to act up again to see if it does come on. I am thinking it is security thing because that is the only thing thay can interrupt the starter right?

Re: Intermittent dying then no crank for random lengths of t
When it dies it is followed with a no crank issue meaning the engine does that roll over. There is no click of the solenioddash or anything. All the dash lights some on though like normal. MAF and CPS failure should still have the car roll over right? Codes are P0102 and P0449. I knoe the MAF sensor ...
