2004 ion won't start. Lights work. When I turn key don't get series of clicks, get one snap.

 2004 Saturn ion won't start That symptom usually means the solenoid on the starter is bad and no longer is completing the circuit to engage the starter. A new starter will likely solve that issue. A series of rapid clicks would indicate a week battery. You can try repeatedly turning the key to the start position rapidly, sometimes the starter will start working. You can also try tapping the starter while somebody holds the key in the start position, if the starter engages place it.

Aprilla Sportscity 125 Scooter makes a click sound

Aprilla Sportscity 125 Scooter  makes a click sound when engaging either brake. Did not do this last season. Thoughts other than get a real bike? It only clicks once each time you engage. its likely that the brake pads aren't quite a close fit in the caliper, so you're getting a bit of a 'click' as you take up the slack when applying pressure so 1st check if the pads have more than 1mm of play and if they do then a fix is to remove each pad and apply some silicone sealent to the back of each pad taking care to to keep it off the piston , pull hard on the brake lever and then leave the sealent to go off overnight this should then stop the pads from rattling about. knocking sound at low revs and on idle It would help if you had the airfilter on to get rid of some of the noise. The knocking sounds like worn rollers rattling in the variator as it seems to disappear once the revs raise a little and the rollers put pressure on the variator plate. I assume when ri...

Engine Hard To Start

Hot and Cold :  When your Engine is Hard to Start Car Starting Issues In order to surpass this problem and to prevent it as much as possible, learn how to solve it by knowing why it happens. When a hot engine is hard to start, most of the causes are fuel related problems. Fuel cannot circulate well due to the way in which vapor blocks it. As a result, the engine would not start as easily as it should. In worse cases, it would not start at all. This happens if the engine is extremely hot. Until after a while the engine was shut off, it would keep on acquiring temperature. The biggest amount of water vapor would be spreading around during this process. It therefore means that during this period, there are higher chances of its obstruction to the engine. So when you are driving in hot weather and you have just turned off the car and you experience difficulty in stating the engine, do not panic. Just wait for a couple of minutes and then start it back. Because the fuel remains ...

Engine Cranks But Won't Start

Engine Cranks But Won't Start Car Will Not Start What’s causing the no-start? All engines require three things to start and run: spark, fuel, and compression. If any one of these isn’t there, you aren’t going anywhere. Symptom: Engine Cranks but won’t Start Probable Causes: Fuel Pump (P0230 to P0233) PCM (P0600 to P0606) Crank Sensor (P0355 to P0399) Fuel Pressure (P0190 to P0194) Chances are the Check Engine Light is not on, but you may find any of the following codes: P0230 to P0233 Fuel Pump codes P0600 to P0606 PCM related codes P0335 to P0339 Crank Sensor codes P0190 to P0194 Fuel Pressure Sensor codes No spark due to a bad crank position sensor, a faulty ignition module or PCM, a problem in the ignition circuit (ignition switch, antitheft system, wiring, etc.), a faulty park/neutral safety switch, a bad ignition coil (only on engines with a single coil ignition), or wet plugs or plug wires (did it rain last night, did you just wash the engine?)...

Engine No Start

Engine won't start. Dash lights flash rapidly when key turned. Drove home from work like normal. Parked in garage. About an hour later went to start car. Wouldn't turn over, dash lights went dark. Turned ignition off and on, dash lights then flashed rapidly. Engine will not even turn over. Tried disconnecting battery from car several times. Checked battery voltage (just hair under 12 volts, which is more than enough to start). Something is preventing the car from starting...and voltage seems to die off for car electronics with use (cannot turn headlights on, even with key). Strangely enough, battery has voltage. The battery says 12 volts but may be dropping to 4 or 5 under a load...i would suggest jumpstarting the car and see what happens.the battery should read in the high 12 volts and not less than 9.5 under cranking. the dash lights go out on your car when starting,and the alarm will go off ,and disable the ignition if the voltage is too low in cranking the car beca...

Engine Hesitates

Hesitation Engine Hesitates To Start Engine Hesitates While Driving Helpful Information Hesitation Definition  - An engine hesitation is an interruption of continuous power during acceleration. When a engine is hesitating it will cause the car to lunge or surge which will cause a sudden jerk as the car slows down. This condition can cause dangerous situations in heavy traffic when drivers behind expect continuous forward movement. History Older engine's are equipped with a distributor ignition system. This systems can cause hesitation when maladjusted, by using a  timing light  this situation can be checked and corrected. If the timing is adjusted too far retarded (behind the timing mark) in relationship to the engine crankshaft it will cause hesitation. If the engine timing is way off (20 degrees or more) check the timing belt or timing chain, the crankshaft/camshaft correlation . Step by step guide on how to repair an engine hesitation when the throttle ...

Engine Starter Will Not Crank Over

Image
Starter Not Cranking Car Starter Issues Helpful Information There are some easy fixes that are attributed to this problem, one is that the gear selector has not been pushed fully into park (automatic transmission) or the clutch is not fully depressed (standard transmission.) Also, some vehicles need to have the brake pedal depressed before the starter will operate. A starter is designed with a bendix which engages into the flywheel to crank the engine over. If this bendix fails it will allow the starter motor to turn, but not engage. When this condition occurs the starter will "freewheel", allowing the starter motor to turn without engaging into the flywheel. An engine flywheel/flex plate is used to work with the starter and is connected to the engine crankshaft. If this part fails, the starter will operate, but the engine will not crank over. Disassembly is required to inspect for the condition. Usually this problem is accompanied by a strange noise while the star...
