Check out this link. It is for a very specific pulley removal tool for our supercharger pulleys.

I removed the starter and had it tested at the local Oreillys and found out it was dead. I installed the new starter and she fires right up.

Thanks to all for your help.

check out a free browser called "Bolt". It shows the actual web page on your blackberry, not the mobile pages.

Jdq,

You will need to remove the alternator and the support bracket for the alternator and the drive belt. Use a 15mm socket to relieve the tension on the belt. There is a 15mm nut and a 13mm bolt holding the alternator support bracket.
There are two 15mm bolts and the one threaded stud holding the ...

Finally went and got the car today. I guess it needed a rest because it started right up. Drove straight home. When I got home I shut it off and the key won't come out of the ignition.

I think my problems could be the ignition switch. Is that something I can do myself? Do I need a switch with ...

On both my Jimmy and an old diesel benz I had to tap on the starter to get it to start.
Very occasional they would not start. Other times they started fine.

I tried to tap on the starter and she still won't start.

Thanks.

You need to know if the small wire on the starter solenoid is getting twelve volts when the key is turned to start. Connect a 12 volt test light or voltmeter between the small wire & ground. Another way is to simply listen for the starter to click. If it's clicking or has 12 volts then the starter ...

There was a technical service bulletin regarding the ignition switch where plastic particles would interfere with the contacts in the switch. It was replaced with an updated switch. It is just listed for the 2000 - 2001 model years, however.

This happened to me twice in the first 1 1/2 years I ...

Thanks to you and JWikoff for your help. I may have to tow it to either the dealer or a nearby mechanic if i can't get it running soon.

Sounds like it could be an issue with your Theft Deterrent System. Black Pearl had an issue with his while attending a meet. With the help of a Tech2, we were able to diagnose it as a bad exciter which is part of the ignition switch.

Do you have any other keys you can try?

The only other key i ...

No, it does not. It doesn't do anything.

No, i haven't seen that message yet.

I just tried again, still not starting.

On an OBD I car, that could mean the crank sensor is dead, and it'll only start if your engine happens to be in the right spot of rotation. Don't know if that means the same thing for 96+.

Does it turn over, but just won't fire? Or does it do nothing at all?

Everything lights up on the dash, the ...

I have a 2002 SSEi, and it recently has been not starting when i turn the key at times. This has started the past few days. Sometimes it starts right up, other times it takes several minutes of turning the key to off and start before it fires up. :???: Once it fires up, it runs great.

I have a new ...

I just replaced the outer tie rod on my wife's Town and Country. I've never done one before and it took me only 15 minutes to remove and replace it.
Very easy fix for only $38.00 compared to the tire shop that charges $180.00 to replace it.

I personally purchased the AZ Timken wheel hub about a month ago. I bought it since it was a Timken (made in USA) and was cheaper than what Napa and Advanced had to offer.
I haven't had any problems yet.

If your handy with tools and have a service manual, it isn't really that tough to do yourself. I did mine earlier this year. Plan on around 4+ hours if you've never taken the top section off of your motor. Make sure that you take pictures of the vacuum lines and wiring for reference when ...

Pete,

It looks just like yours, but with lighter (legal)tint and cleared corners.

Chad.
