my car wnt start n da engine light came on, but battery is good. Do u think it just needs a new starter kit.?

Answer 1

Several times a day, someone asks a very similar question to your's.

It's very helpfull to include a little more information in your question to help us, help you, in your times of trouble.

Some of the simple things to include in your question is:

1) Year of car.
2) Make of the car.
3) Model of your car.
Those three things can help us narrow down known issues with particular vehicles that have certain problems that occur on a regular basis. (ie. recalls and such)

Next, If you could give a more detailed explanation of what is happening when you turn the key to start your car.
1) Nothing happens?
2) You hear a "click", but nothing else?
3) You hear the starter turning, but the engine doesn't turn?
4) The starter turns the engine, but the engine won't start up?
5) The engine turns over, but very slowly.
6) the engine turns, but there's an awful banging noise?

Lastly:
What happened last time you drove it?

1) Drove home fine last night, just won't start today?
2) Was driving fine, and it just died on you?
3) You haven't driven it in a while. It's been parked in storage?

I like to say: "The better the question, the better the answer"

Answer 2

If the check engine light came on "before" it stopped running, then you'll need to have the engine codes read with a scanner. However, if you mean it comes on when you turn the key to the "on" position, that is normal, it's a self test to let you know if the bulb is burnt out.

Starting" Does it turn over at all? If not, it could be corroded connections on the battery, starter or ground on the engine. If it is just clicking, connections may be the problem.

No click, connections or broken wire in the solenoid.

Turns over but doesn't try to "catch", it could be anything in the fuel system, or ignition...

Answer 3

There are many things that you need to look at to answer your question, but first things first. Does the car try to start, meaning, that you hear clicking noises? You may need to have your solenoid checked if you don't hear anything. If you do, then try replacing the starter motor. Best way to figure it out is to consult a mechanic though.

If the check engine light is on, and won't start is a different issue that the engine won't crank.
If the engine cranks, but won't start, check with retrieving the Diagnostic codes from the engine's computer (PCM).
