1999 Chevy Cavalier
2.2 Vortec
work done to repair = replaced STARTER AND SOLENOID
REPLACED STARTER RELAY
tech = JK
question = CAR WON'T START WHEN i TURN THE KEY.
if I JUMP IT WITH A JUMPER WIRE AT THE STARTER RELAY IT WILL CRANK.
i TESTED TO SEE IF THE SWITCH WAS HOT AT THE STARTER AND WHEN I
TURN
THE KEY IT GETS HOT.
ALSO DO YOU HAVE A WIRING DIGRAM FOR THE STARTER AND SOLENOID
ANY
HELP WOULD BE GREAT
JK:
Not sure which wire at the starter you are referring to. If the purple wire at the
starter is hot when the key is turned to start, then the starter should turn. The
large wire is always hot.
If jumping the starter relay does engage the starter, then you have a problem
before the relay. Possibly a theft security problem. If the theft/security light is on
after you release the key after a try to crank, but does not start - then you have a
security problem. Be sure to check ALL fuses as well.

GM Tech JK:
You can try to do a theft re-learn procedure. But, that may not work because there is a problem in
the theft system.
May need the sensor for the theft system. Some diagnosis with a schematic and a volt / ohm meter
would be needed, as to not just guess at parts.
