Starter won't start my Pontiac

Post by ramiroelliot »

2004 Pontiac, only 120.700 miles. When I crank the key it light up and all, but won't start. Wondering if i can fix this at an reasonable price. Thanks!

Welcome to the site.
Try it in neutral. May be the nuetral safety switch.
Try tapping the starter with a hammer. It may be on a dead spot on the armature,
Are your headlights bright?
Do they dim way down when you try to start it?
