thunderbird Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I have a 1993 Loyale. lately the car sometimes starts but will not turn over but if I leave it for about 24 hours after that then the engine turns over. Once I get it going their seems to be no problem. Anybody know what the problem is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soobmater Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 it sounds like it could be a battery. then it recharges and starts. you could check your battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbird Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Battery is fine. Everything comes on (lights, radio, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieman Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Check the battery terminals for corrosion and cables. I had a bad cable once and it caused my Loyale to only start on occasion. It would just click when I turned the key. Replaced the cable and I was back in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soobmater Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 do you have to get it some where? if you do and it is a manual, just get it rolling and pop the clutch. it should take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieman Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Oh so it does turn over? Could be lots of things then. Start with your basics like basic tune up stuff. Could be a fuel issue. Do you have a check engine light? You might wanna check the codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
