I have a 1994 pontiac Bonneville with a 3800 engine, 6 cyl...Recently it has started to give me problems with cranking It just turns and turns but does not crank up..the first time it did it I was thinking it was low in gas..but it is full now and it does it just on ocassions...

it mostly cranks good but every now and then i go out and it won't start out of the blue...mostly it happens when i have just gotten out of it then 30 minutes or so later it won't crank..but it does not do this all the time..today it happened but before this it has driven good for about a week with no problems...so I am guessing the problems only happen after it has been warmed....

but i have cranked it after it has been warmed so it happens on occasion after being just driven within the previous hour or so....I would appreciate any help with this...thanks

well since you say it cranks but doesnt turn over......sounds like my prob i had just a bit ago.....try getting your crank sensor tested or changed. I believe it to be the starter sends the sensor the charge to turn the engine over but it probably isnt recieveing the charge everytime(correct me if im wrong bonne nuts )

I was told that a crank sesor should through a code...but on my 92 it didnt. so it might not through a code untill its totally pooched.


hope i helped some.

thanks

i will probably change the crank sensor...just to clarify..it turns over and over but it does not actually start-up when i have this problem.
