03 chevy s10 wont start.

It had a rattling noise while i was driving then it just died. i checked all the fluids and fuses and they all seem fine. when i tried to start it again it was making a clicking noise and was causing the lights to flash and the radio time reset so i charged the battery and it finally started again but it acted like it was gonna quit on me again so i turned it off so it wouldnt cause any more damage. i havent drove it since it died the first time. what could be causing this.

Sounds like your alternator may be failing to charge the battery, you can take it off and have it tested, most parts stores will bench test it for free. if thats fine then you may just need to get a new battery

SOURCE: My daughtrs 2001 Chevy s10 has an itermitant starting problem.

quick way to tell... next time it won't crank and just clicks... hit it gently with a hammer as you have someone attempt to start it... if all of a sudden it cranks.... it's the starter... replace it before it quites completely.

the reason your truck is shutting off is because one of your o2 censors is bad. had the same problem even got a diagnostic done ans showed no error.finally went to advance auto and asked someone who had the same problem. hope is works out

Sounds like an antitheft problem I would start with the antitheft system. Usually when you only have one key all keys have to be programmed together even the original. When you have more than one it is easy to program additional keys.

Turn on you headlights and have someone crank it. If batt is bad, the kights will dim. If you have a poor connection the lights will go out. Also, remove and clean the negative cable connection on the batt. Remove, clean and reinsta'' g lluck

Check you battery cables to make sure they are not corroded, and on tight. Check ground wires for the same, inside the engine compartment, and inside the passenger compartment.

I have a 03 chevy s10 it wont start it sounds like it wants to. i changed the fuel pump and filter but it still wont start do you have any sugestions

Hello,

Try to check the battery, jump starting it will do just fine.

Also ensure that your battery charges when using the car, also look at the terminal heads over the battery too, to see that it is not saggy.

Take care

2000 chevy s10 starts fine but dies out when push

Have you changed the fuel filter lately? If not do so. Sounds like fuel restriction. Filter usually on frame rail passenger side. Good luck!

2000 S10 no start

I'd use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, key on engine off, 60--66 psi with spider fuel system.
Engine cranking did you visually check for spark at the spark plugs? Engine cranking is there a fuel injector pulse?https://s8.postimg.org/50arofh11/fuel_pump.jpg
Click on the link for fuel pump relay, you can check the fuse. At the fuel pump, gray wire is voltage, black is ground.

My 2000 chevy s10 pickup doesn't want to shift

Check your master and slave, If your slave is not fully depressing the pressure plate it would be very hard to shift.

Low fluid would not cause this. However there is a bolt on the side of the trans that you remove and put your finger in to check the level. If you put your pinky in and no fluid comes out it is low.

The slave often goes on the chevy's. It is internal, you have to pull the trans to replace it.

Also a pressure plate that is collapsing can cause the same problem. You are pushing all the way down, but it is not releasing.
Hope this helps.
