You may have to replace the starter - the solenoid on the starter may now be ceased. You should also verify there is the correct voltage at the wiring connection to it.

SOURCE: My car cut off and won't start again

My husband and I just purchased a 2001 Grand Am for our daughter. We brought it home and the heater was not working. My husband fixed it and the car would not start at all. We did a lot of research online because he is a must do it yourselfer and turns out that under your dash on the passengers side is a box for the security this system is connected to every function of your car. He rigged the connection that went to this box and wala! Anyway all research that we did said that if corrosion builds up or you loose that connection then your car will die even if you are driving 70 mph on the interstate. So in a nutshell does your security light come on when you turn the key. It could be as simple as resetting the system which all you do is turn the key to the on position the security light should flash leave it on for 10 nto 15 min. the light will go off, then turn the key off and then try to start the car that resets your system. Hope it works it was sure a headache for us.

Crank position sensor bad?
Are you sure the fuel pump is working? Might be the sending unit in the fuel pump that is bad. Clogged lines, clogged fuel injectors, clogged fuel filter, all things that could be checked.

SOURCE: Airbag light in 97 cavalier is on

When the airbag light is on it means a fault has occurred in the system and the airbag diagnostic monitor has disabled the system, the most common problem that turns the light on is a break in the connection to the steering wheel mounted airbag, this is due to a rotating ribbon contact that breaks under the steering wheel that connects the airbag to the wiring harness and the diagnostic monitor, the part is called th clock spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact that turns with the wheel

Clunk under car on acceleration, but goes away after first initial clunk.

I would check the spark plugs and wires or coil packs. Sounds like the ignition system is arcing.

I have a 2002 Mercury Sable w/DOHC that was drove through flooded intersection last week & stalled. The water was about 2-3 feet deep. I've replaced oil, filters, spark plugs & dried out...

when car won`t turn but clicks then the ( brushes of you starter are worn may be the man who replace used the old brushes ) its very simple thing but will get your car to start
but you didn`t mention anything about fuses and relays if you haven`t replace them all then replace relays/fuse first
you welcome any time sir .
