So i go out this morning to hope in the vette, and to my suprise it wont start. First time I have owned the car that it wont start or that it was obvious what the issue was. (Had a dead battery that had to be replaced).
Anyways whats up is the car has power, I can hear it Ding and all my gauges come on and seems ok. However it didnt sound like it was cranking at all. Almost like the starter was even engaging. I could be wrong I was half asleep trying to get it started this morning so I could get out the door on time.
So I am thinking it might be 1 of 2 things.. Either the starter, or the VATS acting up. I am going to try again when I get home tonight, any ideas heading in though.
Thanks

Thanks We need to know if the starter is running or not...otherwise, it's a bunch of guessing. The part where you said "Almost like the starter was even engaging" makes me wonder if you broke the stater nose...

LIKE THE MAYBE THE VATS, THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH, A FUSIBLE LINK, OR THE CLUTCH PEDAL SWITCH. RACE ON!!! JIM
