Was running my 65 corvair 110 engine for about 20 minutes when I came to a red light and as I slowed to stop the car shuts down, went to start it up but it won’t even turn over,,why?
- Your battery is dead and needs replacing. – Replace battery
- Your battery is simply dead because your generator/alternator has gone bad and is not charging the battery. – Replace generator/alternator and charge battery.
- Your starter solenoid has gone bad and will not activate the starter. – Replace starter solenoid.
- Your battery cables are loose or have corrosion build up and are not allowing the battery to charge or provide power to the other components. – Clean and tighten battery cables.
- Your battery has a very low level of acid/water mix inside and is not charging or providing power. – Add distilled water to top up fluid inside the battery.
- Your vehicle (if it has an automatic transmission) is not in “Park” or “Neutral”…or…if it is a stick shift, the clutch must be depressed to start. (Not sure they had this safety feature in 1965). – Place vehicle in “P” or “N” or depress the clutch and attempt to start. and last and by far the worst,
- You have encountered an invisible cloud of Killacar radiation. – You must push your car clear of this cloud before it will start. ;-) jk
