my truck starter will not even click i have gone through and replaced the starter relay, replaced the ballast resistor, replaced the clutch neutral safety switch, i have power to the starter i have power when i turn ignition switch to start all the way up to the the ballast there is no power going through the fuse, there is one wire that is hot running up to the clutch safety switch, from what i have checked all my wires seem in good shape i have checked all of my grounds in the starting system, i get full power instrument panel and radio and all other systems.

Check to make sure the engine didn't lock up. If the starter is good and trying to turn the engine and can't, something internal in the engine may be what you heard.

My vehicle will turn over but will not start. Also the oil pressure drops in the truck will quit running sometimes. Do you think it has to do with the oil pressure where it does not start or does it have to do with it not getting any fire? Did do a fuel pressure test it read between 30 and 32.

fuel pressure should be 60-66 psi that is more than likely your cause for not starting. should be tested with key on only.

96 chev S10. First thing in the morning when i go to start the pickup, it just turns over but will not catch. I turn the key off, wait a couple of seconds and try again. This time it make an attempt to start, but still will not. I turn the key off and wait a couple of seconds and then on the third try the truck will start. Any ideas on what the problem can be? Thanks in advance for any help.

Check and test the fuel pump relay and fuel pump to include the fuel pump and oil pressure sending unit

chevy s10 pickup - manual

starts great when car is cold. Once it heats up to normal temp she won't start. You press clutch, turn key and it won't turn over and makes no clicking noise. could it be the solenoid?

this could be something as simple as dirty battery cables. But it could also be a bad starter /solenoid/ or battery. Most auto parts stores can check the battery and strter. the battery must be charged though. Of course the starter would have t be removed to be checked. It could also be a bad ground from the battery......
