2014 Chevy Cruze crank, no start. It's not what you think!!

car has crank , no start condition. walk through the process of elimination led to the coil pack.

[@LupeSmasher]

Girlfriends car sat for 2 months because mechanic didn’t know what was wrong with it. Recently he cleared the car and said it was fine and we decided to drive it out to dinner. Left us stranded in downtown Houston I made a quick search on Google and YT and I came across this video. Sure enough that connector was broken and had so much corrosion a quick cleaning and got it running long enough to get home. You saved us a couple hundred bucks man thanks!

[@samuelparker6529]

About two weeks ago my car suddenly died at a stop sign. I was only 2 blocks from home, so I pushed it back. I was able to start it again by the time I got it near my house, but it died after a few minutes. I decided to wait a little bit and start the car again so I could drive it into my parking spot on the 5th floor. The error code said the MAP sensor was confirmed dead, so I replaced it and my car ran good for about a week. Then it died at a stoplight about a block from my house. I started it back up and drove it into the garage. The next few days things were fine, no power issues, nothing. Two days ago, about 2 days after the last random shut down, the car died WHILE driving. My preconceived notions that it only happened at idle were thrown out the window! I was about a block from Oreilly’s, so I waited about 30 seconds and started the car back up and got to their parking lot. They tested the battery, starter, and alternator. The battery tested bad, then good. The started was good, but the alternator failed. The car is 10 years old and 87k miles, so that’s about the life expectancy of an alternator. Unfortunately, only the Oreilly’s across town had it in stock! The car died about 5 minutes down the road and took a “cooling” down period of about 10 minutes before I could get it started again. I finally got across town and installed the new alternator. No luck, won’t start. Just click click click of the starter and nothing. Battery is reading about 11.9v and it’s from AutoZone from less than a year ago… A buddy gives me a ride and I swap the battery out, opting to upgrade to the AGM battery. Get back to the car and it won’t start. Hook up my friends car and it won’t start. Try again a few minutes later after checking all my hoses and connections and it starts right up (I didn’t find anything unplugged or disconnected). I drive the car for about 2 minutes and it dies while driving. I pull codes and it says P1380, which is related to ignition. I check all the fuses and relays, even bought a new ignition switch (which I didn’t install). I try to start the car several times over the next day and a half, nothing. I search KZbin for P1380 for hours, nothing… Tonight, the KZbin algorithm suggests this video. I watch it and he mentions the guy who swapped his entire wire harness (I had just watched that video). So, it’s 9pm, I head down to Oreilly’s and buy a can of the electronics cleaner, head over to my car which is dead on the side of the road a few miles away and I test the voltage on the rightmost pin. 12.21v, no fluctuations, I test the ground, same thing. My hope is dwindling… I spray the connector and the coil pack where it plugs in and wait for it to dry. (Btw, unplug the battery negative, cuz there is small voltage with key off) Plug everything in and BOOM, the car starts up and there is some smoke… I’m pretty sure it was just the cleaner burning off where i had overspray, cuz it cleared up in a few seconds. I ran my car for 27 minutes before I turned it off and started it again with no problem. The 2 mile drive home at 12am was nerve wracking, but I made it all the way with no problem. I don’t have a lot of faith in this fix, especially since my connector appeared fine. I’m gonna order a new coil pack just to be safe, as those connectors were a little less shiny than the plug. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO, AND THANK YOU TO THE KZbin ALGORITHM!

[@agarvaladez2915]

Hello I'm hoping you see my comment. I bought a new starter just last weekend and this past week my car was running fine. Today It does not start It's just clicking like it was before i replaced the new starter. The battery is also new.

[@workingwithLarryMullins]

If you have a volt meter check to see if the battery is below 12.4 volts. If not, try charging the battery or jumping the car off. For some reason these cars are finicky about starting if the battery is low.

[@isaiahwarta1369]

Hey man my Cruze will start, have a little misfire and then rev bomb to 3or 4k and then runs just fine but if I let it sit for a little bit and try and start it again it will crank and run for 3 sec and die, I do that about 3 times and hold the gas to the floor and it runs fine again

[@workingwithLarryMullins]

that sounds like a mass airflow sensor or a tear in the intake tube. first thing to do would check for check engine light. if no light, make sure the breather and intake tube are all sealed up correctly then check all the electric connections around the breather and intake tube. hope this helps!!

[@N.E.AUDITS]

Hey I have the same problem with my car it's a 2011 Chevy Cruze it'll crank like it wants to turn over and start but won't can you go into detail more about what you did and show a little bit more detail on what you did but the coil pack and the cleaning process I would really appreciate it thank you

[@workingwithLarryMullins]

I am going to make a follow up video soon on this particular problem. Although I was able to get the car back on the road, we ultimately had to replace the coil pack plug. You have to be comfortable with electrical wiring. The coil pack plug is available, around 60 bucks. It did solve the no start and stalling issues, it's a very common problem on these cars. I will cover all this very soon in a new video, I hope this helps.

[@N.E.AUDITS]

Thanks again and yeah that wouldn't be a great help when you make that new video I replace the battery then it started turning over like it wants to turn over and start but it doesn't and I'm getting a code saying p00 B7 and I don't know if that could be a problem why it's not starting too but it's turning over and it's acting like it wants to start though

[@workingwithLarryMullins]

That sounds like a coolant sensor code. I don't think that would cause a no start issue. I would suggest carefully removing the coil pack plug and cleaning it with electric contact cleaner, available at the parts store. Make sure to dry it thoroughly with air before reconnecting. If the car starts, that should be an indication the plug is bad.

I would take a hard look at the connection, electrical contact spray is not too expensive, if it helps, at some point you will have to replace the connection for the coil pack.

I was told i needed 2 parts for my 2014 chevy cruze diesel. Part# 55585712 and part# 55577112. I bought the parts already but my question is the total cost to replace these parts is $3,200. Is that a reasonal price?

[@workingwithLarryMullins]

I am not familiar with the diesel version, but, on average diesel service is about 1.5 times higher than gasoline engine due to the knowledge and some specialized tools needed. I recommend getting a quote from a second source, if one is available. Also it is possible to negotiate a better deal with the original quote. I hope this helps!

[@jaylencrawford1853]

[@andrescabrera44]

Mine does not crank and not start it gets 3 codes , intake positioning sensor circuit , exhaust positioning sensor circuit, and crankshaft position sensor I then clear the codes and it take a while but it eventually starts. Codes come back again after a few days already replaced all 3 sensor

[@workingwithLarryMullins]

That is a tough one. It’s hard to guess without seeing the car. I did have a similar case where the timing change was loose where the tensioners were worn. I wouldn’t want you to dig into that without knowing for sure. It could also be a grounding issue causing the sensors to lose connection . Like I said, it’s a rabbit hole without being there. If it is saying “circuit “ I would lean more towards a connection or grounding issue. Hope this helps. Look closely at the battery ground cable, there Was a recall on the battery ground cable.

@@stachiasafford2841 you should post a video of what it's doing. Cranking sound can be helpful with diagnosis. If it's cranking fine it's not your starter. If it sounds funny or unusual while it's cranking, it COULD be your starter. If it sounds like its struggling I'd be willing to bet your fuel pump isn't getting power but it could also be your fuel pressure regulator or your purge valve. Did u know there are over 15 sensors that need to all function properly otherwise your car won't start? It's crazy!

[@levialston518]

My problem is it is not turning over replaced battery still won't turn over

[@workingwithLarryMullins]

Even a new battery may need topping up sometimes. Check the voltage with a meter, it should read 12.4 or above. It seems simple, but I have ran across this. The cables on this car will corrode at the terminal ends, near the starter and at the ground connections. There is a service bulletin for the ground wire and the induction ring around the ground cable. Also try the lights and see how bright they are, it could show a bad ground cable. Try also the remote start if equipped or try putting the shifter in neutral and starting it. If all this fails, it could simply be a bad starter.

[@cesarcontreras849]

So what did you clean the plug how come you didn't show in the video what it is that you clean cuz you clean the water coil pack or coil pack cold pack I can't understand what you said what the f*** did he clean

Please help my chevy cruze limited eco wont start after replacing battery it wont crank just wont start horn don't work or interior lights dash light an radio works

[@workingwithLarryMullins]

Just start with the basics. Check the ground cable again, it's the weakest link in the system. It helps to have a volt meter. Check the voltage at the battery, if you get more than 12.5 volts at the battery, move on to the fuses.the starter won't even click if the battery is below 12 volts. There is a technical service bulletin on the ground cable on these cars that they will replace for free if it hasn't been already, just call the dealership service department with your model and vin number and they can check for you. I hope this helps, good luck!!

I was just hoping to point out a common problem with the coil connection plug. This test was just to see if it was the connection. Ultimately in the end the wiring harness plug should be replaced. A bad connection like that usually ruins the coil pack and folks just keep replacing them when it could be just the connection.the cleaning process is just spraying the connection with electric contact cleaner, then drying it with compressed air. Hope this helps.

[@charlesbernard3042]

@@workingwithLarryMullins okay, of course it makes sense. I did this procedure and no avail. 2000 miles ago, installed new plugs and coil combo. Worked fine. Then, under load, misfire code in cyl 3 and always that one. So I undid wire clip, took out coil and spark plug 3. It looked worn down on pinned tip. The other plugs were normal. Installed another plug to replace cyl3, put her all together and crank but no fire. This makes no logical sense! Looked at the clip connector. What if it all miss-prongs when compressed on. Then no signal flows. After comparing both parts, impossible for it to miss-align when plugged together. After cleaning, no luck starting. So . . . how can this clip then EVER be the problem unless probability is being an asshole on me! Thanks

[@23PETE]

@@charlesbernard3042 so did u ever fix the issue ?

[@charlesbernard3042]

@@23PETE Yes. Two problems. BCM had a fried circuit. Part of the starting X3 pin circuit. A friend who was a guru on computers for cars took the BCM apart and replaced the starting circuit within. Never assume your ECM or BCM is the problem before consulting a wiring diagram of the vehicle. One must check every inputing power circuit wire, + or -- plus the OBM scanner com wires for voltage and conductivity. These can be culprit first. If fine, then assume it's your computers. In my case it was, because for some very strange reason, one of the connecting X2 pin from the underhood fuse box had a stripped locking bolt. This caused inconsistent/intermittent signalling back to the BCM. These states drive computer circuitry crazy. It fried the starting circuit in the BCM. The second issue was a ground problem of too much resistance at the coil pak 7-pin connector. The ground tested strong green light, but had toi much resistance. Where it connects to engine grounding ( right below ) would not be easily apparent becaus this ground wire disappears amongst a pack of wires and housings. Electrical schematics showed where it connects to ground, and sure enough the nut tightening was not very tight and had corrosion issues. After all this remedied, the car started right up. This was an uneasy discovery find. I can only surmise that the mechanic who did my engine swap messed with the underhood fuse box, over-tightened to strip a mounting bolt which eventually loosened and miss-connected intermittently which fried tge circuit. Can't prove it either way. Just glad she's been starting and running fine to date.
