In this video, I show you how to diagnose a Chevy Cruze that is stalling or has a crank no-start condition. Many times this problem can be caused by a bad crank sensor, fuel pump, or in this case, it was a poor connection at the ignition coil. So I’ll show you how to test that too.
If your Chevy Cruze is having trouble starting, you’re not alone. In fact, this is a pretty common problem for Cruze owners. There are a few different things that can cause your Cruze to stall, and in this video, we’ll go over some of the most common causes and what you can do to fix them.
What we ended up finding wrong with this Chevy Cruze! It was not the crank sensor. It ended up being a bad connection at the ignition coil. I wiggled the connection and the car stalled a number of times. I removed the connection, cleaned it with contact cleaner, and made sure all terminals were tight, and that fixed this car.
I would never have thought crank sensor. I had one go out on my vehicle twice and it sputtered and sputted multiple times before it died. Never did it just shut down like someone turned off the key. I’m glad you found it. I never would have even looked at the ignition coil. Curios, how did you find the issue?
Well, when all else fails I turn to the wiggle and tap test. Wiggling harnesses and tapping on modules.
Inserting those three or four graphic images showing displeasure, happiness, etc. don’t help. I’m trying to follow your logic and procedures, then a colorful image flashes on the screen and interrupts your message.
Yep Iv got a 2014 Chevy Cruze
111,708 miles and yep a P.O.S
My advice is take to your technician make sure they drive the car while checking for the problem if you leave the car standing and turned on it won’t show the problem. I had to drive the car with mechanic checking his scanner to find the problem. My problem was in the harness if you car overheats and had this issue as well lits likely the coolant corroded part of the electrical hardness or so the mechanic says but car works now.
