Why does my car start sometimes and not other times?
If your car starts intermittently, a broken fuse or broken wiring can be the culprit, since damaged wires to the battery or the starter solenoid prevent the power from reaching the starter. If the starter goes bad, it can cause a lack of power to the car and cause the car to start intermittently.

Why is my Vortec 6000 engine not working?
When water enters the sensor it corrodes the wires and causes the whole sensor to fail. Rough idling, poor driveability, performance, acceleration, etc. The 6.0 engines have variable valve timing, which means the computer electronically adjusts timing when it believes it is off.
What causes a tool motor to not start?
A lot of the tool motors have a thermal shut off switch built in them. When the thermal switch gets above a certain temperature it opens the stator windings, until it gets below another certain temp and resets. Only the run windings open, not the start windings.
What should I do if my motor won’t start?
Centrifugal switch seems ok. capacitor looks good. Took motor to a shop and they tested it as very good. Brought back home and used it for a month then same problem. Any ideas out there? If you give it a good spin and apply the power does it run? If so, points to the start circuit somewhere? Max.
Why does my 1hp reversible motor not start?
1HP single phase reversible motor on lathe. After many cycles “forward and reverse”… motor will not start…only humms. Centrifugal switch seems ok. capacitor looks good. Took motor to a shop and they tested it as very good. Brought back home and used it for a month then same problem. Any ideas out there?
Is there a problem with the Vortec 6000 engine?
Oil Pressure, AFM, and Oil Consumption I was hoping to avoid discussing this problem, but unfortunately it affects all Vortec engines, including the 6.0L. Chevy’s Active Fuel Management (“AFM”) is a fuel efficiency feature that shuts off 50 the engines cylinders under various driving conditions to improve gas mileage.
Is it possible for an engine not to turn over?
Although the engine not turning over is obvious—since the crankshaft is not rotating—the symptoms may manifest in different ways, depending on the source of the problem.

Why does my Vortec 6000 make a knocking noise?
If you get a check engine light and codes for engine knock on your 6.0L vortec, it could be actual engine knock. However, if you do not hear any knocking noises but do have a CEL, you likely have a bad knock sensor. On the 6.0 engine, the knock sensor has a pretty crappy sealant on it which can cause water to enter the sensor.
