Wont crank won't start

Asked by Dylan Aug 20, 2020 at 10:20 AM about the 2008 Chevrolet Impala SS FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

trouble shooting a 2008 SS Impala, every once in a while
my car will not crank or start. It started by periodically
stalling while I was driving. Put in a new ignition switch and
didnt fix it. Long story short here are the items I replaced
and still having problems. Ignition relay, ignition switch,
battery cables, battery. The starter has no problems
because everytime i remove the battery cables put them
back on the car starts up and has no problems for a while
until it stalls once again. So if I was you keep tools in your
car and if it happens remove battery cables and put them
back on, car will fire back up. I notice a lot of folks have the
same issue, wondering if it has been resolved.
