How does the starter work on a Pontiac G6?
Once the start timer is activated, the PCM/ECM will continue to crank the starter until either the engine starts or a no start time limit is reached. Occasionally, the fuel pump module will take one or two seconds to build fuel pressure. Often this will occur after the vehicle sits overnight.
Why does my G6 not start when I turn the key?
This just means that the engine doesn’t move when you turn the key. The second way that your G6 won’t start is when the engine turns when you engage the starter, but it won’t fire and run on its own. When the engine isn’t turning over at all, that’s a bit easier to diagnose than when it is cranking but not firing.
What should I do if my Pontiac G6 is not turning over?
Most likely not, if your engine is not running, but still cranking then it should be alright. If you are trying to start it for a long time (30+ seconds) and it is still not turning over, then you might want to get it checked out.
Why does my Pontiac G6 crank so long?
Most cars have a direct link between the ignition switch and the starter. Therefore if you hold the key it will crank as long as you hold the key. The G6 has a PCU controlled system. My car sometimes cranks longer than it should, and I agree it is annoying. Sometimes my remote start takes forever to get going.
