Starting problems - after replacing the starter motor  
  
  
  
 Hello,  
  
 I recently replaced the starter motor in my car after the ignition would just “click” when I tried to start it. All went seemingly well. After installation, the motor turned over beautifully. However, it now won’t start at all. I feels/sounds like it’s not getting any gas at all.  
  
  
  
 This is especially weird b/c this car has never had a problem starting. Before the starter motor went on me, it was starting and running great everyday.  
  
  
  
 The car has plenty of gas in it - all the lights are on in the dash and all else seems normal. I did check the fuses and they seem okay.  
  
  
  
 Someone told me it may be a burned up in-line fuse somewhere? Is it possible I burned up some ignition-related electrical component or something?  
  
  
  
 Need help!  
  
  
  
 Thank you!
