ok well for the past few days the car has been strugglingto start… i figure my battery wasjust dying… but i have two so i switched it out andit stilldidn’t work so just to be shure i checked em out at ct and charged them still no start… so i bought a spiral cell otima since i was going to anyways…still no start … it desn’t even crank… the first two times i tried to crank it when it first failed to start it would crank but it sounded busted … ever since then i jsut get the “click” sound no matter what battery is in the damn thing … now i don’t really even get that? does this mean i’m boned and my starter is gone or what’s the deal? ---

starter is gone to test, take a long pole and smack the starter while someone turns the key. should make the starter spin for now. get a new starter or a rebuilt one. ---

At the end the car would not start. Did a Jump start on it. parked it for the night, went to start it again and it was like new no problems since.
