noob starter question

sr wont turn over, gunna try tapping the starter. never done this before on any car ive owned.

i know what the started looks like but cant seem to locate it.

little help?

your staring in you engine bay it should be under the left side of the engine. Look at you main fuse box and go down and back a bit. you will have to take it out from the bottom most likly.

thanks anyways, found her.

still no engine start tho, couldnt really get a good swing at the starter with the wrench.

will try again later.

motor wont turn over. makes a clicking noise that sounds like when the starters dead.

the car’s been sitting for a while since its been getting worked on.

check to make sure the little solenoid switch is attached too… its a smaller wire that does hav ea tendancy to fall off.

i had that issue with mine once in a while.

GT

thanks greg

will check it out

battery may be dead… that would also cause ‘clicking’

Bring the car to a garage, they can do a battery/alternator test, CT charges 21.95$ but sometimes we do them for free if were in a good mood.

i had the same problem a week ago, check all the fuses and disconnect the battery, charge it directly to the terminals. mine fired right up

If the car is 5 speed, try jump starting it. If it starts, then it is the starter/battery.
