how's its going. I got a bit of issue here and hope you guys can help me out.and yes i tryed searching but I want to hear it from guys that been through this before. ok, so every once in a while I'll only hear the engine click once when i'm trying to crank it. After a couple times it'll crank, I kind of figured it was the starter.. But now it seems to be struggling to crank also, it'll turn over but it turns over slow........ and then starts. Is this just the starter or could i be facing a larger problem?

sounds more like the battery or alternator.

if its the starter it should either click or start.

 

What about the clicking I get I first try to start it? So I'm facing battery and starter.

When the start starts to go it generally takes anywhere from 5-10 tries of clicking to get it started. The reason I suggested that it was the battery or alternator was because you said it struggled to crank, sometimes the battery will not have enough power to give to the starter either hence the clicking...I'd check the voltage of the battery.

 

get someone to jump your car. If it starts right away, then its probably the battery.

 

yeah I'll agree with them on this one, definitly sounds like the battery. Make sure its charged and also that the leads are on properly (may sound stupid but I dont know how many times i've seen someones car not starting because of the connection to the battery)

 

car still doing it after recharging the battery, so i'm narrowing down to the starter just acting up. grrrrrrrrrrrr

 

I KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS... your main relay by your hood pop I had same problem
