del sol wont start
PLEASE DONT REPLY TO THIS THREAD
i have a stock del sol S coupe. went out there today to clean her up a bit and make sure everything was working fine, shes been sitting for awhile but i started it up and it struggled then made a clicking noise repeatedly. like click click click....etc. anybody know what this could be from? the car is getting a new head gasket tomorrow for certain reasons.

Sounds like a week battery, you said it was sitting for a while so I ask did you leave something on? Trunk light maybe or something or it could just be old.
Either case, classic symptoms of a dead or drained battery.

did you happen to clean the engine bay? my guess is you got water in the sparkplug holes/got your dizzy wet. i did this before, its a common mistake. take out your sparkplug wires and see if there is any wetness
