its the starter. thats most logical. take it out and get it tested- way easy- if not that check the wires. sometimes theres a bad connection. that's what happened to one of my car. i bought brand new starter and it ended up to be a corroded hot wire. wasted 84 bucks! can't return it

check and make sure all the wires are where they are supposed to be and make sure they are plugged in...went out 2 weeks ago wit my boy and his type R started banging the gears real hard and went to go eat...finished/tried to start the car and wouldnt turn over...were stumped for about 15 minutes then realized a plug came loose on the starter...that was it...

Starters can go bad and maybe that's it but how do you know the battery is dead? A battery with a dead cell will read 13 volts but will short under a mild load. Lights and everything come on and stay on when you try and crank?

try getting jumper cables and give it a try. if it starts then maybe the battery is to blame but more likely its the starter or connections. easy fix

Re: trying to fix my girls car and its driving me nutz (Spoon)
I dont think it's the starter.. if it were the starter i think there would be a click.. then again i could be wrong.. so i would probably say check the condition of the positive terminal, or if there is any battery acid, it may have eating the wire up, and youre not getting enough amperage to start the car.. just my guess..

we told you the starter check all connections to starter especialy power wire. if the connections are good then maybe the starter isn't disengaging. thats why it starts and when it idles it will die. this will also cause it to run really shitty for a few seconds and then die. go get it tested or get a new one.

Re: trying to fix my girls car and its driving me nutz (SlOwCrXbUtUbNbEaT)
you cant tell if the starter is bad by looking at it necessarily, it could be the starter and the next thing i`d go to is the alternator, could also be a bad relay... check all that , u might need to borrow a multimeter from somebody to check the relays

If you were able to bump it and it just runs shitty then its not the starters problem. Have you tried pulling the spark plugs and seeing if anything looks wierd about them. Are you sure that the motor is getting fuel. Maybe you have a clogged filter or line. Just throwing out some suggestions.

does it make any noise when you go to start it a click or anything or nothing at all?
