well my car had a small ticking noice and it turned off i didnt drive it for a long time and now when i tried to start it i get nothing but clicking noices. i checked the starter and the battery and both are good. the car is a 96 gsr with 98k miles pretty much stock any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

i have the same problem. havent drove it for a while. tried to start it, but all it did was make a clicking noise. nothing happens...

 

how long has it been sitting? you try jump starting it yet?

 

Its probably the battery.

If it's a manual try push starting it, once it starts disconnect the battery, if it stays on your alternator is still good.

If it's not even turning over at the moment try hitting the starter a couple times, sometime it gets stuck

 

My car had the same problem. Usually that clicking noise that you hear is your starter. The crank with the gear on the end of it will extend into your ingine but wont have enough power to turn your engine over. I sugjest takeing out your starter and haveing it tested at the nearest autozone or whever you can get it tested. If its not the starter make sure your battery is good. But if its just clicking and not turning over it is probably starter or battery!
