For the past few months, every so often my car would take a while to start. IT would turn over for a second. Sometimes wouldnt turn over and just make a clicking sound. But last night, it wouldnt start. Just click. So I tried to jump it, but it didnt work. Is it my battery? The lights and radio still worked. BUt we jumped it again a few hours later and worked. My friends think it may be the starter. What do u guys think?

 

maybe the main fuel relay under the dash
take it out and if you see ne crack in the soder
soder it if so

 

Its the starter I am 100% sure.

Yep. And if your in a pinch and your car wont start hit the starter with a stick or something while someone tries to start it. Should get one or two good starts out of it before it completely ***** the bed on you Plus theres always the infamous push start

 

Push Starting. .. . I have done my share of them. Push starting AWD DSM's sucks.

 

hmmm, well I guess I will have to buy a new starter. My bro also said it could be the alternator belt. Could that be a possiblility?

Well a bad alternator will drain the battery faster, so it could be possible that's why your battery is dead... I'd say replace the battery first, then if the new battery dies you've got something else going on... Just make sure the battery you purchase has some kind of warranty...

The cost and time of changing a battery &lt; the cost and time of changing an alternator...

 

I am telling man it's not the battery its the starter go buuy one it shouldnt take more than 45 mins to put it on dont go waste money on a batt.

 

pretty sure it is the starter

 

its the starter ..... not the main relay and not the main relay ... if your short on money you can rebiuld it very easily .. all you need is some copper ... it will save you alot of money ...

bad guess but a good possibility.....get ur starter to Kragen or Auto and check or self-check

unhook NEGATIVE(black) from main battery....on the starter, look for a jump or connector that goes from the batter to ur starter....then unhook it....chekc the connector...if any dirt or dust or ruste ...brush them off.....get sandpapers or anything that can renew the metal to make it conduct better than do it....and hook it back in....

*CHECK ALL OTHERS GROUND WIRES....damage or rust....replace them...ground wires are very vital to the motor too

 

Same exact thing happened to me it is for sure your distributor! Its not to much to get fixed. Cost me about 150 all you need basically is a new ignitor and it should work perfectly!
