When i try to start the car it doesnt start. it jux clicks and nothing. i have to click it a couple of times and then it starts. can sumbody tell me wats wrong.... battery is dieing? or sumthin

 

get your starter and battary tested

but i think its the starter

 

well there's a couple of ways of going at it. Check the voltage of the battery before you crank it. If it won't self-start but can be jump-started, its the battery. check that the battery is at 12V when the engine is not running, if its lower than that voltage you might wanna have it replaced. now onto the alternator, check to see that voltage is running around 13-14V when the engine is running...if there's any chance that it below those numbers OR the engine suddenly cuts out thats the problem. As for the distributor...check to see if the seals arent worn and oil is leaking into the distributor. hope that helps...good luck solving the problem.
