Haven't drove my car for a while. I tried starting it the other day and i had no power to anything. I had a friend come over to jump start it. It fired right up. two days later i tried starting it, and it does not start. Just clicks really bad, i thought my starter might be out, but i had a friend come over to jump it again. It fired right up. So do i need to get a new battery or a starter?

 

sound like you need a new battery. once you get that, i would check to make sure your alternator is charging.

 

Have your battery tested, sounds like it is dead. That clicking is your starter solenoid trying to shut w/o enough juice.

 

well i jumped it with another car and it fired right up i been starting it everyday and it's starts up fine but sounds a littttle weak on the start up. I will check the battery thanks

 

start it up drive it on the hwy for in hour or two so the battery can charge back up

 

go get yourself a auto battery/charging system tester there around $20 if you look around and are a GREAT investment!

Heres an example of one, it will tell you a whole host of proplems.

Im partial to snap on but thats just an example

 

just hook that guy up to your battery while the car is running and it will tell you if the car is charging it, or if the battery is good as well if the car is off.

Or just head over to autozone and use one of theres, or have them do an electrical system check for you.

 

Thanks a bunch man
