lightly tap the starter with a hammer, or anything with a lil weight. If it starts, the starter is bad.

or plug a wire from your starter to your battery. Make contact with the positive side and if it turns over........it's probably your starter.

My starter would always stick and I would have to bang on it with my Mag-Lite. Atfer about two years of this the starter finally went bad. If it still won't turn over your starter is pretty easy to remove and take to a local auto parts store to be tested for free.

replcaed the starter this weekend. Car didnt start at first. I had to jump the starter from the battery and ground it to the battery as well. Car now starts like a champ, but I am afraid that something else mind be the problem.
