car started fine this morning, started fine at lunch, started fine at the end of work, started fine to go to the bank, go to leave the bank, turn the key "tick" not "tick tick tick tick" like the starters skipping, just "tick" anyone have any ideas?

 

battery

Or loose cables

 

I'm betting it's the battery, but give that starter a tap with something if you can and try it again. If the battery is charged and it still goes tick then I think it's the starter motor.

or corrosion

 

all the electrical accessories work, and the car pop starts everytime, so you think its the starter?

 

check the grounds to your motor. esp. the one that goes to the tranny.

 

grounds are all tight, would the car be able to be pop started if the starter went?

the battery is dead

the accessories only draw very little current and voltage. the starter draws 10x everything else. take your battery to autozone have them test it

 

it's either the starter or the battery. Take it to kragen, pep boys, or some other place like that and have them test the battery. They can tell you if it's dead or not. Otherwise it's probably the starter going bad.
