wont start

[franks89sir]

alright forthe past week my car has been acting funny when i get in and turn the key nothin happens all i hear is one click then i wait like 3 sec and do it again and it starts right up but sometimes i wil turn the key several times tel it starts has anyone else had this proble,

[dosh8er]

might be a starter solenoid? You say you try to start it, it clicks, then you try it again, and it eventually cranks? That would be a starter/starter solenoid.

If it's actually cranking over, (you can hear that motory wine sound of the starter) then it could be something related to the fuel or ignition system.

need more info.

if the motor turns but no start ! so it could be your main relay ! ( do you hear a clicking noise when ignition on ! ?
if the engine doesn't turn , check the starter ground ! could be loose !

Same here, it was becoming more constant so I just switched a different started from the junkyard for $10.00. So far so good (1 week).
