This started to happen recently, either the starter is dying or my battery needs to be replaced. The car doent crank when i try turn it on sometimes. It sometimes just click, and click. I thought it was the battery so i jump started it, and it still clicked...then with a couple more clicking it worked. Hours later, Same thing would happen, this time i didnt jump start it, after some clicking it worked, what is goin on?

it could be either... I hate that... anyways most autoparts stores can test starters for free... just bring it in.
I pulled mine off and got it tested causeI had the same problem as you, but it ended up being the battery afterall... I thought it was the starter cause the headlights, radio, and power windows worked fine.

yea, everything else seem to work fine, so my first guess whats the starter.

Yeah my starter went out when my clutch did. Smelled horrible, the thing went out when I was going 80mph to on of my lacrosse games. $250 tow charge and a $850 shop bill.
wow, thats a lot to fix a starter isnt it

Well I did have a stage 2 performance clutch put in, I think that was about $400 and about $200 labor, starter I think was $35 but don't quote me on that. And I had a tune up done too.
ah i c, but normally how much are starters?

I think they are about $30-$40 bucks for a starter. here check www.nopi.com they'll have a price for you.
check the engine ground for good connectivity and the starter ground !
