Wont start?
Sorry about making a second thread on a starting problem but was curious as to if anyone knows whats gone bad when the car just makes a click when you try to crank. It used to just crank for a while then start. If you have the key trying to start you can hear the click and you can move the clutch back and forth and eventually it will engage the car at a certain point. Thanks in advance for any help I may recieve!

volt/starter
if you have a low volt condition on cranking --should never be lower than 9.5 volds -- this can cause the solenoid to enguage but when it trys to crank there isnt enuf powa , the first thing you should do is grab a mutimeter and have a friend crank the motor and you put the leads on the battery terminals or just listen and if the motor cranks xcent when it does thats a good sign if it cranks slow check voltage
