i just replaced the starter in it.. still does not start.. battery is good...... dont know what else to check? can anyone help or have had this problem before and know some good things to check? THanks.

 

is it cranking??

if it is, it could be spark plug/tune up related. crank & no fire??

dunno.gif

 

when i go to turn it over it clicks a little bit.. but the darn thing will just not start... and i guess i have not checked the spark plugs or anything yet.. but it was just sitting in front of my house like normal so i dont know... i miss driving my tibby .. havent drove it for like a week + now *sad*

 

check the battery connections. Mine were extremely corroded and it caused it to not start a few times. if you see white acided stuff around terminals, you need to clean them.

Maybe its the altenator? thinking.gif

 

clicking.... how's your connection on the battery? how bout the connection on the starter? any corrosion anywhere?

bad plugs wouldn't cause a click. you'd crank, just not fire up

thats all i've got for opinions...

hm.... we just fully cleaned all of my battery connections........ and im not sure if it is the alternator no clue how i would be able to check that?

*DOES NOT CRANK*

 

if the battery has a full charge then it shouldn't be the alternator... doesn't the alternator charge the battery? If you can get the car to AutoZone or any place like that, they can check the alternator for you.

 

you try jumping it? also, are your battery connections tight?

 

an alternator doesn't start the car...

did you try jumpstarting it yet? if it takes a jump, then your battery is actually not as good as you think it is, or your starter isn't as good as you think it is, and the 2nd battery is actually overpowering your starter, causing it to start

 

The Battery HAS to be dead or the starter is shot. Thats the ONLY reason it will click but not start (its getting power, but dosent have enough amps to crank).
