So this morning my celi died on me. It started just fine and I drove it to my girlfriend's place. then I got ready for work and went to start it again and nothing. looks just like it's a dead battery but pretty sure that's not it since I JUST drove it and the battery is a few weeks old only.
Seems like it doesn't get enough power to anything. lights dim and flicker, every once in a while they will come on and stay on full power though. but if I go to start the car, everything dies. car doesn't turn over or anything. also, I'm hearing some clicking almost like it's shorting sometimes when I turn the lights on. this was my diagnosis for the 5 minutes I had before I had to go to work so any help would be appreciated? bad distributor? alternator? starter? relay? --------------------  *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
