here's the story....stored it since september and now it's not turning over. it'll just keep clicking until the battery is drained. battery is new so i think it's the starter because it'll continuously click. is it? lol...i've jumped it everytime and it'll start up and run good. it's when i go back to start it, after i've shut it off, it wont turn over. it's pissin' me off a bit. starter?

When the starter on my old ST was on its way out, to get it started I kept turning the key to start and back to on again and again until the starter started spinning. However, I didn't have a continuous clicking, just one large click. The issue was the contacts on the solenoid. Pulled the starter, replaced the solenoid and contacts with a kit from eBay, cost me about $20 total.
However, if the car is starting fine with a jump, it's not the starter, guaranteed. It's your battery or wiring, and I'm willing to bet its the battery. -------------------- ~Moving on to a 2002 Corolla S~ R.I.P Tom Celica - 1994-2010 |
