    Starter Problem Maybe

    so i tried turning my car on today (in the morning so the car was cold) and i just hear a click, so i try again and just another click, then i repeatedly turn the key and the car turns on, anyone have an idea? (after i drove where i had to and the car was warm three hours later it turned on just fine)

    Bad battery?

    sounds like the battery to me too, might not be bad, might just need charging or ur terminals might be loose

    actually the day before it died and i had to call my friend to jumpstart it, so i took it to autozone and the guy charged it (an hour later) and i picked it up and he said "the charge looks good, it's a good battery" but the people that work at my local autozone are people i went to high school with XD so i don't trust them too much

    if it does it again in the morning tap the starter with your tire iron or something and then try to start it really quickly. that will tell you if its the starter.

    ahh okay, i heard that before,
    if it is the starter, do you know about how much it'll cost to fix?

    junkyard starter should work. and i am guessing that its the starter if you repeatedly turned the key and it worked. same shit happened to me. then i got stranded.
