Thought I had a starter problem,......bought a new starter, well, it's used, but garuntee'd.
Same thing happens as before I switched starters. I turn the key, and "Click".
Every time I turn the key, it makes one click.
What could that be?

 

i hate to say this but did u make sure ur battery isnt dead ???? also check to see if ur battery terminals are not loose and make sure all the wires look secure and snug. sometimes its the little things. if u dont have a good + contact it wont start

 

^^ditto. Click means ur solenoid is working saying ur ignition switch is working. This also means that there isn't enough amps to turn over ur starter. Either the big positive wire is loose somewhere or the negative battery cable that goes to your bellhousing is dirty/loose..

 

dead battery

 

^^

 

^^ + It could also be a siezed engine... Have you tried to push start it? Happened to me a couple auto x's ago. Engine was cold and died on me b4 my third run and when I went to start it, click.... hopefully not, but worth a check.

 

OK...........I switched batteries. same thing, CLICK.
Might be the engine,......I dunno. it was warm when I went to start it, and it wouldn't. changed the oil every 3000km's. I dunno......still has Oil lvl.

 

try to push start it and see if the engine turns over.., first though put your car in neutral and open the hood, turn the main pulley clockwise, does it turn?

 

This happened to me before. It was my positive terminal. I replaced that and also grabbed a new Negative terminal + cable, but only changed the positive terminal. Bwam, starts like a charm everytime.

 

I got a new, but used starter. supposed to be garuntee'd. but who knows. I'll check the connections.
also, yea, I'll try turn the engine over with that bolt at the front of the engine. Hopefully it moves hahaa, or else It's my engine ......damnn

 

Yeah, probably no big deal. If the motor will turn by hand, then replace both battery cables (if you want to do it right) or at least clean up all of the connections. Just an issue with getting enough juice to the starter to get it spinning (and it takes a lot). Good luck...

 

alright. Thanks.
I'm sure that's all it is.
