Car wouldn't start but does now and seems fine.
A few days ago my car decided it wasn't gonna start, I never did a compression check but a few people said it sounded like it didn't have any compression when I would try to start it. So I figured the engine was done and needed a rebuild. But then a few days after that I was able to pop start it and it seemed fine. Now I'm thinkin it was just flooded, but I was also thinking it might be the started because sometimes before that the started would just click once and do nothing and I would turn the key again and it would start fine. This happened to me twice before. And another time when I was tryin to jump start my car, the starter would just click and not start the car. Everything seems fine now with the car but I'm still unsure if it I should drive the car. Oh another reason why I think it may have just been flooded was because the night before it wouldn't start I started the car and then turned it off before it could properly warm up. I guess what I wanna know is was it flooded or was it my starter.

Yea, the battery thing would make sense because whenever the starter would do that, it was before I put a new battery in and it hasn't done that since. Also I was hoping flooded was just the case. I thought it was flooded too because when it started you could smell a lot of gas. Yea and when I shut it off before it could warm I was thinking, oh crap shouldn't have done that.
